What to Expect

The Surin Islands rank among Thailand’s best snorkeling destinations, with rich marine life and unspoilt coral reefs. The main islands are Koh Surin Nua (North) and Koh Surin Tai (South), accompanied by three smaller islands.

You’ll make several snorkel stops at Pakkard Bay, the “Nemo Village” and Ao Mae Yai — expect crystal-clear waters and colourful coral gardens.

A visit to the Moken village offers a glimpse into the sea nomads’ way of life.

During the day you’ll stop on Koh Surin Nua for lunch at the national park canteen, then relax at Mai Ngam beach or explore the 2 km trail. In the afternoon, enjoy one last snorkel at Ao Mae Yai before returning to Khao Lak pier for light refreshments and the transfer back to your Phuket hotel.
