Similan and Surin Islands
Package 3 Days Overnight Khaolak and Surin Island.
Why Visit Both the Similan and Surin Islands?
The Similan Islands and Surin Islands are two of the most stunning archipelagos in Thailand’s Andaman Sea, both located off the coast of Phang Nga Province. The Similan Archipelago features 9 islands known for crystal-clear waters and iconic boulder landscapes, while the Surin Archipelago includes 5 islands famous for their rich coral reefs and abundant marine life. Although they lie along the same stretch of sea, it's physically impossible to visit both on the same day due to the travel distance — making most travelers choose one over the other.
The Problem: Choosing Between Two Paradises
Similan offers postcard-perfect clarity, ideal for scenic beach lovers and underwater photographers. However, during the high season, its waters can be too clear for spotting larger marine creatures, which tend to retreat into deeper zones. Surin, on the other hand, boasts some of Thailand's healthiest coral reefs, large schools of tropical fish, and frequent sightings of sea turtles — making it a top destination for snorkeling and marine wildlife encounters. The problem? Each island group has unique strengths, and choosing just one often leaves travelers with a serious case of FOMO.
The Solution: A Smart Package That Covers Both
JC Tour created the perfect solution — a combo tour that lets you experience both the Similan and Surin Islands in one seamless itinerary. This package allows you to explore the best snorkeling sites at Similan on day one, followed by an overnight stay at Surin Island, giving you immersive access to its natural beauty. By combining both destinations in one trip, you no longer have to choose between them. You get the full Andaman experience — vibrant coral reefs, clear waters, local culture, and unforgettable marine encounters — all in a time-efficient and cost-effective way.

Nature on Similan Archipelago
The Similan Islands boast a remarkably well-preserved ecosystem, both above and below the surface. Beyond the beaches, you might spot unexpected wildlife like monkeys, dusky langurs, mouse deer, flying lemurs (colugos), reptiles, and a wide range of colorful birds. Some islands also feature short nature trails that wind through dense tropical forest, connecting one beach to another — offering a refreshing contrast to the vibrant underwater world.
There’s something deeply calming about lying beneath tree shade on soft, white sand, with the salty breeze of the Andaman Sea gently rolling in. The horizon stretches endlessly in shades of crystal blue, creating a peace that’s hard to put into words. This blend of untouched nature, diverse wildlife, and tranquil scenery is what makes the Similan Islands a destination you’ll never forget.
Similan remains untouched by time.
The Similan Islands are made up of nine breathtaking islands, but most one-day tours focus on five of the most spectacular: Island 4 (Koh Miang), Island 5, Island 6, Island 8 (Koh Similan), and Island 9 (Koh Ba Ngu). These spots are handpicked for their powder-soft beaches, vibrant coral gardens, and unbelievably clear turquoise waters. Whether you’re an avid snorkeler, a wildlife photographer, or simply in search of peace and beauty, this day trip lets you experience the very best of the Similan archipelago in a single unforgettable adventure.
Picture yourself stepping onto blinding white sand, diving into crystal water where every flick of a fish’s tail is visible, and standing in awe before ancient granite boulders shaped by wind and sea. Protected under Thailand’s National Park system, the Similan Islands remain raw and pristine — a true haven for nature lovers. For anyone looking for the best snorkeling in Thailand, a perfect Similan Islands day tour, or a once-in-a-lifetime beach escape, this journey offers a front-row seat to one of the most stunning seascapes on Earth.
Surin Archipelago: Suthep Bay and Mogen Village.
The Surin Archipelago, made up of five closely grouped islands, offers a surprising wealth of serene beaches and sheltered bays. Among its many natural wonders, two highlights stand out. The first is Suthep Bay — one of Thailand’s richest shallow-water snorkeling sites. With calm, clear waters, it’s perfect for all skill levels, revealing an underwater world filled with hard and soft corals, sea anemones, colorful reef fish, and a wide range of marine life.
The second highlight is the Sea Gypsy Village, home to the Moken people, often called the Sea Nomads. This rare cultural encounter offers a glimpse into a way of life unlike anything on the mainland. Visiting the village, you’ll learn about their deep connection to the sea, their nomadic traditions, and how they live in harmony with nature. It’s a powerful experience that adds meaning and perspective to your island journey.
Chong-Kart Bay and Mai Ngam Cape: Surin Island
Two more must-visit stops on the JC Tour itinerary are Chong Kad Bay and Mai Ngam Bay. Chong Kad Bay is a peaceful beach tucked between two closely situated islands, with a narrow sea channel gently running between them. After a freshly prepared beachfront lunch, it’s the perfect place to unwind—whether you're sunbathing on soft sand, taking a leisurely swim, or simply soaking in the calm surroundings. This spot is one of the most serene corners of the Surin Islands.
At the far end of Mai Ngam Bay lies a shallow reef ideal for easy, family-friendly snorkeling. Known for its lively population of clownfish (Nemo) nestled in colorful sea anemones, this spot offers an up-close look at marine life in safe, crystal-clear waters. It's an underwater moment you won’t need to imagine—you’ll see it for yourself.
World of Anemone at Surin Islands
Clownfish—often lovingly called “Nemo”—along with various species of sea anemones and soft corals, all belong to a fascinating marine community known as anemone ecosystems. These vibrant, interactive creatures are favorites among people of all ages, and many dream of seeing them up close without the need for deep diving.
Our expert trip designers have carefully selected shallow snorkeling spots where you can observe clownfish and anemones at arm’s reach—no diving license required (but please, look—don’t touch). This experience invites you to watch, learn, and connect with the delicate underwater world of the Surin Islands. It’s a rare opportunity to let your imagination run free while creating vivid, lasting memories beneath the sea.
Koh Stock, Jack Bay, and Sai-En Bay: Surin Archipelago
Koh Stock, Jack Bay, and Sai-En Bay are hidden gems—remote corners of the Surin Islands untouched by mass tourism, as if they've slipped off the map entirely. There are no early-morning tour boats here, no beachfront cafés, only rare stillness and an untouched marine ecosystem thriving beneath the surface. With pristine coral reefs, diverse fish species, and a natural balance left undisturbed by human hands, these locations are havens for true nature explorers seeking something beyond the ordinary.
For those who long for more than postcard-perfect scenery, this is your chance to enter nature, not just observe it. There’s no trash, no disruption—only the quiet presence of your eyes, mind, and heart, open to every rhythm of life around you. The thrill here isn’t just spotting a rare fish or navigating a maze of coral—it’s experiencing the ocean exactly as it was meant to be: pure, whole, and full of stories waiting to be heard, not altered.
