Escape the crowds and embark on an adventure to the breathtaking Surin Islands, home to the fascinating Moken people! The Mu Ko Surin National Marine Park boasts some of the most stunning snorkelling spots in all of Southeast Asia! Unlike other tourist hotspots in Thailand, the Surin Archipelago remains an unspoiled paradise, unscathed by mass tourism. Experience the unique culture of the Moken people, then immerse yourself in tranquil waters and discover the thrill of exploring enchanting coral reefs.
Known as a SCUBA diving and snorkelling mecca, home to one of the top ten diving sites in the world, the Surin National Park is a haven for those who wish to explore what lies beneath the surface. The islands are located in the North Andaman Sea near the border to Myanmar, just far enough away for the Moken people to remain isolated for centuries, yet close enough that we can explore the archipelago by speedboat today. Ready to escape and tour an island paradise? Plan your boat trip to the Surin Islands with us and discover a hidden gem where unparalleled beauty, vibrant coral reefs, and a unique
cultural experience await!
transfer services to help make your Surin Islands wishes a reality. We suggest taking a flight to Phuket International Airport (HKT) if you will be staying further away. HKT airport is just a one-hour transfer away from Khao Lak. Our transfer department can assist you in booking your direct transfer to Khao Lak from Phuket Airport.
Yes, staying overnight on the Surin Islands is permitted within the national park in the national park accommodation. Accommodation ranges from tents to air-conditioned bungalows. If you wish to book accommodation on the island, you must do so directly through the Mu Koh Surin National Park. Visit their webpage for more details. Once you book your accommodation, you still need to get to the islands and back. The Surin National Park Authority does not offer transportation to and from the island. You will be required to organize transportation to and from the national park through one of the speedboat operators who visit the islands on day trips.
The Surin Islands are an underwater explorer's paradise! The waters in the marine park boast some of the richest marine diversity in Thailand, if not the world. Visibility underwater is usually above 20 meters and can reach as high as 40 meters. The underwater landscapes near the islands include vibrant coral reef slopes and plateaus that provide a haven for a wide diversity of reef fishes and invertebrates. Sea-faring reptiles, such as sea turtles and sea snakes, are also found near the islands. Large pelagics, like manta rays and whale sharks, also visit the park waters.
Please note that the Surin Islands National Park is officially closed between May 15th and October 15th to ensure visitor safety and for park rehabilitation during the monsoon season. Unpredictable weather, tropical storms, and a significant increase in wave height pose a risk to boat travel and water sports activities.
This period coincides with the sea turtle nesting season as well. Closing the park allows these endangered creatures to nest and hatch their eggs undisturbed, protecting future generations of these graceful reptiles.
Please be aware that cancellations made less than 72 hours before the tour date are non- refundable.
