What's Included?
Oktavia's trips leave from a port called Thap Lamu north of Phuket, so it may be more convenient to stay in Khao Lak rather than Phuket before and after your trip for all Oktavia departures. However, if you choose to stay in Phuket or need transfers from Phuket International to the boat, we are happy to provide that for 500 THB each person to and from the boat (1,000 THB return). Speedboat transfers are charged at 1,000 THB per person for both the two-day itineraries and three-day itineraries.
Thai National Park fees apply to both the Similan Islands and Surin Islands (including Richelieu Rock). These are were imposed in November, 2001, and are currently 400 THB per person per entry and 200 THB per day for divers.

Note: We can take no responsibility for scheduling or itinerary changes due to changing weather, political situations, natural disasters or other events beyond our control.
