Watersports are extensively available on Koh Samui, an island surrounded
by smaller Islands and a clear blue crystal sea. Details of what
is available can be found in the excellent, very informative local
guides, and brochures can be obtained in hotel reception areas,
and in the numerous sports centres. The choice is varied and large,
and it is a good idea to enquire about insurance cover.
Jet-skiing
Jet skis can be hired on many of the larger beaches. This gives
an opportunity for you to ride the waves and see the island from a
very different perspective.
Snorkelling
 Snorkellers
can accompany their diving companions on the dive trips, or take a
tour organised specially for snorkellers, take a trip arranged by
local fishermen to one of the many surrounding islands, or just snorkel
from the beaches and rock formations dotted around the Island.Whatever,
the beauty of the coral and fish that can be seen through your mask
is sensational.
Water-skiing
Equipment can be hired from several water sports centres in Chaweng,
Bophut, Maenam, Lamai and Big Buddha.

Kayaks

and easy to use. Several companies offer guided daytrip tours to the
nearby Angthong National Marine Park, where you can paddle through
coral gardens and limestone islands. Alternatively you can hire a
canoe by the hour and paddle along Samui's coastline.
Fishing
tours from small fry to deep sea can be booked with a few fishing
tour operators such as
