Koh Tao

Koh Tao (means turtle island) is a small beautiful island not far from the world famous island of koh Samui. This small tropical island features some of the best snorkelling and diving in Thailand. The beautiful beaches are edged with swaying palm trees. Normally when you read a description like this, you know its the holiday company inflating the description. NOT THIS TIME WE SAY!! Koh Tao is really as you see it in the picture.

While scuba diving is the main activity on Koh Tao you can go also do water skiing, wake boarding, kayaking, banana boat rides, even sailing lessons. On land you can go trekking, mountain biking or free climbing. There is island style bowling, petonque (boules) and croquet. It's a nice idea to charter an inexpensive boat for a tailor made trip around the island or islands go snorkelling in one of the many bays and getting a first glimpse of the spectacular underwater world or visit the neighbouring little island Nangyuan, with its unique triple connecting beach.
If you find you need to get rid of those exess pounds or want to keep in shape, workout at the fully equipped open air gym, take Thai boxing lessons or join the fight club. Explore the sights and heights on foot. It's worth all the effort to get there.

After all these activities why not relax and unwind with a traditional Thai massage, its something you should not miss out. It will relieve your strained body and revive your spirit. A herbal steam bath will add to your well-being and cleanse your tired skin.

Why not develop your inner strength and heal body, mind and spirit? There is Tai Chi, Chi Gong and Yoga, Reiki, Foot Refelexology, all practised and taught. Turtle Island has a lot to offer for non-divers after all.
