Koh Tao (Turtle Island)

Koh Tao is the most popular island for divers far and wide. The deep water around (around 30m mark) ensures exceptionally good visibility and a rich range of marine life, including turtles, which is why there feels like there are more dive schools than bars on this island.

The longest and most developed beach on the island with a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, diving centers and bars is Sairee Beach. But there are nicer beaches, a bit hidden but easily accessible with a private yacht.

Nang Yuan

Situated just a few 100 meters off Koh Taos north west coast, Koh Nang Yuan counts to the most beautiful islands in the world. Actually it is a group of 3 small islands which are connected by sand strips, which are making the island looking like something out of a movie!  

Snorkeling is quite awesome here, and there are many diving spots around. As this attracts hordes of tourists, the island closes at 5pm and keep its beauty for those lucky people spending the night at the only accomendation on the island or on a private liveaboard yacht.
