Klong Chao Waterfall
Koh Kood itself is the main attraction, but tucked away in the rainforest is the impressively beautiful Klong Chao Waterfall, which cascades over three tiers into a large pool. Visitors can swim and bathe in the waters all year round.
Adventure
Kayaking is a great way to explore the island’s waterways and mangrove swamps - if the sea is calm you can kayak to totally deserted beaches that are inaccessible by road whilst if you kayak at dusk you may be see thousands of small, glowing jellyfish in the waters below. The waters surrounding Koh Kood are home to a treasure trove of exotic marine life – guests at Soneva Kiri can enjoy snorkelling trips with trusted experts, including the exclusive option of a marine biologist, to seek out rock formations teeming with wildlife and coral gardens bursting with colour.
Not that you’ll probably need them, but it’s worth knowing that there are no banks or ATMs on the island!
