The Similan Islands, located
about one hundred kilometers northwest of Phuket, are composed of nine
granite islands covered in tropical jungle, washed by a clear blue
tropical ocean and blessed with some of the world's finest beaches.
Similan comes from Malay fisherman who named it "The Nine Islands" (Sembilan
is "nine" in Malay) and now the islands are identified by a name–in
Thai–and a number; for example, Ko Huyong (Island #1), located at the
southern end of the chain or Ko Miang (Island #4) located in the middle.
The islands have achieved national park status and thus are fully protected under Thai law. The National Park Authority maintains their presence on two of the islands: Ko Similan (Island #8) the largest, and Ko Miang (Island #4). Recently, the islands have come to the special attention of the Thai Royal Family which further protects them from possible abuse. Currently there is limited accommodation available on the island, but hopefully soon this will be stopped as the island doesn't have the resources to support land-based tourism. There are no resorts on any of the islands and hopefully it will stay this way. |

The 9 highly experienced crew
take great pride in exceptional service whilst always maintaining safety. With 9 comfortable en-suite cabins (plus one standard twin), an extensive dive deck, huge lounge plus full safety equipment, this vessel is truly state of the art and we predict this boat will get very popular with our guests for its mid range priced trips with that little extra. An ice maker has just been installed to ensure you drinks are always cold, and warm towels will be given to you after every dive. Black Manta even has internet access and a massage service! |
