Explora Islas Surin: Excursión de un día de snorkel desde Phuket

The crew of our boat, with Moana as the host, was fantastic!! They did a great job all day! What an awesome experience- hotel pick up, 3 meals, snacks and really cool snorkeling 🤿

Well organized. Knowledgeable and fun guides. Moana is a star! We visited an incredibly beautiful paradise beach and three fantastic places to snorkel with very beautiful to see! Really like swimming in an aquarium! Highly recommended!

I visited the Surin Islands from Phuket on 2nd January with SeaTrip while the excursion is sold here from an agency. The best part of the excursion was the snorkeling and the beauty of the places. The water was clear and I saw many colorful fish and corals. The islands were stunning and peaceful. However, I was very disappointed by some aspects of the excursion. First of all, the excursion was advertised as a small group of 15 people(is what I paid), but in reality there were more than 40 people on the boat. It felt crowded and noisy. Second, the price was too high for the offer. I paid 125 euros x pers, while I saw other excursions on Viator with the same company for 80 euros(also other italians on the boat told me they paid 80). I felt cheated and overcharged. Third, the driver was late for more than 20 minutes, which made us lose time and patience. Fourth, we spent more time in the car than on the islands. The road was long and bumpy, and we only had a few hours to enjoy the islands. Fifth, one of the snorkeling spots had a very strong current, which made it hard to swim and see anything. It was not enjoyable at all. Also the program changed as the excursion initiated 1 hour later as advertised. Overall, I would not recommend this excursion to anyone. It was not worth the money or the time. There are better options to visit the Surin Islands from Phuket. As a final overall consideration I find asking for tips so brazenly very inelegant.

Really enjoyed this trip. 3 snorkeling stops where we saw loads of beautiful fish. Also visited 2 beaches and had lunch at one of them. When back on the boat we were continually provided with drinks (water or Coke) and lots of fruit. Crew were so informative and cheerful. Bonus of trip was that the captain spotted a whale on the trip back to the pier. He stopped the boat so that we could all see if the whale resurfaced. After a few minutes it did and we now have a lovely memory of seeing a Beluga Whale in its natural habitat. Wonderful. Tip: this trip can be purchased at many tour stalls and shops and will be hugely discounted from the price shown on the pamphlet and the price quoted by hotel / or your holiday company. Shop around. We paid £50 less than the pamphlet price.

The organization of the trip to the Surin Islands was top. I settled on Koh Phayam for Mr. Trip decided. Boat, crew and food were great. We made four snorkel stops. Three of them were terrifying. A stop showed how it certainly looked some time ago everywhere. Almost all the corals are dead. The diversity of fish species is therefore limited. On request, we received the information that the currents were too warm in many places for too long and therefore the corals died. In addition, fishing nets that have passed through the corals are often found. I'm very sorry to say this, but anyone who knows about good snorkeling spots will be very sad. No, I would not Enterprise another trip to the Surin Islands anytime soon.

After half an hour by van from Khao Lak we arrived at the port and got a small breakfast. Then I took the speedboat to the Surin Islands. The snorkel stops were incredibly beautiful, 2 x half an hour. Then visit the Moken with their newly built village. For lunch we went to the main island, the food was plentiful and delicious. After that there was another snorkel stop which was the absolute highlight, a dive into another world, incredibly beautiful.

When the tsunami hit Khao Lak and Surin Island on December 25, 2004, the Moken had a seventh sense and fled early to the mountains of Surin. All 150 residents of Surin survived the natural event. Their houses were razed to the ground. Today 15 years later, all the Moken wooden cabins burned down, three weeks ago. Since then, the locals have been rebuilding all the huts and the beach is closed for viewing. Some mokes come to the main beach to sell homemade bracelets to holidaymakers. The food here is super delicious and provided with a lot of fish. Surin is definitely worth an n detour. From Khao Lak by bus 30min. To the port. With the 750 hp speedboat about 1.5 hours to Surin. Good for snorkeling but lots of coral cemeteries to watch, little big fish, no snails, maybe turtles.

This tour is the most beautiful in Tahiland We did three dives. Every time we saw wonders. Fish of all colors of all sizes .of corals .of Nemo in their anemones . And besides practically no tourists Then we met the mokens of the villagers living on this island The island is also populated by monkeys
