About this tour
Paddle out at first light across Koh Samui's glassy waters with a small group and a qualified instructor. This two-hour early-morning tour suits both newcomers and seasoned paddlers, with all kit supplied and hotel pickups included from Chaweng, Bophut, Bangrak and Choeng Mon. You'll need basic swimming ability and moderate fitness; instruction happens on the water.

What to expect
You'll meet your instructor before dawn and receive a short safety briefing and paddling lesson on the beach. Then it's onto the board for a relaxed cruise along the coastline as the sun breaks the horizon. The water is typically calm at this hour, so even beginners find it manageable. Expect to paddle for roughly 90 minutes with time to float and take in the scenery. The return is unhurried—this isn't a fitness test, more a meditative way to start the day.
Good to know
Wear your swimsuit, bring a hat, sunscreen and a towel. You must be able to swim. Book well ahead during peak season. Pickups available from Bangrak, Bophut, Chaweng and Choeng Mon only. Bad weather triggers rescheduling or full refund.
