Things to do on Koh Tao

Activities for non-divers

Koh Tao Thailand has become popular as a result of our fantastic scuba diving. Clear, warm tropical water, spectacular coral and amazing marine life make the diving a must see. We highly recommend diving Koh Tao - if you come here and don't dive you're missing out!

But scuba diving isn't the only thing that goes on here. On those non-diving days or for people that don't dive, there are still many things to do on Koh Tao. Here are some ideas:

Water activities - Snorkeling and Kayak Thailand Being a small island, there's obviously a large offering of water based activities available. Daily round the island snorkeling tours or chartering a longtail taxi boat is a great way to experience our coral reefs. If you like to Kayak Thailand has a lot to offer. Kayaks are available for rent on most of Koh Tao's beaches, and there are also a couple of operators offering sailing tours [Island Cruises and MV watersports]. Free diving is becoming popular [Apnea Total] plus you can also enjoy wakeboarding.

Sporting and adventure activities - Climbing Koh Tao A great new company offering a mix of adventurous activities on Turtle Island, is 'Good Time Adventures'. The guys offer rock climbing Koh Tao, cliff jumping, trekking and more, in multi-adventure day packages. If you prefer to do your own thing you could rent a mountain bike or ATV to explore the island, or simply hike up to one of the island's spectacular viewpoints. Koh Tao has a western gyn [Monsoon Gym] and Muay Thai Boxing stadium where you can take Thai boxing classes. Plus we have a paintball field, mini-golf and island style bowling alley.

Thai culture and relaxing activities If you prefer to take it easy, the most obvious thing is to enjoy the great Koh Tao beaches, such as Sairee Beach Thailand, Aow Leuk or Tanote Bay. There are many spots to enjoy a traditional Thai massage or even head to one of Koh Tao's upmarket spas to treat yourself. Thai cooking classes are available, and there are a number of people teaching yoga on the island.
