Island Waterfalls

Ko Samui's interior features several distinct cascades, including Na Muang, the island's tallest waterfall. While Na Muang 1 is easily accessible with a large natural swimming pool, the higher Na Muang 2 requires a steeper climb. For a more spiritual experience, Wat Hin Lad sits at the start of a two-kilometer jungle trail leading to the multi-level Hin Lat Waterfall. Tan Rua, hidden in the northern jungle, is accessible via a forest path near a canopy walkway and treehouse cafe.
