What are the Surin Islands?
Koh Surin National Marine Park rates as one of Thailand's prime island locations. The two main islands Koh Surin Nua and Koh Surin Tai form the bulk of the land mass. The other 3 satellite islands both enhance the overground vistas and provide supplementary fringing reef.
Why the Surin Islands?
The Surin Islands has the best snorkeling and some of the finest diving in Thailand. A fringing hard coral reef runs along the entire eastern edge of the islands whilst the western side has numerous boulder sites. Koh Surin has the greatest diversity of hard corals in the country.
Where are the Surin Islands?
The Surin Islands are approximately 54km west off the Andaman coast of Thailand. They are 550 km south of Bangkok and 150 km north of Phuket. The Marine Park covers an area of almost 140 km² stretching up to within 10 km of the Burmese (Myanmar) - Thai border.
Nature on the Surin Islands
The Surin Marine Park is a shining example of natural beauty. It plays host to vast range of flora & fauna on the land and in the sea including
90 species of birds
200 species of coral
1000 species of fish

Luxury dive cruiser 'Chandida'
'Chandida' is the only fast scuba diving cruiser in the region. Her superior size allows Blue Guru divers the luxury of a calm ride with ample space to rest & relax in the air conditioned saloon or chat with other guests upstairs on the deck.
Exclusive diving & snorkeling
'Chandida' is also the only day trip diving vessel going to the Surin Islands. Snorkelers & divers on the trip get to visit exclusive sites where there is invariably nobody else around except us. This means that you get to enjoy a peaceful diving or snorkeling experience where there are no crowds to spoil the view.
Surin by speedboat
Blue Guru offer a daily snorkeling service to the Surin Islands by speedboat. The trip takes just over an hour and will take you to the premium snorkeling spots. There is also the opportunity to go onto the Islands and investigate the National Park further.
Snorkeling only
The speedboat service is for snorkelers only so a group of divers & snorkelers are advised to join 'Chandida' to enjoy the day out together. The other main difference is that although the speedboat travels faster than the cruiser there is less room to move about & relax.
