Koh Singto is a small, rocky island situated off the southern coast of Hua Hin, clearly visible from Khao Takiab and Pranburi Beach. The island derives its name from its naturally eroded shape that strongly resembles a reclining lion, facing the mainland—a marvel of geological formation. The island is a pristine natural area, devoid of any permanent structures, and maintains its original beauty.

The most important feature of Koh Singto is its reputation as a popular snorkeling and fishing destination. The waters surrounding the island contain relatively intact shallow coral reefs, including various types of hard and soft corals, which attract a diverse array of small marine fish and sea creatures. Additionally, during low tide, a small, quiet sandy beach is exposed on the island's leeward side, where boats can anchor for passengers to relax.

The main activities when visiting Koh Singto involve hiring a longtail boat or speedboat from the Khao Takiab pier to go snorkeling and fishing. Most trips are either private charters or specific joint tours centered around the island. Visitors experience a sea holiday far removed from the hustle and bustle of Hua Hin's main beaches, making it perfectly suited for those seeking to escape crowded areas and enjoy undisturbed underwater nature.

The atmosphere around Koh Singto is pure and tranquil. The sea water is typically very clear during the high season (when the sea is calm), making it ideal for nature and underwater photographers aiming to capture the beauty of the eroded rock formations and the relatively unspoiled underwater world. The island is a dream destination for couples seeking private romance and the thrill of exploring a remote island in the sea.

We invite everyone to journey to Koh Singto and experience its wonder—a natural sculpture and an impressive diving spot—to create unique memories in the sea near Hua Hin.
