Know before you book

  • Get picked up from your hotel in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Ao Nam Mao, Klong Muang and Tubkaek Beach. The exact pick-up time will be confirmed by email after you have made the booking.
  • If you stay at Railay Beach, we offer a pickup service from the boat ticket office at Ao Nam Mao Pier which is just a 15-minute longtail boat ride from Railay East.
  • If you stay at Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas, please take the hotel shuttle boat to Nopparat Thara Pier in Ao Nang.
  • This tour is not recommended for pregnant women, infants under 4 years, people over 69 years or people with back or neck problems.
  • There is a minimum of 4 people required to run this tour! On the rare occasion that we should be required to cancel a tour, we will inform you in advance and offer a different tour date, an alternative tour or provide a full refund.
  • To be able to board the speed boat at the pier, it is essential that you send us a copy of the passport ID page (the one with your photo, your date of birth, etc.) for each traveller before the trip starts. Otherwise you have to bring the passport or a copy of the passport on the trip itself.

What you can expect

Explore the unspoiled paradise of Surin Islands with coloured corals, a variety of fish and white sand beaches on a speed boat trip with pickup from Krabi. The boat team of Fantastic Similan Travel invites you to explore the inhabited archipelago and to visit the small fishing village of the Moken sea gypsies with original wooden huts and the nomadic sea culture.

Get picked up by van from your hotel in Krabi and head over to Haa Tanwa Beach Pier in Khao Lak. Meet the boat crew of Fantastic Similan Travel and enjoy a light breakfast before cruising by speed boat in less than 90 minutes to Surin Islands.

Make the first snorkel stop at Chong Khat Bay where you can also walk on the sandbar which connects the 2 Surin Islands in low tide. Continue to Koh Surin Tai to discover the natural way of life of the 150 Moken sea gypsies. The Chao Leh, which means 'The Sea People' in Thai, spend much of their lives on their boats, called 'kabang'. The Moken survive mainly through fish hunting and gathering of shellfish and other marine life from the reefs and mudflats.

Continue to Mai Ngam Beach for enjoying the beach life or some walking along the 2-km hiking trail. Then indulge in a delectable picnic lunch at the beach near the park ranger station to fuel your energy for the next snorkeling sites.

Make your way to Mae Yai Bay where you can swim on vibrant coral reefs and spot colourful fish hovering around their natural habitats in calm waters. The last snorkel stop will be either at Sapparod Bay or at Tao Bay depending on the sea conditions. Jump into the clean and clear turquoise waters brimming with magnificent underwater aqua life.

After a lovely time, it is time to say goodbye to Surin Islands and to return to the pier in Khao Lak. Enjoy some sweets and coffee before returning to your accommodation in Krabi with happy smiles and an amazing story to tell your friends.
