Getting there

If you are going from Koh Samui, it is easy to go here by a catamaran or a ferry via Koh Tao. If you are coming from the main land by train etc, it is easiest to go to Chumpon and from there a take a boat to Koh Tao. The Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran for example. From Koh Tao there are several departures every day.

What to do?

Relaxation and water sports is probably two fair answers to this question. Diving and snorkeling is great in the area, with many good diving sites; Twin Peak, White Rock and Green Rock. There are also other activities such as rock climbing (be very careful though), kayaking and canoeing available on this wonderful "three piece island".

When to go?

The climate here is tropical and usually rather pleasant all year, but it might rain a little more from September until November due to the monsoon season. For more details and stats about weather and climate please go here
