- Activities in Koh Tao
Diving is one of the most popular activities in Koh Tao. If you don’t have 3 days for the Open Water course you can discover scuba diving in just one day. Read more about Koh Tao scuba diving. Already a certified diver? Join Mojo Divers for your next-level dive course, specialty or just fun dives. Questions? Feel free to contact us.
You can explore Koh Tao’s bays and coral reefs at your own pace and you can reach most of them very easily by scooter.
Feel like you need some physical activity? Why not rent a stand-up paddleboard or kayak? The sea conditions around Koh Tao make this ideal with low to zero waves and weak to mild currents around the island for most of the year. You can rent them from most of the beaches for 30 minutes or an hour or longer if you feel adventurous.
Being a small tropical island, Koh Tao has a lot of water-based activities available.
Once you have finished your scuba diving course there are many other activities in Koh Tao that you can do. Relax at one of the many great beaches such as Aow Leuk, Tanote Bay, Freedom Beach or Jansom Beach. You can work on your tan and read book. Unfortunately, you now have to pay to get to most beaches when access used to be free. But, all offer azure blue waters great for swimming or snorkeling. With beautiful surroundings and a place or two to eat or drink and relax. Not really activities in Koh Tao, but you are on holiday after all so why not enjoy.
Need something more adventurous? There is rock climbing, bouldering, abseiling, hiking trails and more. Plus snorkeling trips around the island, but diving is better.
If you are in to sport fishing they are a few boats that go far way from the dive sites. Just ask at your reception.
If you have the energy to burn why not practice yoga or work up a sweat at the Muay Thai Training Gym. They have regular fight nights each month where you can watch several fights of different weight categories. It makes for a great night out.
Fancy a real workout? Then try Koh Tao Crossfit, they have daily, weekly or monthly passes. It doesn’t matter if you have never done it before, they have coaches ready to help you. And there are 3 other different gyms that you can try.
Need something more relaxing for your activities in Koh Tao once you have finished diving? There is mini-golf, a small bowling alley, a mini cinema and lots of pool tables and beer pong tables .
Did I mention massages yet? There are loads of massage shops to rub away the stresses of travelling. Just walk down any street and you find them. They offer all types of massages, from relaxing oils to hard core Thai massage.
