Surin Islands - Private Speedboat
Experience Snorkeling like Never Before – Rated as one of Thailand’s top snorkeling spots, the Surin Islands offer an exceptional underwater spectacle. The islands boast of long, expansive, and shallow coral reefs along their sheltered eastern coast, creating an ideal environment for both beginner and seasoned snorkelers.
The Surin Islands Marine Park is a treasure trove of diverse flora and fauna, both on land and underwater. This area is exclusively inhabited by the nomadic Moken people, traditionally living in the Burmese Mergui Archipelago.
Our Surin Islands Private Tour allows you to immerse yourself in this natural wonderland, starting with an extended snorkeling session at Ao Mae Yai. You’ll then get an exclusive opportunity to visit the intriguing Moken Village and interact with the local community. Bask in the sun on a pristine white sand beach, satiate your taste buds with delectable Thai cuisine, and then dive into more underwater exploration at Chong Kad Bay or Suthep Bay.
Open between October 15th and May 15th, the Surin Islands are a part of the National Park. With our full-day snorkeling package on a private boat, discover the hidden marvels of the Surin Islands at your own pace, with a personalized touch.

What we think about our Surin Islands Private Charter Tour
Hello, fellow adventurers,
At Siam Adventure World, we’re frequently asked about our favourite tours. It’s always a tough choice, but our private charter to the Surin Islands holds a special place in our hearts. It’s not just a tour to us; it’s a magical journey that never fails to inspire awe and admiration.
Nestled in the pristine waters of the Andaman Sea, the Surin Islands boast of sprawling coral reefs and diverse marine life, offering one of the finest snorkeling experiences in Thailand. Even if you’re a beginner, the calm, sheltered eastern coast provides ample opportunities to delve into this vibrant underwater world.
One of the most unique aspects of Surin Islands is the local Moken community, also known as the “Sea Gypsies”. Their remarkable seafaring lifestyle and culture adds a profound layer of depth to the Surin experience. Taking a stroll through their village is a cultural immersion that we highly recommend.
To make your day even more memorable, you have the option to enjoy a delightful Thai meal at the National Park Restaurant. This, however, is entirely up to you. The day belongs to you and we are here to tailor it to your preferences.
In terms of timings, the Surin Islands welcome visitors from October 15th to May 15th. Unlike many other locations, Surin offers the unique opportunity for an overnight stay, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this stunning natural paradise.
So, are you ready to create unforgettable memories with us? Let’s together explore the enchanting allure of the Surin Islands, respecting the natural and cultural integrity of this magical locale.
With love,
The Phuket Travel Store Team

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!
