Local tips

Bring your own snorkeling gear to save on rental costs and ensure you have the right fit.
Consider visiting during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more serene experience.
Stay hydrated and pack snacks, as food options on the islands can be limited and expensive.
Respect the natural environment by not touching or stepping on the coral reefs.

Getting There

Car

If you have a rental car, start from your location in the Similan Islands and navigate towards the nearest pier. The most common starting point is Thap Lamu Pier. From there, drive for approximately 1 hour (about 60 km) along Route 4, following signs for Khura Buri. When you reach Khura Buri, follow local signs to the pier for boat services to the islands. Ensure you check the boat schedule ahead of time, as departures are typically limited. Expect to pay around 1,500-3,000 THB for a round trip.
Public Transportation

For those relying on public transportation, head to Khura Buri by local bus or minivan from your location in the Similan Islands. Buses depart regularly from major towns and will cost around 100-300 THB. Once you arrive in Khura Buri, make your way to the pier where you can purchase tickets for a boat to Остров 8. The boat fare is typically between 1,500-3,000 THB for a return trip. It's advisable to arrive early to secure a spot on the boat, especially during peak tourist seasons.
Boat Transfer

Once you reach the pier in Khura Buri, board the boat service heading to the Similan Islands. The boat ride usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on sea conditions. Ensure you have your ticket ready and follow safety instructions provided by the crew. The boat will drop you off at Остров 8, where you can enjoy the stunning beaches and diving spots. Remember to bring cash for any entrance or activity fees once you arrive on the island.
