Had an amazing time climbing with mew and danny. It was my first time repelling and climbing and it was such a blast that I'm considering doing it in the future as a hobby.
Had a great dive with Beth as our DM on Sail Rock. She expertly navigated around and Mike took some great photos of us while we were underwater. Everything was professional and we had a fantastic experience!
Great experience climbing for the first time !outdoors Dani was very professional and fun. Super good instructor 🙏🏼 Thank you! I had an amazing day:)
I've been at Goodtime for few weeks now. I have done 17 dives, also my Deep Dive spec and still planning on doing few more. All of the instructors that I had the pleasure of meeting, diving together - Ana, Lukas, Max, Becky, Logan and Luke - have been amazing. The whole office team (Charlie, Bart) has been super helpful and accommodating. All the bar staff, Eimear and the back of house staff are just the nicest most genuine people. It is definitely a great Goodtime community that I'm greatful to be have been part of here on Koh Tao. - Just wanted to add that I've also went climbing and Myo was amazing, very helpful and professional. I've done climbing before but he drove me to another level. 🙏

We Had an awesome rock climbing session with Owen and Eli! They were professional and patient and made the experience very fun. Highly recommend them.
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!
