You step from a longtail into an amphitheater of sheer limestone, the sea lifting and lowering like breath around the base of a pointy rock that has a name known worldwide: Koh Tapu.

This private guided day tour runs about 8 hours total, including hotel pickup and return—typically a full‑day schedule.
