Chaweng is one of the most popular beaches on the island of Koh Samui. It is frequented by both locals and tourists who look to enjoy the surrounding ocean waters through various water sporting activities. From adrenaline rides to gentle wind-guided journeys, here are the best water sports to try in Chaweng.
Snorkelling
Snorkelling is one of the best ways to explore the nearby Crystal Bay and Coral Cove in Chaweng. If you’re based at nearby hotels like Avani Chaweng Samui Hotel & Beach Club you can venture a little further out and snorkel at the nearby Koh Tan Island.
Diving
Even if you aren’t an experienced diver Chaweng has plenty of dive schools and diving spots, which is all you need to explore the ocean depths. Once you receive some basic training you’ll be set to explore and interact with the vibrant marine species that frequent the waters below.
Jet Skiing
Chaweng is also the perfect spot for thrill seekers. Jet skiing is quite the popular water sport in the area with plenty of visitors speeding across the waters at high speeds. Make sure to be careful that your path is clear of nearby swimmers and marine animals as you manoeuvre your jet ski.
Sailing
Sailing is definitely one of the best things to do in Chaweng if you prefer to be carried along the waters by the ocean winds. You can catch the northeastern winds between December and April, while the western winds often prevail from May to November on the island.
