Koh Taen, off the southern shore, has excellent hiking trails for an easy stroll or a serious all day trek through the jungle. The island is largely uninhabited and has several nature study points maintained by the Koh Taen Conservation Club. Legend has it that dogs cannot survive a night on the island, this is probably due to the high frequency calls omitted by the millions of bats which call Koh Taen home and can be seen clouding the sky ( and heading for Samui ) at dusk. You can arrange long tail boat transport to Koh Taen from Tong Krut Bay on Samui's southern shore.
