Hin Wong Bay

Hin Wong Bay is a delightful surprise, especially when the west side of Koh Tao is busy. We always find it a more serene spot. Drop in and you’re immediately enveloped by the soft corals, the water often a comforting milky blue, filtering the light beautifully. Look closely among the staghorn thickets; we’ve had some cracking encounters here with groups of golden-girdled coralfish flitting about. The bluestone kambingan are always present, curious and unafraid, darting between the crevices. It's a site that rewards a slow pace. We love drifting over the sandy patches where blunt snout gregories hold court, and if you’re lucky, a sailfish might cruise by in the deeper blue, though that's a rare treat. For those who appreciate the smaller details, the filamentous blennies are captivating, popping in and out of their sandy homes. We think Hin Wong is perfect for a relaxed second dive, or for anyone wanting to escape the crowds and just enjoy the quiet rhythm of the reef.
