The Otherworldly Beauty of the Surin Islands

Receive an early morning pickup from your hotel in Phuket, after which you’ll be transferred to a waiting speed boat for the trip across the waters of the Andaman Sea towards the Surin Islands.

Spend the next several hours island hopping between the many gems of this 52 square mile (135 square kilometer) marine park, exploring its wealth of coral reefs, diverse marine life and sandy beaches. You’ll have the chance to snorkel at dive sites like Ao Tao, Ao Pak Kaad, Ao Chong Kaad, and Ao Suthep, each offering a startling array of colorful corals and brightly-hued fish.

After stopping for an included lunch, continue even deeper into the heart of this unspoiled tropical paradise in the afternoon. Take a hike through the the islands’ heavily-forested interior, or simply take a break and relax on the soft sands of the island beaches. At the end of the day, re-board your speedboat for the trip back to the mainland, receiving a drop-off back at your Phuket hotel.

Not even the most beautiful insightful book on sea life by a seasoned marine biologist can quite match the wonders of Koh Surin Marine National Park experienced first-hand. A full day of ‘paradise on earth’ where postcard-perfect images will come alive.
