Koh Samui is widely considered to be one of the most picturesque locations in all of Thailand. If you like being outside and participating in various outdoor activities, Koh Samui is the place to go. The following are the top 5 things to do in the great outdoors when visiting Koh Samui.
One of the most exciting things to do in Koh Samui is sea walking. If you've always been curious about what it would be like to see the ocean floor from below but haven't worked up the courage to go diving just yet, then it's time for you to try sea walking. There is no requirement for prior swimming or even diving experience since an experienced guide will accompany you and a specialised oxygen helmet will be provided.
You won't want to pass up the opportunity to go fishing in Koh Samui! The islands that are situated to the south of Koh Samui, like Koh Taen, Koh Rap, and Koh Mat Sum, are known for having some of the best fishing opportunities in this region. Since you get to enjoy the ride on a traditional wooden Thai boat that has a roof over it to protect you from the sunshine and the rainfall, you will find that it is a really soothing experience. Additionally, all of the required fishing gear will be given, so there is no need for you to carry anything with you. Many resorts the likes of Santiburi Koh Samui offer excursions like this as part of their vacation packages. It's best to check with the specific resort you are interested in to see what excursions they offer.
Instead of taking a boat to the nearby islands, consider renting a jet ski so you can have a more thrilling ride. It is both safe and pleasant to ride a jet ski, and with the guidance of professionals, even youngsters are able to ride it safely. You have the option of renting a jet ski for either 30 or 60 minutes, depending on how long you want to use it, and then taking a tour of the local islands on your own while driving the jet ski.
If you like participating in water activities, you must give flyboarding a go at least once. You will experience a rush of adrenaline as you are carried further into the sky by the powerful water that is blasting out below. There is assistance and instruction available from staff members who have been well-trained to guide you through the thrill of flying.
On Koh Samui, there is much more to do than just laze about on the beach and soak up the rays of the sun. Do not pass up the opportunity to go jungle trekking in Koh Samui, especially if you prefer climbing mountains to lounging on the beach. You have the option of either driving the ATV into the jungle or ziplining through the mountain while taking in the scenery. In addition to that, you may go swimming at the waterfalls while you are in the forest. Just make sure to grab your swimwear before you head out for an adventure of a lifetime!
