Island Number 4 is home to Princess Bay. The nature trail here takes you to the other side of the beautiful island. Don’t spend too long on the other side though, or you might miss your beach lunch!

Q) I haven’t snorkeled before, will I be OK?

Things to consider before you book:
- Check whether your travel insurance covers all accidents on a boat, including evacuations. Don’t worry if it does not, we can arrange the insurance individually. If you wish
- Notify your bank that you are traveling to Thailand. This ensures that your credit/debit cards will work and avoids any ‘red flags’ when making payments.
- Make sure your departure and arrival dates are not tightly scheduled with any transfer plans. Transportation can sometimes be delayed making you miss departure time, or the boat could arrive back to port late (although this is unlikely).
It is highly unlikely that anything will go wrong, but it’s always best to be prepared!
New regulations of Similan Islands National Park require passport copies in the moment of the booking.
The speedboat has right to change or adjust the itinerary of the tour if necessary due to weather changes or any other unforeseen circumstances.
