🌴 Welcome to Similan Island 8 – home of Sailboat Rock and Donald Duck Bay! Hop aboard as we cruise through the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. The Similan archipelago is known for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs. Our destination today is the iconic Sailboat Rock – let’s begin this journey. As we approach the island, notice the giant granite boulders sculpted by nature.
We’ve just landed at Donald Duck Bay – named for a boulder that looks like the famous duck! The beach here is breathtaking – soft white sand and stunning blue water.
Let’s gear up for a hike to the top of Sailboat Rock – the views are worth it! The trail is short but steep – don’t forget your water and sunscreen. Look at those granite formations – they’re over 100 million years old!
Almost there… and the view from the top is absolutely stunning. From up here, you can see the whole bay – it looks like a tropical postcard. That rock formation? That’s Sailboat Rock – a favorite for Instagram shots. Let’s take a moment to enjoy the peaceful breeze and scenic beauty.
Time to head down and explore the beach and water below. Donald Duck Bay is perfect for swimming – calm and clear. You can slip into the water for a quick snorkel around the bay.
Check out those colorful fish – it’s like swimming in an aquarium. The coral reef here is healthy and teeming with marine life.
You can just spot a parrotfish and a blue-spotted ray! Don’t forget to bring a waterproof camera – you’ll want to capture this. Back on the beach now, soaking in the sun and salty air. You can relax under the shade of the rocks or explore the shoreline. This is truly one of Thailand’s best-kept secrets.
Want to visit? Islands will be opened again from 15th of October You can reach Similan Islands by boat from Khao Lak or Phuket. We booked a full-day tour, and it included snorkeling gear and lunch. If you love drone shots, this island is a dream to capture. Here’s a panoramic sweep from our drone – just look at that water!
The island is part of a national park – so help keep it clean and protected. Let’s hike back up one more time to catch the sunset from Sailboat Rock. Golden light paints the sky – it’s a peaceful, magical end to our day.
We’ll never forget these views – Thailand truly is paradise. Whether you’re into adventure or just chilling, this place has it all.
And the best part? It’s still relatively untouched by mass tourism. Here’s a quick look at the local wildlife – including some curious monitor lizards! Remember to respect nature and leave no trace. We’re wrapping up our island exploration – what an adventure!
Still can’t get over how clear the water is here. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.
