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
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
