Highlights
#CoreMemories
Why we love this experience
Wildlife Encounters
So close they might bite your hand off!
Sunrise Trekking at Osmena Peak!
The hike is relatively short and beginner-friendly while still rewarding you with panoramic views of jagged hill & rolling landscapes at the summit.
Just show up
All the major logistics are taken care of!
No diving experience? Fret not, Koh Tao is known for being one of the most affordable place to get your Open Water & Advanced certification in Southeast Asia.
Dive into highly visible waters and marine encounters include turtles, whale sharks, tuskfishes, great barracuda and more!
Outside of dives, we are spoilt for choices when it comes to social activities - paddleboard, pubcrawls, dragshows, beachclubs, yoga!
