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).

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.

  • 2-day trips @ 600 THB
  • 3-day trips @ 1000 THB
  • 5-day trips @ 1400 THB

Personal diving gear is not included in the price. Prices include all meals, coffee, tea and drinking water, air fills, tanks and weights and belts, divemaster services, and accommodation. Extras on board include alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and diving instruction or courses.

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. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance for any kind of trip you do anywhere in the world. We also recommend that you have DAN or other diving accident insurance up to date and current in case of an unanticipated evacuation or other treatment that may not be covered by your regular insurance.
