🛥 By catamaran
Why a catamaran?
With its twin hulls, a catamaran rocks less in the waves, so there is less risk of seasickness, and the wide deck has plenty of shade and seating. It's the boat TripRAON recommends first for families with children or older travellers, and for anyone worried about seasickness.

Some places are more beautiful in person than in photos. Similan is just such a place. As a national park that opens only for a limited time of the year, a trip here brings an even more special sense of excitement. As Sawanu’s speed catamaran gently cuts through the water, the distant Similan islands slowly draw closer.
