The Surin Islands offer by far the best snorkeling reefs in Thailand. Due to their remote location, the Surins are not as crowded as the very popular Similans. If you are looking for reefs and good snorkeling – this is definitely the tour to do!

The reefs are healthy, sheltered and offer snorkel fun for every age.

Mangrove Tour

The first part of the boat journey takes you through the mainland mangroves behind the island of Koh Kho Khao. Protected from waves this is not only the most comfortable speedboat route in our area – the landscape you will see is spectacular, nearly unpopulated and rarely visited.

This part of the journey takes you also way back into Thailands history, so we will give you in depth information about this interesting area and it’s nature as we go along the way.

Snorkeling

The three snorkeling stops are the main attraction of this tour, so we do our best to choose the reefs with the best conditions on a daily basis. We also want to give you enough time for snorkeling, so every day is planned a bit differently according to the tides – we want to give you at least one snorkeling stop without a strict time limit.

The shallow reefs consist mainly of hard corals – you will find big clams, sea stars colorful reef fish, like the famous Nemo Clownfish. We regularly encounter – absolute harmless but beautiful – reef sharks, Barracudas, sea snakes, Octopus and if you are lucky, sea turtles.

Weather & Sea Conditions

Between November and January – especially around Christmas and New Years – steady northerly winds regularly create short bumpy waves, which can make parts of the boat rides uncomfortable. Although this does not affect the safety of the boat rides, we can not guarantee enjoyable boat rides to every individual on every given day. We experienced a wide range of individual guest reactions to these conditions. As the Family Tour and Koh Kam tour do not require the speedboat to leave sheltered waters at any time, this does apply to all tours except Family Tour and Koh Kam tours.

From February on weather and sea conditions are usually very calm and comfortable.

Medical Advice

Individuals with the following medical conditions are excluded from this speedboat tour:

  • Back Issues
  • Heart Issues & Diseases
  • Pregnancy
  • Epilepsy

Please be advised that this is a safety regulation by the Thai Department for National Parks and there is no insurance cover for individuals with these conditions whatsoever on speedboat tours!

How Bookings Work

To enquire or book, the best way is to just use this contact form here. Next to your name, nationality and amount of guests, we need the name of your hotel – and your room number once you checked in. During your stay in Khao Lak your hotel and room number is like an ID for every operator and driver through which we can easily identify you and get in touch with you. Hint: if you have booked your tour well in advance and don’t know your room number until check-in – just show your E-Voucher to your hotel staff after check-in and ask them to inform us about your current room number for our pickup roster.

The final confirmation of your booking via email will mention “Confirmation: date, destination, amount of guests” in the subject of our confirmation email, as well as include an E-Voucher PDF attached. If you have a mobile device, you don’t need to print this E-Voucher, just show it to the driver and to us at the pier on your phone.

Payment

If your tour date is later than one week from the date of confirmation, we need a 30% deposit via PayPal, cash or bank transfer. If you are lucky enough to get a space on a tour within the next five days, you can often pay the full amount on departure day with cash or card at the pier. Any balance payment is also to be made at the pier before departure.

Cancellation Policy

Until 24 h before tour departure you can cancel your tour anytime via email or phone call. If you don’t have any means of communication, just show the E-Voucher to your hotel reception and ask them to cancel the tour for you.

Cancellations within 24 hours of tour departure require a 50% payment of the tour price!

Note that if you do not show up on the tour day, there is a 100 % charge as we already prepared the tour for you!
