Your Dream Destination
We have created the following itinerary around Paul’s personal favourite destinations and the most popular routes enjoyed by our regular guests: this underwater photography tour includes the fabulous coral formations and seascapes around one of the world’s ‘top ten’ listed diving destinations: The Mu Koh Similan Marine National Park. This glorious archipelago can be found some 90km north west of Phuket where it has greatly benefited from its designation as a protected Marine National Park back in 1982. The crystal clear surrounding waters are home to a myriad of tropical fish and resident reef inhabitants amongst splendid coral formations.
The area offers some of the best diving in the world plus close encounters on the surface with turtles and dolphins - something that is always enjoyed by snorkellers and swimmers! There are stunning palm fringed powder white beaches to explore, often experienced with no other travellers in sight, and steep winding mountain tracks to trek for those willing to exert themselves to experience the most spectacular views.
