Apnea Adventure Itinerary

freediving liveaboards - similan + surin islands

Departure day:

You can check in anytime before 4 pm on departure day at Sea Dragon Dive Centre, Khao Lak. Drop your luggage in the storage room and explore the town, go to the beach, grab a massage, and/or eat dinner. We meet back at the dive center at 18:30 ready for departure

Your Freediving Trip Supervisor will give a quick pre-departure briefing before we leave the dive center. Our southern trips depart from Thap Lamu harbour, which takes about 20 minutes by taxi. Our northern trips depart from Khuraburi harbour, which takes about 1 hour 20 minutes by air-conditioned minibus.

Onboard, we will show you to your cabin where you can stow your luggage. The Freediving Trip Supervisor will then give a boat orientation and briefing on the middle deck. The journey to the islands takes about 4-5 hours to the Similans, 3-4 hours to the Surins.

Return on the final day:

After the second freedive on the last day of your trip, we head to the nearest harbour. From the Similans, we go to Thap Lamu harbour. We serve lunch on the journey and you’ll have time to relax more as well as pack up your things

Before we arrive at the jetty, should you wish to, you can leave a tip for the boat crew in their private tip box.

We arrive back at the dive center at about 16.30 - 17:00hrs.
