I did my 3-day Open Water course and had an amazing experience. The dives were unreal, especially sites like White Rock. I felt like I got so much out of it in just a few days. Fabio was a brilliant instructor as well, really clear, calm, and easy to learn from, which made the whole course feel much more relaxed and enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Great place to book multiple activities. We only did the rock climbing with them ourselves. It's great for a first introduction, but there is plenty to try here for advanced climbers as well. Afterwards, we ordered some food and a drink at the cafe. Everything was delicious and delivered quickly. And apparently, awesome drum & bass parties and artists come by here.

I was very happy with my 4-night stay in the dorm here. The room was clean, climate controlled, very affordable, and was outfitted with a refrigerator and free bath towel. Bart and Charlie are great hosts and set me up with all the information I needed to climb the many granite rocks scattered across the island.

If you are a novice like me, this is an excellent place to try one day sessions for scuba diving and rock climbing. Chris was my instructor for scuba diving, and Danny was for rock climbing. Both are really good, experienced teachers. Highly recommend goodtime for a good time !

Frequently Asked Questions

Browse through our FAQs for quick answers to your most pressing rock climbing questions. You’ll find information about our courses, equipment, safety measures, and more. Whether you’re new to climbing or an experienced climber, you’ll find helpful information to guide you through your climbing journey.

Starting with a rock climbing adventure is easier than you might think! Begin with a beginner-friendly course, such as the beginner top rope course or abseiling on Koh Tao, where instructors teach the basics in a safe environment. Many first-timers find that outdoor rock climbing on Koh Tao is a great way to experience the sport for the first time.

For outdoor rock climbing, essential gear includes climbing shoes, a harness, a helmet, and chalk for grip. Depending on the type of climbing (sport, traditional, or top roping), additional gear like ropes, belay devices, quickdraws, and cams may be necessary. We provide all the equipment needed during our rock climbing courses (we love Petzl brand) and we have gear for rent when you’re going out for a guided outdoor rock climbing session.

A sport climbing course focuses on climbing routes that are equipped with fixed anchors, making it ideal for those who want to advance their climbing with more security. By contrast, a traditional lead climbing course teaches you how to place your own protection as you climb, which is essential for climbing on routes without any fixed anchors.

Absolutely! Our guided outdoor rock climbing sessions are tailored for all skill levels, including beginners. Our guides will assess your experience and choose routes that match your ability, ensuring a fun and rewarding climbing experience on Koh Tao. If you’re travelling without your climbing gear, don’t worry. We have gear for rent, and if you hire one of our guides we’ll rent you the gear at 50% off.

Rock climbing is an excellent full-body workout that builds strength, improves flexibility, and enhances cardiovascular endurance. It’s also a great mental exercise, improving problem-solving skills, reducing stress, and boosting confidence through achieving goals. To top it all of you also get access to the best views of Koh Tao – what’s not to love?

Here on Koh Tao we use the French grading system. Our beautiful granite rocks on Koh Tao have climbs ranging from 4 to 7c perfect for every climbing adventure from beginner to advanced!
