Spend time exploring Khao Lak, Phuket and the Similan Islands on Thailand's west coast. Expect a kaleidoscope of marine life, with opportunities to spot leopard sharks and manta rays, as well as time to relax in paradise.
This itinerary starts with a few days in Khao Lak to relax and dive (should you choose to do so) before joining a three day liveaboard to explore the spectacular Similan Islands. You’re in safe hands with our award winning dive operator as you discover these stunning islands: gigantic boulders create a fantastic world both above and below the water. Immerse yourself in thriving reefs, lush corals, giant sea fans and an incredible variety of marine life including sharks, manta rays and whale sharks if you’re lucky!
You'll then move to Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, fringed with white sandy beaches and home to some of the country's most outstanding dive sites.
You will be met on arrival and transferred to Khao Lak, spending the next four nights relaxing at the small dive resort set amidst tropical gardens. Diving, spa facilities and local sightseeing is available from here.
After your final day of diving from the liveaboard, transfer south to Phuket spending the next four nights relaxing at the sister property in Chalong where beaches, bars, shops and entertainment can all be found nearby.
It's possible to continue diving from here, for a supplement. Ask us for further details.
Please note: If you want to extend your stay, it’s possible to tailor-make your holiday to enjoy time at both resorts. Ask our Dive experts for their advice.
