The Experience

Before You Go

Secure small items

Phones and sunglasses can fall; use a leash or leave valuables at your hotel.

Wear supportive shoes

Closed-toe, grippy shoes are required — no flip-flops — to move safely between platforms.

Hydrate and time it right

Book morning slots to avoid mid-afternoon heat and bring or refill a water bottle before arrival.

Mind the weight & health rules

The operator enforces a ~110 kg limit and excludes pregnant guests and those with serious heart or back issues.

Conservation Note

Koh Samui’s interior transitioned from coconut plantations and fishing villages to a tourism economy; many local operators are rooted in those communities.
