RatingHad a great time diving with Ben at White Rock and Twins after helping the Goodtimes team do beach clean up! Ben was a great dive master and helped us identify a lot of cool fish and made it a super fun experience. Also huge shout out to Mike for joining our dive today and doing an awesome photo shoot for us!
I’ve done the top rope course with Danny and then sport leading with Andrew. Both had been attentive and skillful and allowed me to feel confident and secure on the climbs and while belaying. On top of that, the crags we’ve gone to are challenging, varied and offer stunning views. Thank you! Had a wonderful time
I had an amazing morning with Danny, who introduced me to outdoor climbing in a friendly atmosphere and gave me fantastic tips for improving! The beauty of the different climbing spots and the views perfectly complemented the sporting experience.
i went there because I was planning to rent a crash pad for bouldering. it's a nice place to prepare your aventures.
Andrew took my family on the climbing guide rock climbing adventure and it was excellent. Our boys, 8 and 10 had their first outdoor climbing experience. Andrew gave them patience, encouragement and confidence. They were fully engaged and left wanting more climbing opportunities for the future. My wife and I had a great time getting back into the sport. The views, courses, and service was exceptional. Thank you for the wonderful morning, we will be back!
Great morning out with Andrew doing the ‘discover rock climbing’ half day. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to give rock climbing a go.
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.
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!
