Koh Kood is a very peaceful, away from it all type of place, time to kick back and forget about the world for a few days but for those that get itchy feet, there are still plenty of things to do.

The Koh Kood diving scene is small but well organised and run, offering you the chance to explore underwater on the great dive sites around the island or further a-sea at the Marine Park of Koh Rang. You can even get down to some serious wreck diving offshore from Koh Chang.

Snorkelers can hop on with these boats or there are other join and private trips available to visit offshore islands like Koh Raet and Koh Maisi Lek.

Koh Kood also boasts some great natural attractions in three waterfalls, two huge ancient, mystical trees and a nature trail that takes in a rock formed like the keel of a boat.

Throw in the fishing villages at Ao Salad and Ao Yai, the other beaches themselves and you’ll have more than enough things to do in Koh Kood … or then again, you could just take it easy with a cocktail on a sun lounger.

Diving – Things to Do in Koh Kood

Head here for our guide to the Koh Kood diving scene.

The three Koh Kood dive schools, BB Divers, Koh Kood Divers and Paradise Divers have shops in the middle of the island at  Klong Chao and Ao Ngamkho. BB also has a 2nd one at Siam Beach Resort in Bang Bao.

The companies offer everything from fun dives (3,500bt, 2 boat dives), to freediving (1,000bt per session if qualified), all the PADI courses including DSD (Discover Scuba Diving, 5,000bt 2 boat dives), Open Water 15,500bt) and some special Bubblemaker kid’s programmes too (3,500bt).  

On our page, we cover the dive sites – local, Koh Rang and the Koh Chang wreck – as well as give you a full list of guide prices and of course, we can book everything for you too.

Snorkeling, Fishing and Kayaks

Snorkeling and fshing around Koh Kood is another great way to take a break from the beach, with various companies offering 1/2 day boat trips, either morning or afternoon.

Speedboats head to the local reef at the island of Koh Raet, drop in on Secret Beach opposite and sometimes head up to Klongtin Beach opposite the other island Koh Maisi Lek. A half day trip is 900bt to 1,000bt per person for a join speedboat (usually with a minimum requirement of 6 persons) – transfers, light lunch, water, snorkel and mask included.

You can also head over to the Marine Park at Koh Rang – the best snorkeling in the whole area. There you park up to snorkel a couple of the islets offshore from the main island as well as a stop on the beach. It’s   1,000bt per person with the Marine Park tax at 200bt per adult, kids at 100bt (sometimes included in the price if 1,200bt). 

We can organise private 1/2 day trips to the same locations aboard either a standard speedboat (4,500bt to 6,500bt for 2 to 6 persons, local) or over to Koh Rang at at 8,500bt to 9,000bt for 2 persons including the park fee. See the snorkeling page for more details and then please do get in contact for a quotation.

Fishing trips, mainly for squid, are also available for a couple of hours, prices at around 900bt to 1,000bt for join or 4,500bt to 5,500bt for private.
