  • Your Chance To

    Located in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Tao - aka "Turtle Island"- is a prime location in Thailand, boasting stunning beaches, a rich variety of jungle life, huge granite boulders, fantastic panoramic hill-top views, a selection of tasty restaurants and a great night life! Enjoy all of this and more, but without the overcrowding found on other islands. Koh Tao is a bouldering mecca, with massive granite boulders littering the landscape from mountain to beach. Koh Tao is a granite heaven located in the middle of the beautifully clear tropical seas of Thailand's Gulf. The island itself is made up of volcanic rock in the form of large boulders dotting the landscape, and making up the islands topography and coastlines. The climbing options on Koh Tao are extensive. From mountain top complexes of walls and routes with amazing panoramic views, to seaside cliffs with erosion patterns etched into the rocks where you can climb and watch fish swim amongst the corals below. You'll also find lowland boulder fields amongst coconut plantations and huge isolated rocks deep in the jungle just waiting to be climbed.
