Discover Similan and Surin Islands: A 2-Day, 1-Night Eco Adventure into Thailand’s Most Pristine Marine National Parks

Just off the calm shores of Khao Lak, stretching into the quiet waters of the Andaman Sea, lie two of Thailand’s most treasured island groups: the Similan Islands and the Surin Islands. Both are fiercely protected marine national parks, untouched by development, offering a 100% raw and natural experience.

While both archipelagos are breathtaking, they each hold unique charms:

• Surin Islands boast greater coral reef diversity and richer marine life—perfect for snorkeling or diving among vibrant underwater ecosystems.
• Similan Islands, on the other hand, are known for their softer, whiter sand and clearer turquoise waters, making them ideal for swimming, beach exploration, and photography.

Yet what they share is a natural beauty that captivates anyone who visits. Dozens of hidden bays, untouched coves, and crystal-clear lagoons are waiting to be explored—no crowds, no concrete, just pure island paradise.

So which island should you visit?

With JC Tour’s exclusive 2-day, 1-night combo package, you don’t have to choose. We've designed this eco-friendly trip to give you immersive access to both the Similan and Surin Islands in one unforgettable journey. You’ll experience the best of Thailand’s protected marine parks in a way that’s responsible, enriching, and deeply connected to nature.

Similan Archipelagoes

The Similan Islands consist of nine breathtaking islands, but most day trips focus on five of the most stunning: Island 4 (Koh Miang), Island 5, Island 6, Island 8 (Koh Similan), and Island 9 (Koh Ba Ngu). Carefully chosen for their picture-perfect beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, these islands deliver the ultimate tropical escape. Whether you're a snorkeling enthusiast, a nature photographer, or just craving pure tranquility, this one-day tour lets you explore the heart of the Similan archipelago in a single, unforgettable journey.

Imagine stepping onto sand so white it looks like sugar, diving into waters so clear you can see every fish flicker beneath you, and gazing at granite boulders sculpted by time and tide. Protected by Thailand’s National Park system, the Similan Islands remain untouched and wild—offering a raw, immersive experience with nature at its most beautiful. Perfect for those searching for Similan Islands day trips, best snorkeling in Thailand, or a dream beach getaway, this adventure is your chance to walk through a living postcard.

Surin Archipelago: Suthep Bay and Mogen Village.

The Surin Archipelago is made up of five closely clustered islands, yet it offers an abundance of stunning beaches and quiet bays. Among the many highlights, two standout spots should not be missed. First is Suthep Bay, one of the richest shallow dive sites in Thailand. Calm waters make it perfect for snorkeling, revealing a vibrant mix of hard corals, soft corals, anemones, tropical fish, and a diverse range of marine life. This spot is ideal for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike.

The second must-see is the Sea Gypsy Village, home to the Moken people, also known as Sea Nomads. This rare cultural experience lets you step into a way of life that’s completely different from mainland Thailand. You'll visit the village, learn about their seafaring traditions, and see how these ocean-based communities live in harmony with nature—a truly eye-opening experience that adds depth to your island adventure.

Chong-Kart Bay and Mai Ngam Cape: Surin Island

Two more unmissable stops on the JC Tour itinerary are Chong Kad Bay and Mai Ngam Bay. Chong Kad Bay is a scenic stretch of beach nestled between two close-knit islands, where a narrow sea channel flows gently between them. It's the perfect place to relax, sunbathe, and swim after enjoying a freshly prepared lunch by the beach. The soft sand and calm waters make it one of the most tranquil spots in the Surin Islands.

At the far end of Mai Ngam Bay, you’ll find a shallow snorkeling hotspot that’s both fun and family-friendly. This reef is known for its playful clownfish (Nemo) living among vibrant sea anemones, offering a close-up look at marine life in calm, crystal-clear waters. Guaranteed—you’ll see it with your own eyes.
