Similan Islands Snorkel Tour

Come aboard the Poseidon Similan Tour, a snorkeling only live-aboard tour of the Similan Islands. The boat was comfortable, the food delicious, great guide (hi Daniel), fantastic snorkeling and it was fun. Did I mention that I was ‘the American’ among 18 Swedes?

It was a 3 day/2 night trip around the Similan Islands, a tropical paradise. We saw white-tipped sharks, hawksbill turtles, dolphin, MANY beautiful fish, sea snakes, corals…it was just lovely. We swam in warm water, visited beaches, slept in bunk beds (some slept outside), watched a full moon rise and smiled a lot.

The islands have many of these beautiful, velvety rocks.
