Enjoy a Surin Islands snorkeling day trip by fast shared speedboat from Khuraburi Pier during high season from 15th October until 15th May
Koh Surin National Marine Park rates as one of Thailand's prime island locations. 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 entire Surin archepelago covers a region greater than 320 kmĀ² and includes the picturesque island of Koh Tachai and sublime scuba diving at Richelieu Rock where the large pelagic favourites, Manta Rays and Whale Sharks, are often sighted.
The Marine Park headquarters are situated on the North island. They are tastefully designed, blending with the surroundings. Thankfully the National Park has not pushed the development of the island too far. Visitors can stay on the island and sleep at the camp site or in one of the bungalows.
Season 2024/2025: Bungalows now available as part of Surin Islands 3d2n Snorkeling Tour or Surin Islands 2 Day 1 night Trip.
All our Surin Islands snorkeling trips depart from Khuraburi pier. Transfer is included between Khuraburi Town and Khuraburi Pier.

Panich (the owner) speaks excellent English and will reserve a room for you without advance payment. He is willing to provide you with any assistance that you may require including motorcycles for rent and ordering bus tickets. A true Khuraburi original, he can give you the lowdown on local events and give you impartial advice on where to go and what to see.
Situated only 100m from Kuraburi bus station and close to local amenities, Boon Piya is the ideal stopover for those on Surin Islands snorkeling trips. It is great value at only 750Bt+ a night per bungalow.
Transfers are included between Khuraburi Town/Bus Station to Khuraburi Pier before and after Surin Islands trips. Khao Lak transfers are available for an additional charge.
Khuraburi is a small market town and there are several places to stay. We recommend Boon Piya Resort which is available to reserve by phone or SMS. Please see number above.
Khao Lak is also a popular option with visitors as there is a large variety of accommodation available for all budgets. The main difference is the transfer time/cost between Khao Lak and Khuraburi Pier is 1 - 1 1/2 hours so this means an earlier departure from your hotel in the morning.
