We do most of our paddle boarding on the north eastern corner of Koh Samui, as we find the water is nice and calm for paddle boarding, and there’s plenty of coastline to explore.
In the Northern Hemisphere winter, from October – April, the winds are coming from the north east. This makes Bangrak a nice calm spot to paddle, and allows us to glide past Big Buddha at sunrise, get a good work out paddling out to Koh Som, and on other days enjoy a quiet sunset over the hills.
In the Northern Hemisphere summer months, from April – October, the wind is coming from the west. During those months we start our SUP lessons and tours from Choeng Mon beach, exploring the rocky coastline and quiet bays nearby. For the more adventurous we can paddle north to Tongson Bay or south down to Hanuman Bay, towards Chaweng. So many options and that’s just our regular paddles.
Depending on the weather conditions and experience of the paddlers, we have a few longer tours such as the Sunset & Cocktails Sunset Tour, Five Islands Longtail SUP Tour and the North Coast Paddle Tour. Something to suit every paddler – beginner or experienced.
Contact us now to book in your Stand Up Paddleboard lesson or tour. Let us know where you’re staying and we can try to customise a paddle tour to suit your group. As you can see from the map below we paddle from several spots around the island.
Take a look at our blog post “A guide to the beaches in Koh Samui” for more details on each of the beaches and suggestions of hotels in these areas.
