My wife and I and two kids - 10 and 12 loved this trip. Due to the Covid situation I had had to be in touch with Chris Williams long before we arrived and his prompt replies and advice was essential in helping us decide to come (3 of us had recently recovered from covid- the rules at the time were pretty vague re acceptable PCR CT scores).
Re the travel, it's a bit of a trek from South Khao Lak (about 1 hour and a half from The Sands Khao Lak to the pier but absolutely worth it), On the boat Ai, the English speaking guide, couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Likewise Abdul, the island rep Ai handed us over to.
Re the bungalow, the pictures don't do them justice - they are magical. Also you can get an extra camping mat and pillow if you need it. DO stay at least a night: once the day trippers have left, it feels like you've got the islands almost to yourselves. It's really amazing.
Re the snorkelling, I'm no expert but the coral seemed to be in pretty good shape and every dive I saw a type of fish which I hadn't seen before. We were so close to them too. I've done a few snorkelling trips and this was the best.
Re the price, at 40 baht to the pound I worked out for the 4 of us it was £155 per person for 1 night 2 days. Considering the e-mail exchanges between Chris and I, distances involved, the food, the organisation, the English-speaking guides, the bungalow and snorkelling experiences, I think that's a very reasonable price. I believe the prices are going up slightly because of fuel costs but I'd still do this trip if I were you.

Wij zijn zojuist terug gekeerd uit Thailand en hebben een geweldige tijd gehad op de Surin Eilanden. Helaas ben ik mijn bril tijdens de terugreis verloren. Na telefonisch contact te hebben gezocht met Christofher, heeft hij alles in het werk gezet om te achterhalen of de bril ergens gevonden is. Na enkele uren belde hij mij met de mededeling dat de bril terecht was en hij bood aan om deze door een van de chauffeurs bij ons hotel te laten bezorgen. Wat een service en dit heeft de laatste week van onze vakantie gered, aangezien ik door een oogontsteking mijn contactlenzen niet kon dragen. Christopfer: super bedankt en mijn vrouw en ik wensen je heel veel succes!! De Surin eilanden zijn geweldig!!! Johan en Irma

Christopher Williams was very helpful, thoughtful and on the ball when it came to organising our three day trip to the lovely unspoilt islands - great snorkelling. He will look after you with any wide ranging advice on Thailand. All good!

Absolutely amazing experience in the Surin islands (2n3d) from the start. We booked the trip through Blue Guru and the informing was exceptionally profound. We had the detailed info before the trip and they aswered to any questions very quickly by e-mail.
The trip itself was also excellent. Everything was very well organized, staff was very friendly and took a good care of their customers. Food was great. Place is gorgeous (both above and beneath the sea level). I highly recommend to choose Blue Guru if you’re planning a trip to Surin Islands. Thank you so much!

We contacted Christopher Williams after a friend had done a similar trip to the Surin Islands a few months ago (overnight stay and snorkelling trip to the National Park).
We had never been before but Christopher Williams and the Team at Blue Guru guided us perfectly through the booking procedure will all the information we needed in a clear and easy to follow format. This was all done in the UK prior to even arriving in Thailand and meant we had zero worry or stress about the trip. Emails were answered so promptly and politely I can honestly say that many companies could learn Customer Service from Blue Guru!
The two days were a delight and we would definitely reccommended Blue Guru to friends and family. Thank you so much for helping us create some fantastic memories.

Everything was going smooth.
Booking, paying, pick up at hotel, snorking, dropping at hotel at the end, everything was arranged well.

We had a wonderful time at the Surin Islands and Blue Guru provided an amazing experience. I booked everything through Christopher Williams at Blue Guru and he could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The snorkeling was extraordinary. 10/10 experience. If you are visiting Thailand, the Surin Islands is a must and I would 100% book through Blue Guru.

This is our second trip with Blue Guru! We also went last year and were so impressed by the company. They plan everything in advance and keep you informed on any details! The snorkeling itself was amazing! We stayed for two nights at the island and had 9 trips to different reefs. Clear waters and abundant amount of fish! We even saw octopus and barracuda . The stay at the island is very pleasant. By three o’clock all the day tourists are gone. Food is good!! Highly recommended!!!

It is always lovely to welcome back happy guests - we have several couples and families who return year after year. We are pleased you find all the advance planning, organisation and communication helpful. Glad you also enjoy the snorkelling, marine life and quiet evenings in Surin National Park. We look forward to your third visit!

I'm going to Phuket next week & I was wondering if I could take a snorkeling or diving tour to the Similn islands, that leaves from Patong. Also, is it possible to see sharks, sea turtles & whale sharks, & other sea animals besides fish while snorkeling? Or it's only through diving where you can see sea animals besides fish?

All diving liveaboards to Similan Islands depart from Khao Lak (about 1 hour north of Phuket airport) - see Blue Guru's liveaboard webpage for itinerary options. You may see turtles whilst snorkelling. Sharks are usually seen more when diving. Whale sharks & manta rays are rare but this is the best time of year to spot them. If you want to increase your chances of seeing them, you should join a dive trip including Richelieu Rock, Tachai & Koh Bon. If you just want to snorkel, then you could consider a 3d2n snorkelling trip to Surin Islands where there are potential chances seeing juvenile blacktip reef sharks and hawksbill & green turtles. Details can be seen on Blue Guru's snorkelling webpage. Of course, do bear in mind that no marine life sightings can be guaranteed, as trips are in nature not an aquarium.

We'd like to dive with Blue Guru but we can only find liveaboard trips on the website. Do you do day trips from Koh Pra Thong?

Blue Guru can no longer offer diving day trips from Koh Phra Thong because the new owner of Horizon Eco Resort stole their dive centre buildings. They can however still arrange diving packages including a liveaboard trip, transfers and accommodation at the superior Moken Resort on Koh Phra Thong. Submit an enquiry via the liveaboard page of the website for a tailor-made package.

We are considering staying at the Nangthong Bay Resort and want to go snorkeling. Are you close to this resort? Do you take folks snorkeling? All the reviews only mentioned diving. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Blue Guru Diving has snorkelling packages too -- check their website. My husband doesn't dive so when we go on their offshore trips, I sometimes do a combination snorkel + package trip so I can spend time underwater with my husband too.
Nangthong Bay Resort isn't near Blue Guru Diving unfortunately.
