What we think about our Surin Islands Early Bird tour
Hey there adventurous soul! We, the Siam Adventure World team, are all about making sure you have the time of your life, and we believe our Surin Islands tour does just that. Here’s the inside scoop, straight from us:
1. Snorkeling TOP Excellence: Now, some might tell you that Similan is THE place for snorkeling. But we’re here to (friendly) debate that. Surin Islands – now THAT’s what we’re talking about. Teeming with the vibrant marine life nestled in shallow, expansive coral reefs, it’s like stepping into an underwater wonderland. So, mask on, dive in, and let Surin surprise you!
2. Serenity and Nature overload: If you’re into quiet corners of the world that are still wild and free, you’ll fall head over heels for the Surin Islands. Picture this – you, basking in the tranquility of lush greenery, crystal clear waters, and untouched sandy beaches. Nature lovers, this is your happy place!
3. The Journey from Phuket: So here’s the teensy hitch – Surin Islands is a bit of a stretch from Phuket. But hey, who doesn’t love a bit of a road trip (or in this case, a boat trip)? Sure, it’s a tad further, but once you set foot on these gorgeous islands, you’ll agree the journey’s a tiny blip on an otherwise spectacular radar.
In a coconut shell, our Surin Islands tour is a bucket-list adventure that’ll let you snorkel in one of the world’s best spots, connect with raw nature, and meet some truly amazing people. It’s your ticket to paradise, and we can’t wait to welcome you aboard – so let’s set sail and make some unforgettable memories together! See you soon, adventurer!

Customer Testimonials
Wunderschönes Erlebnis mit Elefanten!
Das war einer der schönsten Ausflüge, die wir je gemacht haben. Die Elefanten leben hier wirklich artgerecht - kein Reiten, kein Zwang, einfach nur Ruhe und Respekt. Wir konnten sie füttern, mit ihnen spazieren gehen und sie aus nächster Nahe erleben. Die Atmosphäre war total entspannt, nichts war überlaufen oder touristisch übertrieben. Auch die Guides waren super freundlich und haben viel über die Tiere und den Hintergrund des Projekts erzählt. Man merkt sofort: Hier steht das Wohl der Tiere an erster Stelle. Für alle, die Tiere lieben und auf verantwortungsvollen Tourismus Wert legen, ist das ein absolutes Muss. Danke an Phuket Travel Store für diese besondere Erfahrung!
