Located southeast of Nathon Bay, these falls are the highest in the entire island of Koh Samui. It takes around thirty minutes to get to the summit, and you can visit the smaller waterfalls within the same day. If you’re travelling with kids, these falls are a fantastic choice for a day trip. Spend the day hiking and cooling down in the natural pools that the cascades flow into.

The falls are surrounded by thick, lush forests that are worth exploring. For a fun and safe trip, make sure to bring appropriate footwear since some areas of the path may be slippery. Bring a change of clothes too, so that you’re comfortable and dry on your hike back after swimming.

Other things you may want to consider bringing to the falls include insect repellent, sunscreen, drinks, and a beach towel. If you get hungry during the trek, you’ll find some vendors on the path that sell drinks and light snacks. Some tour operators can arrange a trip to the waterfalls with other tours of the nearby area, but you can also easily arrange your own, especially if you’re on a budget.

The beauty of Na Mueang Waterfall 2 is proof that the island isn’t just all about the beach.
