can be rented from dive shops around the island.
Koh Samui Sea Kayaking
Samui's shoreline and nearby islands harbour a wealth of
marine, animal and plant life. For a close and leisurely look,
there is no better option than to spend a day or few hours
in a sea kayak. Guided trips - half, day, day and overnight
trips are available through agencies in Chaweng area.

Koh Samui Hiking
Inland, Samui island features some scenic waterfalls that
afford the leisurely hiker a pleasant few hours in exploration.
Hin Lat Falls lies south of Nathon. Upon arrival at the entrance
to the falls, a hike up to the top takes about 30 minutes.
Na Muang Falls is further south again - about a 2km walk from
the marked turn-off.
