Cindy’s Tower, an island viewpoint, is 850 m from the hostel.

Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by ferry at Mae Haad on the west coast. The Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 1.3 km from the hostel; pick-up truck taxis serve the island, and scooters are another way to travel between villages and beaches. Roads leading to some of the island’s coves are steep, so take care on a scooter. There is no parking at the hostel. The distance from Chalok Baan Kao to the centre is about 1.2 km.

The south coast has several places for swimming and snorkelling: Shark Bay is known for blacktip reef sharks and turtles in shallow water, while Sun Suwan Viewpoint is 1.2 km away. Ao Leuk Beach is also 1.2 km from the hostel. Diving is a major island activity, with sites around Koh Tao and sightings of whale sharks most common in March–May and September–October. The west and south coasts are generally the calmer side from November to March; ferry crossings can be disrupted by rough seas, particularly from November to January.
