Diving, paddling and an Adang climb in Koh Lipe
Book reef diving with a local operator, rent paddling equipment from Sunrise Beach, or arrange a longtail crossing for the steep Adang viewpoint trail. A Walking Street food browse and Hin Ngam excursion round out six activities with distinct demands on time and sea conditions.
Adang Sea Divers
Adang Sea Divers teaches SSI courses and runs small-group reef dives from Sunrise Beach, with conservation training and coral-restoration work part of its programme. Boats and sites are selected around weather and tides, so a booking should promise the diving format rather than a particular reef.
Ko Lipe Diving School
Ko Lipe Diving School teaches PADI courses in several languages and operates large dive boats from a Walking Street base. The school caps course groups at four students per instructor; its retail shop also provides a practical place to discuss equipment and course requirements.
Castaway Divers
Castaway Divers rents masks, kayaks and paddleboards beside Sunrise Beach and arranges guided diving and snorkelling. The beach base makes short sessions possible, but wind, currents and boat channels should determine a paddling route rather than the apparent distance to an offshore islet.
Chado Cliff Viewpoint
Chado's highest marked viewpoint looks across the channel from forested Koh Adang to the whole outline of Koh Lipe. The climb crosses uneven rock and rope-assisted sections; arrange a return longtail boat and leave enough daylight for the descent.
Ko Hin Ngam
Ko Hin Ngam's shore is covered in rounded black stones polished by waves, rather than white sand. It is a boat excursion from Lipe within Tarutao National Park; leave the stones where they are, and keep the park's seasonal site closures central to the booking.
Walking Street
Walking Street links Pattaya Beach with the island's interior through a narrow lane of food counters, restaurants and small shops. Roti griddles, seafood grills and busy cafe fronts make the evening walk a food-browsing activity; each business keeps its own service hours.
