Koh Tao Climbing Guidebook

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.

Goodtime Adventures has been developing rock climbing on Koh Tao since 2007 and has led the way in top rope, sport leading and traditional climbing routes. Prior to the birth of Goodtime Adventures, there had previously only been some boulder areas mapped by James March (Zen Gecko), who was the first to see Koh Tao for its amazing climbing potential. Since then we have put in over 70 routes in 3 main areas – along with some new and exciting bouldering areas.
