The National Park is open for tourists between the 1st of November and 30th of April every year.

Surin Islands
The origin of large and biologically diverse coral reefs in the shallows

The island’s geography acts as a barrier to the wind and waves in two seasons. Here, the oceanography, temperature, sunlight, and clear waters create an ideal environment for coral reefs to grow. Rich in plankton and sea creatures of all sizes, coral reefs flourish in the shallows here and support amazing biological diversity.
