Turtle Rock – Similan Islands

Turtle Rock

Turtle Rock is located on island No. 8. It is also known as HIn Toa. The site got its name because a few of the boulders combined make a shape of a turtle. The secret beauty of Turtle Rock are the numerous swim throughs, all at 6 meters.  These can be little scary, as many large fishes are hiding in there.
