Kayaking is a great way to explore Koh Tao’s less accessible bays, especially around the eastern and southern coastlines. The gentle seas here allow one to embark on their adventurous self-manned sea kayaking trips, offering spectacular vistas of the island and ocean. Turtles, rays and colourful fish are frequently spotted too. It is a beginner-friendly watersport, and kayaks can be rented at most beaches here, such as Shark Bay and Freedom Bay.
