John-Swan Viewpoint

When embarking on the climb, it's essential to ensure that you have the proper gear. This includes trekking shoes for climbing rocks and navigating slippery sand, shorts for ease of movement, and a jacket for protection from the sun. It's advisable to trek in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the intense heat that can affect your experience. Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with an amazing view and the opportunity to capture stunning photographs. If you happen to take a wrong route and end up at a remote beach, you may find it to be a pleasant and secluded surprise. Keep in mind that there is a 50 THB fee at the gate, but this allows access to Freedom Beach and the peak. Therefore, my recommendation is to make the climb and then relax at Freedom Beach.

Very beautiful viewpoint with a view of the whole island! The color of the water was especially beautiful in a combination with palm trees and rocks next to the beach. The entrance fee is 50 bhat but you also get the access to Freedom Beach (can also recommend that place). The hike up is not super challenging but also not just a walk up. Sometimes you need to climb rocks, so I would recommend going in sneakers not in flip flops. It can also be a little bit slippery because of the sandy path. The hike up took me around 15 minutes
