Besides, in Koh Tao there are many&nbsp;<strong>Spanish-speaking schools<\/strong>which is ideal if you are not comfortable with English. Among the most recommended are&nbsp;<strong>La Bombona Diving (LBD)<\/strong>, <strong>Nitro and Pura Vida<\/strong>where the staff is professional and makes you feel safe underwater.

It is famous for the views from its viewpoint, which can be reached by climbing a few meters.&nbsp;<strong>200 steps<\/strong>. The entrance fee is&nbsp;<strong>200 baht for adults<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>100 baht for children<\/strong>You will also have to pay the cab boat round trip from Sairee, which is about 200 baht. Bring cash, as cards are not accepted on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-f1cb5e29 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Koh-Tao-17.jpg\" alt=\"Panoramic photo with drone of Koh nang yuan\" class=\"uag-image-5826\" width=\"675\" height=\"900\" title=\"Koh Tao-17\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator uagb-block-82678a26\"><div class=\"uagb-separator-spacing-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator__inner\" style=\"--my-background-image:\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The waters surrounding Koh Nang Yuan are ideal for snorkeling; you will see schools of fish, corals and, with some luck, reef sharks. Remember to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and go up to the lookout early to avoid the heat. The island prohibits carrying plastic bottles and cans to preserve the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-miradores-y-senderismo-en-koh-nbsp-tao\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miradores_y_senderismo_en_Koh_Tao\"><\/span>Viewpoints and hiking in Koh Tao<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Tao is not only beach and diving. If you like to hike, the viewpoints offer you&nbsp;<strong>incredible panoramic views<\/strong>&nbsp;of the island. Here are some of the most outstanding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>John-Suwan Viewpoint<\/strong>. For me, the most spectacular viewpoint of Koh Tao. It is located next to&nbsp;<strong>Freedom Beach<\/strong>and offers a 360-degree view of&nbsp;<strong>Chalok Bay<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Shark Bay<\/strong>. You have to climb between rocks and ropes, but it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. The entrance fee is&nbsp;<strong>100 baht<\/strong>&nbsp;and includes access to the resort's pool and beach. I recommend wearing sports shoes and avoid going up at sunset if you don't have a flashlight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Love Koh Tao<\/strong>. Located in the center of the island, this viewpoint-bar has spectacular views of&nbsp;<strong>Tanote Bay<\/strong>. The entrance fee is&nbsp;<strong>20 baht<\/strong>&nbsp;and it is discounted if you consume something. You can get there by motorcycle from Mae Haad in about 15 minutes. Tip: if you have no driving experience, leave the motorcycle at the entrance and walk up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mango Viewpoint<\/strong>. At the northern end of the island, this viewpoint is reached after a 15-20 minute hike. The entrance fee is&nbsp;<strong>100 baht<\/strong>&nbsp;and includes a drink. From there you can see Sairee Beach and the northern area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coconut Viewpoint<\/strong>. Another of my favorites, also to the north, has views of the west coast and a spectacular sunset. The ascent is a 15 - 20 minute hill; entrance costs&nbsp;<strong>10 baht<\/strong>&nbsp;and includes a bottle of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>West Coast Viewpoint<\/strong>. Located in the center of the island, it requires a 1.5 km walk, but the reward is unique views of Sairee Beach. The entrance fee is&nbsp;<strong>100 baht<\/strong>&nbsp;with beverage included.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sun Suwan 360\u00b0 View<\/strong>. To the south, this viewpoint offers views of Chalok and Shark Bay. The entrance fee is&nbsp;<strong>50 baht<\/strong>&nbsp;and they offer you a discount on drinks. It is a good place to watch the sunset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/railay-carlos.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos and his friend at the Coconut viewpoint with the island of koh tao and the sunset in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-5641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/railay-carlos.jpg 601w, https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/railay-carlos-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/railay-carlos-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/railay-carlos-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The viewpoints usually have steep paths; bring water, comfortable shoes and pay in cash. Some of them allow you to enter for free if you drink at the bar or if you access from the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-playas-para-relajarse\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Playas_para_relajarse\"><\/span>Beaches to relax<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the snorkeling bays, Koh Tao has beaches where you can lie down to read, practice yoga or just watch life go by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sairee Beach<\/strong>&nbsp;is the longest and most popular beach on the island, the heart of the nightlife. It is perfect for swimming and enjoying spectacular sunsets. In the late afternoon you will find bars with live music and fire shows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mae Haad<\/strong>&nbsp;is the beach where the port is located; it is quiet, perfect to have a coffee and watch the boats passing by.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chalok Baan Kao Bay<\/strong>&nbsp;is the third largest beach. It has shallow waters, so it is not the best for snorkeling, but it is the best place to relax and enjoy a fruit smoothie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freedom Beach<\/strong>&nbsp;is a small beach with shady trees. Near it begins the trail to the John-Suwan lookout. Entrance is included with your ticket to the lookout or by paying at the resort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Banana Rock<\/strong>It is my favorite place to watch the sunset and end the day with a beer.

Perfect for a cocktail at sunset. It has modern decoration, comfortable sofas and DJ sessions at sunset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fishbowl Beach Bar<\/strong>. If you are looking to party, this is your place. It has live music, DJs, happy hour and a young atmosphere.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lotus Beach Bar<\/strong>. With fire dancers and beanbags on the sand, it starts off quiet and turns into a party after dark.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LEO Evolution Club<\/strong>. The only proper club on the island; it combines barbecue at sunset with DJ music until late.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Local<\/strong>. If you like pubs with activities, here you will find trivia, karaoke or bingo nights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choppers Bar &amp; Grill<\/strong>.

There are five stages and fire shows. This is undoubtedly the most popular of the island.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To enjoy the night without mishaps, drink in moderation, take care of your belongings and respect the locals and the environment. In high season it is advisable to book accommodation in Sairee or Chalok in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-actividades-de-aventura-deporte-y-bienestar\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Actividades_de_aventura_deporte_y_bienestar\"><\/span>Adventure, sports and wellness activities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Tao also offers alternatives if you are looking for other types of leisure such as adrenaline or relaxation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Climbing and rappel<\/strong>. In the area of&nbsp;<strong>Tanote Bay<\/strong>&nbsp;and other parts of the island you will find rock walls perfect for climbing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kayaking, paddle surfing and wakeboarding<\/strong>. Many beaches rent boards and kayaks to ride along the coast. Paddle surfing at sunset in front of Banana Rock is an incredible experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thai cooking classes<\/strong>. Several schools teach how to prepare dishes such as the&nbsp;<strong>pad thai<\/strong>&nbsp;or the&nbsp;<strong>green curry<\/strong>a fun activity for a cloudy day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Welfare<\/strong>. After so many activities, a Thai massage in one of the island's spas will leave you feeling like new.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freediving and yoga<\/strong>. During my last stay, I met a yoga teacher, Oum, at the&nbsp;<strong>Sai Daeng Resort<\/strong>. She introduced me to the&nbsp;<strong>freediving<\/strong> (amnea) and we spent several days practicing breathing techniques, photographing fish and watching sunsets. This type of diving without tanks is becoming more and more popular in Koh Tao and honestly changed the way I communicate with the marine environment, practicing it you are able to establish a deeper connection with the sea. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-70bb95d3 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Koh-Tao-13.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos kayaking with Oum in Koh Tao\" class=\"uag-image-5819\" width=\"788\" height=\"900\" title=\"Kayaking Koh Tao\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator uagb-block-82678a26\"><div class=\"uagb-separator-spacing-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator__inner\" style=\"--my-background-image:\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#a9b89c5e\">\ud83d\udcf2 If your company does not include internet, you can buy a SIM card when you arrive in Thailand, but I recommend something even more convenient: Prepare a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/es\/?irclickid=W8e3wz2K-xycRBqW9gzSExvmUkpzoZze5QeezA0&amp;discount=MIRADASNOMADAS&amp;utm_source=affiliate&amp;utm_medium=Miradas%20Nomadas&amp;utm_campaign=5639396&amp;irgwc=1&amp;tw_source=impact&amp;tw_campaign=5639396&amp;tw_term=2006335\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Holafly eSIM with discount<\/a><\/strong> before your trip.

However, the roads have steep slopes and, even if they are paved, they are not recommended if you are not experienced. Take pictures of the scooter before renting it and avoid leaving your passport as a guarantee; better leave a deposit. In my case, I rented a scooter upon arrival at the port and in less than an hour I could cross the entire island; this freedom allows you to explore hidden beaches, buy fresh fruit and visit hidden places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-4a37bcf1 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Koh-Tao-14.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos&#039; motorcycle in Koh Tao\" class=\"uag-image-5820\" width=\"675\" height=\"900\" title=\"Koh Tao-14\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator uagb-block-82678a26\"><div class=\"uagb-separator-spacing-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator__inner\" style=\"--my-background-image:\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don't drive, there are cabs,&nbsp;<strong>songthaews<\/strong>&nbsp;(shared pick-ups) and long-tail boats.

Book early in high season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Documentation and money<\/strong>. Withdraw cash at ATMs and use <strong>commission-free cards such as N26<\/strong>. Exchange money at official exchange offices and keep your passport in a safe place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety at the wheel<\/strong>. Drive with a helmet and check your motorcycle before leaving. If you are inexperienced, hire a cab or a 4\u00d74 tour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel insurance<\/strong>. Don't forget to take out insurance with diving and water sports coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Health<\/strong>. Drink plenty of water, use sunscreen and repellent. Avoid alcohol before diving and do not fly until 18 hours after diving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Respect for the environment<\/strong>. Do not touch the corals or disturb the animals.

I was surprised at how easy it was to get around the island:&nbsp;<strong>by renting a motorcycle you can reach any point in less than an hour.<\/strong>and in a few days I knew the routes by heart. Every morning I bought fresh fruit at the market, sat down to write in my journal by the sea and then went out to explore new beaches with friends. One New Year's Eve I spent at school.&nbsp;<strong>La Bombona<\/strong>eating pizza and watching the fireworks reflecting on the water while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-65c4f5e8 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miradasnomadas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Koh-Tao-6.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos and his friend Rory eating Thai food at a local restaurant.\" class=\"uag-image-5812\" width=\"675\" height=\"900\" title=\"Koh Tao-6\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator uagb-block-4688f4a9\"><div class=\"uagb-separator-spacing-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator__inner\" style=\"--my-background-image:\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On my second trip I met<strong> Oum<\/strong>a local yoga teacher who used to work in the&nbsp;<strong>Sai Daeng Resort<\/strong>. She taught me the basics of&nbsp;<strong>freediving<\/strong>&nbsp;and spent several days freediving in crystal clear waters. We swam among turtles and fish, took underwater pictures and ended the day watching the sunset from the motorcycle or at a lookout point. Koh Tao not only gave me incredible memories, but also a sense of community: there were always friendly people to share a massage, a beer, a party or an impromptu adventure. I understood why so many travelers return again and again to this island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Tao is more than a diving destination. It is a&nbsp;<strong>island with soul<\/strong>where every day you can choose between enjoying its waters, walking to a viewpoint, practicing yoga or enjoying a party on the beach. Its size allows you to get to know it thoroughly in a few days, but its charm makes you want to stay for weeks. Plan your trip ahead of time, respect nature and let yourself be carried away by the energy of the&nbsp;<strong>TURTLE ISLAND<\/strong>. I am sure that, as it happened to me,&nbsp;<strong>Koh Tao will stay in your heart<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koh&nbsp;Tao, la peque\u00f1a&nbsp;isla de la
