Rock Climbing Courses
Rock Climbing Courses on Koh Tao at The Bunker
The Bunker Koh Tao is your awesome all-in-one rock climbing centre, hostel, café, and hang-out space (pun definitely intended!). They offer a range of guided climbing services, as well as Koh Tao rock climbing courses for every level – from complete beginner to seasoned rock monkey!
Rock climbing on Koh Tao is a fantastic experience that gets you out into nature to some amazing spots complete with impressive rock walls and epic viewpoints that most non-climbing visitors will never get to ever experience.
What makes Koh Tao climbing so special? The rocks here are made of granite, which is perfect for taking beginner’s rock climbing courses or honing your skills because it’s more grippy and less slippery than the limestone rocks you’ll see on the mainland and on the West coast of Thailand.

The Bunker Koh Tao offers a range of rock climbing courses suited to a range of climbing abilities:

Top Rope Climbing Course: Half Day, 2600THB
The most popular of The Bunker’s Koh Tao climbing courses, the beginner top rope class is excellent for those who want to try climbing with ropes and a harness. You’ll learn how to use all of the essential climbing and safety equipment under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
