Route Description - Similan Islands 4 or 6 nights

Above the water, the Similan Islands boast stunning topography, with lush vegetation giving way to granite boulders or white sandy beaches, all surrounded by crystal-clear water. However, it is the underwater scenery that makes the Similans and Surin Islands some of the top scuba diving liveaboard destinations in Thailand and Asia.

Similan Islands
The above-water scenery boasts stunning white sandy beaches with small forested areas. Dive sites include Boulder City, Shark Fin Reef, Anita's Reef, and Three Trees. Underwater, you may encounter leopard (zebra) sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, clown triggerfish, rabbitfish, scorpionfish, snappers, emperor fish, giant trevally, and angelfish. The coral gardens, bommies, and boulder formations are wonderful to explore. Elephant Head Rock, visible from the surface, is the largest pinnacle in the Similans, featuring fantastic swim-throughs. White tip reef sharks, batfish, trevally, and barracuda can often be seen around the boulders. In the cracks and rubble, you might spot smashing mantis shrimp, porcelain crabs, moray eels, and cleaner shrimp. Other sites dominated by huge granite boulders, such as Deep Six, Christmas Point, and North Point, offer sightings of white tip reef sharks, schooling giant trevally, and schools of neon fusiliers.

Koh Bon
This location is the most likely spot to see manta rays on this itinerary. You may also see Napoleon wrasse, sweetlips, octopus, bluefin trevally, giant moray eels, great barracudas, fire dart goby, spiny lobster, and various nudibranchs. Dive sites vary from wall diving to gently sloping reefs, and from submerged boulders to coral gardens. Diving on the West Ridge can be an adrenaline-filled drift with amazing views, while the North Reef offers a gentler experience over a hard coral garden.

Koh Tachai
Famous for its pinnacle dive site known as Twin Peaks, Koh Tachai also offers more relaxed reef diving on the North Reef and South Reef. You can typically find turtles, barracuda, pipefish, and nudibranchs here. There is also a chance to see larger species like manta rays and whale sharks, especially from late January to April.

Richelieu Rock
This limestone pinnacle, named by Jacques Cousteau after Cardinal Richelieu, is covered in gorgeous purple dendronephthya soft corals and magnificent sea anemones. Barely breaking the surface at low tide, this horseshoe-shaped outcropping slopes steeply to a sandy bottom at 18 to 35 meters (60-120 feet). It offers great diversity for such a small and isolated spot, excellent multi-level diving, and sheltered areas to hide from currents. The marine life includes pharaoh cuttlefish, large octopuses, all five varieties of anemone fish of the Andaman Sea, various moray eels, ornate ghost pipefish, smashing mantis shrimp, harlequin shrimp, tiger tail seahorses, Spanish mackerel, frogfish, many schooling snapper, and occasional sightings of manta rays and whale sharks.

Surin Islands
Koh Surin's topside scenery, with evergreen forests, mangroves, and small beaches, surpasses even that of the picturesque Similan Islands. Underwater, the reefs of Surin boast some of the greatest hard coral diversity in Thailand. At sites like Torinla Pinnacle, Hin Kong, and Turtle Ledges, you are likely to see Napoleon wrasse, yellow-masked angelfish, bumphead parrotfish, tomato anemonefish, and barramundi, as well as many turtles that still come ashore to lay their eggs. Due to the remoteness, few liveaboard boats visit these islands, allowing you to enjoy the dive sites without sharing them with tourist hordes.

Underwater, you may encounter leopard (zebra) sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, clown triggerfish, rabbitfish, scorpionfish, snappers, emperor fish, giant trevally, and angelfish. The coral gardens, bommies, and boulder formations are wonderful to explore. Elephant Head Rock, visible from the surface, is the largest pinnacle in the Similans, featuring fantastic swim-throughs. White tip reef sharks, batfish, trevally, and barracuda can often be seen around the boulders. In the cracks and rubble, you might spot smashing mantis shrimp, porcelain crabs, moray eels, and cleaner shrimp. Other sites dominated by huge granite boulders, such as Deep Six, Christmas Point, and North Point, offer sightings of white tip reef sharks, schooling giant trevally, and schools of neon fusiliers.

Koh Bon
This location is the most likely spot to see manta rays on this itinerary. You may also see Napoleon wrasse, sweetlips, octopus, bluefin trevally, giant moray eels, great barracudas, fire dart goby, spiny lobster, and various nudibranchs. Dive sites vary from wall diving to gently sloping reefs, and from submerged boulders to coral gardens. Diving on the West Ridge can be an adrenaline-filled drift with amazing views, while the North Reef offers a gentler experience over a hard coral garden.

Koh Tachai
Famous for its pinnacle dive site known as Twin Peaks, Koh Tachai also offers more relaxed reef diving on the North Reef and South Reef. You can typically find turtles, barracuda, pipefish, and nudibranchs here. There is also a chance to see larger species like manta rays and whale sharks, especially from late January to April.

Richelieu Rock
This limestone pinnacle, named by Jacques Cousteau after Cardinal Richelieu, is covered in gorgeous purple dendronephthya soft corals and magnificent sea anemones. Barely breaking the surface at low tide, this horseshoe-shaped outcropping slopes steeply to a sandy bottom at 18 to 35 meters (60-120 feet). It offers great diversity for such a small and isolated spot, excellent multi-level diving, and sheltered areas to hide from currents. The marine life includes pharaoh cuttlefish, large octopuses, all five varieties of anemone fish of the Andaman Sea, various moray eels, ornate ghost pipefish, smashing mantis shrimp, harlequin shrimp, tiger tail seahorses, Spanish mackerel, frogfish, many schooling snapper, and occasional sightings of manta rays and whale sharks.

Surin Islands
Koh Surin's topside scenery, with evergreen forests, mangroves, and small beaches, surpasses even that of the picturesque Similan Islands. Underwater, the reefs of Surin boast some of the greatest hard coral diversity in Thailand. At sites like Torinla Pinnacle, Hin Kong, and Turtle Ledges, you are likely to see Napoleon wrasse, yellow-masked angelfish, bumphead parrotfish, tomato anemonefish, and barramundi, as well as many turtles that still come ashore to lay their eggs. Due to the remoteness, few liveaboard boats visit these islands, allowing you to enjoy the dive sites without sharing them with tourist hordes.

Route Description - Similan Islands 4 or 6 nights

Above the water, the Similan Islands boast stunning topography, with lush vegetation giving way to granite boulders or white sandy beaches, all surrounded by crystal-clear water. However, it is the underwater scenery that makes the Similans and Surin Islands some of the top scuba diving liveaboard destinations in Thailand and Asia.

Route Description - Southern Explorer

Join The Junk on these epic itineraries exploring the very best diving that Southern Thailand has to offer, taking in the highlights of Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Haa, Koh Phi Phi, King Cruiser and more!

Koh Haa
Possibly some of the most underrated diving in the whole of Thailand, Moo Koh Haa ‘five island group’ sits almost halfway between Hin Daeng and Phi Phi and is part of the Koh Lanta National Marine Park. There are actually several dive sites around Ko Haa but the highlights are Ko Haa Lagoon, Ko Haa Neua, and Ko Haa Yai.
Around these amazing islands you can see pinnacles, walls, boulders, caverns, and swim-throughs. Ko Haa lagoon is ideal for night dives, courses, and snorkeling, while The Chimney and The Cathedral offer things that you cannot see on other Thailand liveaboard itineraries with caverns, swim-throughs and chambers all over the sites. Ko Haa has varied marine life too, with ornate ghost pipefish, morays eels, octopus, hawksbill turtles, sea horses, marble rays, and sometimes even leopard sharks.

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang
These two sites are pinnacles (translating directly as Red Rock and Purple Rock) in the open ocean, reaching down to over 70m, and are best known for manta ray and whale shark encounters. Whether these are sighted or not, the sites also offer giant moray eels, pharaoh cuttlefish, schooling rainbow runners and snappers, barracudas, groupers, fusiliers, and bluefin trevally. On the pinnacles, there are fields of Magnificent Anemones, walls of Hemprics soft corals, and huge gorgonian sea fans. Almost perpetual good visibility and dramatic topography combined with huge fish numbers makes for excellent liveaboard diving.

Koh Phi Phi
Laying in Phang-Nga bay about 45km east of Phuket and 30km southwest of Krabi, two breathtaking limestone islands make up the greater part of Moo Koh Phi Phi; the largest island of Phi Phi Don being a few kilometres north of Phi Phi Lae. Limestone cliffs rise vertically into the sky, where the trees take over. There are many beaches, coves, and bays which make for dramatic scenery to enjoy during surface intervals.
There are many, many dive sites around the Phi Phi island group, many consisting of wall dives, the limestone dropping to depth ranges between 10m and 25m. The walls can have gorgonian fans, soft corals and coral bushes and interesting rock formations and swim throughs. At the base of these walls there are often hard coral gardens to explore. You can expect a great amount of fish life, including lionfish, wrasse, Moorish idols, angelfish, rays, trevallies. Also keep an eye out for leopard sharks sleeping on the sandy bottoms or blacktip reef sharks cruising the reefs. Turtles can also quite commonly be seen here. Lastly, check the fans and bushes for tigertail seahorses and harlequin ghost pipefish.

King Cruiser
The King Cruiser was a car ferry that used to travel between Phi Phi and Phuket. In 1997, ‘the cruiser’ hit Anemone Reef on her crossing and sank a short distance away. No lives were lost, but divers were left with a great wreck dive! While she is largely broken up now, she is covered in soft corals and hides some wonderful gems, as well as being home to several large schools of snappers. While currents can be strong and visibility sometimes challenging, this is a great site to dive as part of an Advanced Open Water course.

The King Cruiser was a car ferry that used to travel between Phi Phi and Phuket. In 1997, ‘the cruiser’ hit Anemone Reef on her crossing and sank a short distance away. No lives were lost, but divers were left with a great wreck dive! While she is largely broken up now, she is covered in soft corals and hides some wonderful gems, as well as being home to several large schools of snappers. While currents can be strong and visibility sometimes challenging, this is a great site to dive as part of an Advanced Open Water course.

Route Description - Southern Explorer

Join The Junk on these epic itineraries exploring the very best diving that Southern Thailand has to offer, taking in the highlights of Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Haa, Koh Phi Phi, King Cruiser and more!

Koh Haa
Possibly some of the most underrated diving in the whole of Thailand, Moo Koh Haa ‘five island group’ sits almost halfway between Hin Daeng and Phi Phi and is part of the Koh Lanta National Marine Park. There are actually several dive sites around Ko Haa but the highlights are Ko Haa Lagoon, Ko Haa Neua, and Ko Haa Yai.
Around these amazing islands you can see pinnacles, walls, boulders, caverns, and swim-throughs. Ko Haa lagoon is ideal for night dives, courses, and snorkeling, while The Chimney and The Cathedral offer things that you cannot see on other Thailand liveaboard itineraries with caverns, swim-throughs and chambers all over the sites. Ko Haa has varied marine life too, with ornate ghost pipefish, morays eels, octopus, hawksbill turtles, sea horses, marble rays, and sometimes even leopard sharks.

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang
These two sites are pinnacles (translating directly as Red Rock and Purple Rock) in the open ocean, reaching down to over 70m, and are best known for manta ray and whale shark encounters. Whether these are sighted or not, the sites also offer giant moray eels, pharaoh cuttlefish, schooling rainbow runners and snappers, barracudas, groupers, fusiliers, and bluefin trevally. On the pinnacles, there are fields of Magnificent Anemones, walls of Hemprics soft corals, and huge gorgonian sea fans. Almost perpetual good visibility and dramatic topography combined with huge fish numbers makes for excellent liveaboard diving.

Koh Phi Phi
Laying in Phang-Nga bay about 45km east of Phuket and 30km southwest of Krabi, two breathtaking limestone islands make up the greater part of Moo Koh Phi Phi; the largest island of Phi Phi Don being a few kilometres north of Phi Phi Lae. Limestone cliffs rise vertically into the sky, where the trees take over. There are many beaches, coves, and bays which make for dramatic scenery to enjoy during surface intervals.
There are many, many dive sites around the Phi Phi island group, many consisting of wall dives, the limestone dropping to depth ranges between 10m and 25m. The walls can have gorgonian fans, soft corals and coral bushes and interesting rock formations and swim throughs. At the base of these walls there are often hard coral gardens to explore. You can expect a great amount of fish life, including lionfish, wrasse, Moorish idols, angelfish, rays, trevallies. Also keep an eye out for leopard sharks sleeping on the sandy bottoms or blacktip reef sharks cruising the reefs. Turtles can also quite commonly be seen here. Lastly, check the fans and bushes for tigertail seahorses and harlequin ghost pipefish.
