Taxi Boats in Koh Tao
Local taxi boats and private boat operators can be useful for reaching beaches, bays and snorkelling spots around Koh Tao, especially when road access is awkward or when you want a more flexible boat arrangement.
Whether you'd like to visit quieter beaches, explore different bays, arrange a private snorkelling trip or simply enjoy time on the water, hiring a private taxi boat can be a flexible alternative to joining a larger tour.

What Taxi Boats Can Be Used For
- Private boat hire by prior arrangement.
- Beach and bay transfers when conditions are suitable.
- Private snorkelling trips or snorkelling drop-offs.
- Exploring Koh Tao's coastline and different bays by boat.

Do not assume every beach, bay or route is available every day. Weather, sea conditions, timing and local arrangements can all affect what is practical.
