Surin Islands 3 Days 2 Nights in a Tent or Bungalow (from Phuket or Khao Lak)
Three days is where the Surin Islands stop being a destination and become somewhere you are staying. The extra day buys the second morning, and the second morning is spent in a traditional longtail boat, working into bays the speedboats never enter: Pakkhad Bay, then Hin Kong and Ko Stork. Two nights in a tent or bungalow inside the national park.

Your Surin Islands 3 days 2 nights tour, day by day
A Surin Islands 3 day tour with two nights, the most complete option for anyone who really wants to switch off. On the first day snorkeling at the Chong Kad channel and a guided visit to the Moken village, lunch at the park, check-in to a tent or a bungalow and time to rest on Mai Ngam Beach, with the optional walk to Kra Ting Bay for the sunset. The second day is the finest: a long tail boat trip out to Pakkhad Bay, away from the tourist flow, and in the afternoon Hin Kong and Ko Stork, two outstanding sites for marine biodiversity. On the third day snorkeling from the shore in the morning and, after lunch, two last sessions at Bon Bay or Mae Yai Bay and at Pineapple Bay. Nine meals, equipment and transfers included.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell whether an excursion is right for me?
Every tour and activity is described in detail in your personalized itinerary. For each excursion you will find precise information on:
- Difficulty level: easy, moderate or demanding.
- Duration: from half a day to a full day.
- Requirements: minimum level of fitness, recommended age and accessibility.
Please also bear in mind that sea excursions by speedboat are usually not suitable for pregnant women or for people with heart or back problems. Travelers with disabilities should be accompanied by someone who can assist them when needed. If you have any doubts or specific requirements, your Travel Consultant is always at your disposal for personalized advice.
What happens in case of bad weather?
Safety is our priority. If weather conditions make an activity dangerous or inadvisable, the excursion will be:
- Rescheduled: we will try to move the activity to another day of your trip.
- Replaced: if rescheduling is not possible, we will offer an alternative activity of equal value.
- Refunded: if neither rescheduling nor replacement is possible, you receive a refund for the excursion you were unable to take. Bank and collection fees on online payments are not refundable.
Please remember that rain during the wet season rarely spoils an entire day. You will always be informed in advance of any changes.
What are the pick-up times?
Pickup is between 06:30 and 08:30 on day one, depending on where you are staying, with departure from Namkhem Marina at 09:00. You are back at the pier at about 17:30 on day three and driven to your hotel. The exact time for your hotel is confirmed in your final travel documents.
What should I bring with me on the excursions?
For every excursion we provide a list of recommended items. In general, we always suggest:
- Suitable clothing: a swimsuit under your clothes, something light to change into and comfortable shoes or sandals for walking on rock.
- Protection: hat, sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen.
- Hydration: water, especially on hot days.
- Vouchers and documents: where required, a copy (digital or printed) of your booking voucher.
Are meals or drinks included during the tours?
Yes, nine meals are included across the three days: breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and fruit, all from the national park canteen. There is nowhere else to eat on the island, so please tell us about any allergy, intolerance or vegetarian diet at the time of booking and we will arrange it with the park kitchen.
Can I cancel or change a single excursion?
Yes, but specific terms apply. Cancellation and amendment conditions vary from one activity to another.
You will find the exact details for each excursion in the Terms and Conditions attached to your quotation. If you need to make a change or a cancellation, please write to us at info@thailandfantastic.com as soon as possible.
Are young children and infants allowed?
Three days on a national park island, sleeping in a tent with shared bathrooms and traveling in an open longtail boat, is a lot to ask of a small child. It works well with teenagers who swim confidently. Tell us the exact age of everyone traveling and we will say whether we would recommend it.
