Fulfill your dreams and journey to the pristine haven of the Surin Islands with a snorkel tour from Phuket by Siam Adventure World. Dive into the refreshing waters of this five-island archipelago to observe Moorish idols, sea bass, cuttlefish, and clownfish, and explore the traditional lifestyle of the Moken sea gypsies.
- Siam Adventure World - Private Tours - This exceptional day trip takes you to the breathtaking Surin Islands, featuring pristine reefs and vibrant live coral, far from the crowded tourist spots. In 2004, Surin National Marine Park was designated an Andaman Asian Heritage Site. Here, you can encounter serene wildlife such as pig-tailed macaques, flying squirrels, lizards, and sea eagles.
You will be picked up by minivan from anywhere on Phuket Island early in the morning and meet the Siam Adventure World boat crew and guide at the pier in Khao Lak. After enjoying a light breakfast, the speed boat captain will take you on a genuine sea adventure, cruising past stunning seascapes.
In less than 90 minutes, you will reach the first beautiful snorkeling spot at Mae Yai Bay in Surin Island National Marine Park. Here, you can explore vibrant coral reefs and observe colorful fish in their natural habitats in calm waters.
Next, you will slowly cruise past the Moken sea gypsy village while the guide shares insights about the traditional lifestyle of the 150 Moken nomads who have semi-permanently settled on Koh Surin Tai (Southern Surin Island) for several decades. Known as Chao Leh, meaning ‘The Sea People’ in Thai, the Moken spend much of their lives on their boats, called ‘kabang’. They primarily survive through fishing and gathering shellfish and other marine life from the reefs and mudflats.
Continue to Mai Ngam Beach for fun beach activities in the sun or a hike along the 2-kilometer walking path. Then, enjoy a delicious lunch buffet at the National Park canteen to recharge for the next snorkeling sites.
After recharging, head to the stunning Chong Kad Channel or Ao Suthep, depending on the tide. Dive into the clean, clear turquoise waters teeming with magnificent underwater life. After a delightful time, bid farewell to the Surin Islands and return to the pier for transfers back to your accommodation in Phuket, leaving you with happy smiles and an amazing story to share with friends.
