Private Journeys in Koh Tao
The Essence of Koh Tao
Suggestions for Exploring Koh Tao: Visit the island’s world-class snorkeling and scuba diving spots.
The lesser visited island of Koh Tao is a diver’s paradise. Just a few miles from its more famous neighbour, Koh Pha Ngan, the island is small in comparison to many other Thai islands, and whilst accommodation options are still relatively limited, a new breed of upmarket/boutique guesthouse is appearing, providing a very comfortable standard of accommodation for visitors who’d rather break away from the backpacker set!
Thailand Koh Tao Travel Guide
For clients wishing to enjoy a few day’s diving, rather than just a day-dive closer to Koh Samui, then a few nights staying either on Koh Tao or offshore is a very worthwhile option.
We can arrange a variety of dive packages on Khao Tao (and elsewhere in Thailand), so please speak to one of our diving experts about the best option for you.
