Ko Tao Honeymoon, Thailand
The pristine, jungle-clad and mountainous island of Ko Tao is surrounded by spectacular coral reefs and is renowned for its superb diving conditions.
Things to do and see
With hardly any currents, great visibility, numerous dive sites and abundant marine life, Ko Tao is a great place to learn to dive, with several dive centres offering PADI open water diving courses.
Enjoy a cool drink at a beachside bar on the west-facing beach of Hat Sairee, a narrow, palm-fringed crescent of white sand that is perfect for sunbathing and swimming in the translucent aquamarine water.
Explore the bay’s rocky headlands by kayak and paddle to the nearby scenic islet of Ko Nang Yuan. Inland, hike rainforest trails to Ko Tao's highest peak, ‘Two Views’, located in the middle of the island and offering panoramic views overlooking Sairee Bay to the west and Tanote Bay to the east.
Or choose from several other activities, including sailing, rock climbing, abseiling, cliff jumping and even paint-ball games. For an insight into local culture, sign up for a Thai massage and cooking course.
Accommodation
Ko Tao offers a wide range of beachside accommodation to suit all budgets, including the Koh Tao Montra Resort & Spa on Hat Sairee and Jamahkiri Spa Resort at Roxky Bay. |
