Liveaboard diving from Phuket
to the Tarutao Nationalpark
This safari take you on a liveaboard around Phi Phi Islands, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Ko Ha, Tarutao National Park and all the way down from Phuket to Malaysia's Langkawi.
The 51 islands of the Koh Tarutao Marine National Park lie in the Andaman Sea, 20-70 km west of the mainland. Adang Island, with a steep and rugged landscape almost completely covered by tropical rainforest, may be the most wild andappealing of the islands. Sparkling clear water and superb coral reefs provide habitat for a wide variety of marine life. The area of Koh Adang, Koh Rawi contains many coral reefs of high species diversity. It is estimated that the park contains about 25% of the world's fish families. Some of the more important include members of the shark, ray, grouper, eel, carp, catfish, salmon, flying perch, angelfish and butterflyfish families. With some luck also dugong and dolphin can be spotted in the park. The small idyllic island of Ko Lipe, part of the Tarutao National Park, is still inhabited by Sea Gypsies and due to the fact that there is no easy access by road has largely remained in it's natural state far away from mass tourism Phuket's. In the last couple of years a few resort facilities opened and it can now be compared to the famous Phi Phi Islands but 10 years ago.
