Some of the best snorkelling sites in Thailand are off the Surin Islands. Because the area is quite remote, with clear shallow water and fewer visitors, it is the perfect island paradise!
The two Surin Islands just have a shallow channel between each other which provides a constant supply of flowing water to create perfect conditions for coral growth as well as to support the wide variety of marine life that live there AND to give you fantastic snorkelling opportunities. Here you will find yourself spending time with the likes of “Nemo” Clownfish, Octopuss, Pipefish, Coral Groupers, and many many more! Encounters with sea turtles are quite frequent here too.
A comfortable, air-conditioned mini-van transfer from your Khao Lak resort will take you to the Pier, arriving at about 7.00am. After Registration formalities, you will head out to sea for the exciting speedboat ride to the first snorkelling spot of the day. You will arrive at Surin Island at approximately 9.40am to snorkel in the crystal clear water and also you will visit Moken sea gypsy village. The Moken are an Austronesian people who live a semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle heavily based on the sea who you will no doubt find very interesting.
After this you will be taken to your second snorkelling spot and then by the beach you will enjoy a tasty Thai Buffet Lunch.
Early afternoon your speedboat will move you onto the third, and final, location to do some snorkelling. It is absolutely stunning here! So stunning that it is difficult to put into words might best be described as 'beauty personified'.
Approximately 2.30pm you will be head back to the Pier and transferred to your Khao Lak resort, bringing with you some wonderful memories that will stay with your forever.
