The Surin Islands National Park is a paradise for snorkeling, diving, and experiencing Thailand’s vibrant marine life. With stunning coral reefs, clear turquoise waters, and the fascinating culture of the Moken sea gypsies, the Surin Islands are rightfully considered one of the world’s top destinations for underwater exploration. But with this beauty comes popularity, and standard tours can feel crowded and rushed.
At Discovery Travel, we’re changing the game. As the only tour operator offering private longtail boat tours to the Surin Islands as a standard experience, we allow you to explore this remarkable destination at your own pace—free from large groups or the high costs of private speedboat charters. Here’s how our exclusive private tour makes your trip to the Surin Islands unforgettable.
