The Surin Islands are five fabulous islands, approximately 100 km north of Khao Lak. They may not be as famous as the Similan Islands, but they are equally stunning. Known for their colorful coral reefs and vibrant underwater life, they captivate many divers, and even snorkelers will be amazed by the natural beauty of the underwater world.
Mu Ko Surin National Park, richly covered in vegetation and surrounded by turquoise waters, is an almost untouched paradise. Fantastic coral reefs, along with various fish species and pristine sandy beaches, tempt you to stay.
Since the Surin Islands are the only inhabited archipelago, we will stop in a small fishing village with its own culture to take a walk and get an insight into how this culture lives on the beautiful Surin Island. Your guide will provide you with interesting information about island life.
The Surin Islands are perfect for snorkeling, swimming, and relaxation. So, we have two stops in different snorkeling spots, each lasting 45 minutes. This time is enough to explore the beautiful underwater world. For lunch, we will visit a restaurant in the national park, where a delicious Thai buffet awaits us. After lunch, you will have time to enjoy the beach and bask in the sun.
Our guide will provide you with interesting information about island life, and we will visit the village of the Moken sea gypsies. There, you can immerse yourself in the culture of the sea gypsies and their traditional way of life.
