The islands are part of the Mu Ko Similan National Park, known for their pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life. The Similan Islands are a popular destination for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts due to the rich biodiversity of coral reefs and marine species. Some of the popular dive sites include Elephant Head Rock, East of Eden, and Richelieu Rock, which is considered one of the best dive sites in the world. The islands are also known for their granite rock formations, lush tropical forests, and stunning viewpoints. Visitors can explore the islands on day trips or overnight excursions, staying in tents or bungalows provided by the national park. The Similan Islands are usually open to visitors from November to April, during the dry season, when the sea conditions are most favorable for diving and snorkeling.
