Itinerary
After a convenient pickup service by minivan from your hotel in Khao Lak and enjoying a light breakfast at the pier, cruise by speedboat to Mu Ko Surin National Park. During the whole trip you will be attended by the carefully trained and lovely Wow Andaman crew.
Cruise by speed boat to Surin Islands which is rated as one of Thailand's prime snorkeling sites with a phenomenal range of flora and fauna on the land and in the sea. The two main islands Koh Surin Nua (North Surin Island) and Koh Surin Tai (South Surin Island) form the bulk of the land mass. The other 3 satellite islands both enhance the overground vistas and provide supplementary fringing reef.
The casual tourist may be able to enjoy a glimpse of the park's promise whilst the naturalist can marvel at the impressive bio-diversity. During the day you will make several snorkel stops, at Pakkard Bay, at Nemo Village and at Ao Mae Yai, always with turquoise waters and colourful reefs and fish.
You will also visit the village of the Moken where you can meet the local Sea Gypsies. Discover their natural way of life, still dependent on fish hunting and building their homes from natural raw materials. They are very friendly and welcome kind explorers to their home.
Afterwards, make a stop on Koh Surin Nua for enjoying a delicious lunch at the National Park canteen. You will also have time for fun activities in the sun at Mai Ngam Beach or some hiking along the 2-kilometre walking path.
In the afternoon you will visit one more snorkeling site at Ao Mae Yai to explore the amazing coral gardens. Then head back to the pier in Khao Lak where you can enjoy light refreshments before finally being dropped off at your hotel in Khao Lak.

A Vacation Spot You Won’t Want To Miss
I was so impressed with the professional quality of the tour. The boat was in pristine condition, the guides were knowledgeable and hilarious (+great photographers 🙂), the food service was timely and so many delicious snacks were served on the boat! I went with my sister and we both throughly enjoyed the Surin islands. Not only was the water crystal clear we also saw a whale and a sea turtle from the boat. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to see some amazing coral reefs and some of the bluest water I have ever seen.
Excellently organised trip with fab staff and excellent food.
An excellently organised trip where staff went over and above to ensure we had and excellent time. Boat was comfortable and not overcrowded (24 of us). Time spent at each location was spot on and the food was excellent. We were a family of four with a 13 and 9 year old. We were worried that the 1hr40 min speedboat ride would be too long and bumpy for them but it was neither. In fact the green curry back at their buffet dinner was one of the best we've had!
An amazing place to see and snorkel
An excellent trip well organised and great staff, would recommend. It was nearly 2 hours each way on the speed boat to get there and back but worth it. We saw some of the best coral I’ve ever seen and lots of fish types too.
Really good snorkeling experience
Amazing snorkeling trip that stopped at three different spots and also a village on the beach at one of the islands. Company even managed to canter vegan food for lunch, so extremely grateful. Definitely worth going with. Also fins are given for a deposit of 200thb which is given back upon fin return as a heads up
