    There's 2 ways Google map would recommend you to go. If you ride from Chaweng, choose the longer one (21km) as the road is a lot better But if you want adventure one, choose the shorter one. It will be the road up to the mountain and pass through some gardens. The road isn't quite good but worth for adventure especially when it's raining. Waterfall is amazing as it's located up on the hills, it's very clear and cold. Good experience

    Not the greatest waterfall by any stretch of the imagination but still worth doing if you have some free time on the island. Bare in mind I visited in May when there wasn't too much water, I imagine there'd be far more in the coming months. The route to get to the falls isn't brilliant, lots of unpaved dirt track, experienced scooter drivers only would be my advice. If there had been any rain through the day then I wouldn't bother as all that dirt will turn to mud and sludge. Once you arrive, there is one refreshment vendor at the entrance. Here there is a WC 10bt and reasonable prices for cold drinks with some shaded seating. Entrance to the falls is free of course but the walk to get to the falls is not straightforward. It's an uneven dirt path, you must climb down to get to the falls and climb back up when you're done.

    Beautiful waterfall and a fun little climb/walk over the rocks. The road to the parking is quite rough but okay for someone with driving experience.

    I love mountain waterfall. It’s peaceful and very nice area. We saw a rainbow at there on Valentine Day 2021. We were very lucky. It was awesome waterfall.

    My favorite waterfall on Ko Samui, the road leading there is beautiful as well, far away from the mainroad and you pass by a Restaurant with great seaview. It's more fun to walk down to the waterfall with shoes, i cannot recommend FlipFlops. It should be also okay, but the way getting really steep at some point. Make sure you get yourself hydrated with a cold drink from the small local shop at the parking! Support the locals. For me this waterfall is a truly quiet, peaceful and beautiful place.

    The Mountain Waterfall in Koh Tao, Thailand, stands as a natural wonder that enchants visitors with its raw beauty and soothing ambiance. Nestled within the island's lush tropical forests, this hidden gem provides a refreshing retreat from the island's coastal attractions. The journey to the Mountain Waterfall begins with a scenic hike through verdant jungle trails, offering glimpses of diverse flora and fauna along the way. The anticipation builds as the sound of cascading water grows louder, signaling the approach to this enchanting oasis. As travelers arrive at the waterfall's base, they are greeted by a mesmerizing sight: a glistening curtain of water tumbling down from a rocky outcrop, creating a pristine pool at the foot of the falls. The invigorating spray and the cool mountain waters invite visitors to wade in and embrace nature's embrace. Surrounded by lush foliage and shaded by towering trees, the Mountain Waterfall offers a serene escape from the island's tropical heat. Picnic spots and natural rock formations provide ideal settings for relaxation and contemplation, allowing visitors to soak in the tranquil atmosphere. Beyond its natural allure, the waterfall carries cultural significance for the island's locals, who consider it a spiritual sanctuary and pay their respects through simple offerings and rituals. In summary, the Mountain Waterfall on Koh Tao is a hidden gem that rewards intrepid explorers with a tranquil and immersive encounter with nature's beauty. Embracing visitors in its soothing embrace, this secluded waterfall provides an unforgettable experience that reflects the essence of Thailand's enchanting tropical paradise.

    Worth the hike. A great place to sit and eat lunch. The water is cool, but not cold. You will need drinking water and MOSQUITO spray. The hike up is not too steep, if you take it slow you can do it in 30 min. The parking is safe and there are toilets, and a few vendors.

    The mountain road to the waterfall was more of an adventure than the actual waterfall. You can drive a motorbike right to the waterfall on local roads. There is nothing special about the waterfall, it is not a tall cascading one, but a very small one. It only hits 3/5 on my scale compared to the other waterfalls that I have been to while in Thailand. But it is a nice drive to get there and there are actually a couple really nice viewpoints on the route where you can see down to the sea.

    I love the place because hardly anyone around. If you want a waterfall to yourself then definitely come here. The road leading to it is a bit rough, so come prepared and know how to ride a bike well.

    This spot was one of the best experiences we've been to in Ku Samui. The nature, the green scenery, the roads towards, the beautiful views from top of the mountain, with the great forests, partial oceanic view, and then a nice small waterfalls at the end. That was beautiful.

    Keep driving even if Google Maps tells you to turn around. Steep but pretty safe decline down to the lower waterfall which really isn't that special. As everyone says, wear good sneakers. Flip flops and sandals will be much more dangerous both on the stairs and all around the actual water. Went on a Wednesday late afternoon at the end of January, 2024.

    Great spot. Not too many people. I had the place to myself. No cost, the is a store at the falls but often closed.

    Beautiful waterfalls in Koh Samui. Not so difficult to navigate. You can stay here for longer time if you wish…

  • 4/5 Tim A. 5 months ago on Google
    Small climb down to a small waterfall, no fitness required. No parking or entry fee. The road up to the mountain isn't the best so moderate driving skills recommended. The road does treat you to some spectacular views over the west coast of Samui though.

  • 4/5 Dora S. 8 months ago on Google
    The water was low even if it was rainy season so it was not for swimming. But area is really beautiful and worth the ride to explore. If you have small kids don't stop at the market. Continue straight, beacuse it is hard to reach from lower end.

    Good place to visit be careful with the road before

    The way to the waterfall is so excited! I would suggest to go if you are experienced driver as the road is very steep! Views are spectacular all around! Waterfall itself is beautiful, with at least 2 places for swimming. Great experience! 💚

    Nice waterfall. Very exciting road to get there. Not for novice bike riders.

    The way to the waterfall is more exciting than this waterfall. But it’s still impressive. Better go in sneakers!

  • 5/5 Balaji D. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place to visit. The waterfall is gentle and soothing to watch. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Anna L. 1 year ago on Google
    An awesome waterfall! The road there is a bit of a challenge so be careful! Don't go with flipflops and do bring ur swimsuit for a cooloff! We were there completely alone and only saw a few people on our way back, worth a visit! No entrence or parking fee, toilet for 10THB and u cam buy drinks at the parkimg place.

    Crazy drive to get here and not the best waterfall ever! But quite pretty and chilled. The road is very very muddy and bumpy, it was a struggle with two on the bike especially when it's been raining and the floor is softer and wetter! The climb down to the waterfall is pretty precarious, I recommend wearing proper trainers, nothing you can slip in! This also means the climb back up is quite difficult. Through the jungle. But you have good strong ropes to help you up and down so anyone can do it. Only a 15 minute walk each way. Pretty secluded, could have a nice tranquil moment here. But also isolated and wouldn't want to do that drive back in the dark so go in the morning/early afternoon. There's a little shop at the top. And it's free to enter as far as we could tell. Thanks!

    We visited with a Quadbike tour and the stop at the waterfall was really nice.

  • 5/5 Taksina N. 1 year ago on Google
    Private, remote, not too far to Walk down from car park area. With rope support and bamboo railings to help in the climb towards water falls. Rocky and very green.

  • 5/5 Krzysztof B. 1 year ago on Google
    Rate including the road with magnificent view and some thrill related to wilderness. Waterfall itself is probably not the most spectacular island but it is quite isolated and you can meet few people there. Actually I met no one.

  • 4/5 Valera L. 2 years ago on Google
    nice waterfall with large pools but far away from the main road

  • 5/5 Shane F. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to see. A bit harry to get too not for small children or those with unsure footing. P.S. lookout for bamboo snakes.

😠 This visit was upsetting to say the least. I'm still ashamed I contributed money by visiting this place, I was not prepared for the terrible conditions these animals are being kept in. I hope and pray, I plead to the owners if they see these reviews, PLEASE put the money towards improving their home...

👍👍 Nice waterfall, everytime I go to Koh Samui, I like to get back here because it's such a quiet place. You can walk way up the rocks and down the waterfall you can relax in the water.
