Activities for Koh Lipe
Koh Lipe in the Tarutao National Park is a small quite island, but there's more to do than just lie around! With the park at our door step there are a lot of water based activities and trips to go on.
Scuba Diving
Go diving with our very own Castaway Divers! A diving trip is more than the time spent under water, it is the whole experience. Diving in small groups of up to eight people from purpose built long tail boats all our customers have a personal experience. Tarutao has a lot of coral reefs to dive with a large choice of sites for all levels of experience. We teach in English, Dutch and German.
Snorkelling
Although diving is great fun, you don't have to dive in order to enjoy the wonderful sea life. Koh Lipe has several coral reefs including one right in front of the resort. Before going out have a look at our reef charts and learn a bit about the coral then snorkel out to experience it for yourself. Or if you like join one of our snorkelling trips to nearby sites and see even greater varieties of sea life.
Kids Snorkelling
With so much to see under the water it should come as no surprise to parents to learn that kids love snorkelling. We have equipment for children of all ages and have selected sheltered sites that they can snorkel safely. As the seas become more acidic caused by global warming coral reefs are in great danger. We try to also educate young minds about the variety and importance of the oceans.
Island Trips
With so many islands around there are plenty of opportunities to get out and about. Maybe you just want to spend the day on a deserted beach by yourself. Or if you want more of a challenge visit Koh Adang and go for a walk though the jungle and visit waterfalls. Monkeys, large lizards and sea eagles are just some of the animals that you can see around the park.
Kayaking
Rent a kayak for a few hours and you can explore the reefs around the island, or for a more challenging adventure take a ride on a longtail boat further into the National Park and kayak into mangrove swamps.
