• This unique adventure in learning begins with a morning airport pickup at Phuket International Airport. (Students arriving by overnight bus from Bangkok can be picked up in Kuraburi to save considerable time in travel this day).

• It’s a 3-hour drive from Phuket to Kuraburi pier where we board our charter boat for the beautiful cruise to Koh Surin – homeland of the Moken. During the voyage students may spot flying fish, dolphins, whales and several species of terns. We will cruise right over Richeau Rock, one of the best dive sites in the world to see giant manta rays and the world’s largest fish – the whale shark!

• Landing at Koh Surin after several hours at sea, our Moken guides will be there to greet us and transfer us to our tent camp on a beautiful crescent beach that is part of Koh Surin National Park. Following a delicious lunch, we set off by boat to snorkel at some nearby dive sites with our Moken guides who will show us many of the reef species they harvest as part of their daily diet.

• Back at camp, we too will enjoy a fresh seafood dinner, games on the beach and a candle ‘sharing circle’ under the stars where everyone can share tales of their day’s adventures.
