Watch Sunset at Krating Cape

Krating Cape is another viewpoint that offers a great view of the ocean as well as a fun hike that will take you through a more remote part of the island. Since the cape is facing west, it is also one of the best places around to watch the sunset over the ocean. There are 2 ways you can get to Krating Cape, you can either continue on and hike from Black Rock Viewpoint for another 1 km (around 1 hour) following the road until you arrive at the intersection above and turn left. Once you arrive at a large banyan tree, turn right and you should arrive at an opening with the ocean on the horizon. Continue on and you will be met with a stunning vista of the ocean and the cape.

The view from Krating Cape may not be as beautiful as Black Rock Viewpoint but if you are there before sunset, you will find yourself completely in solitude. Just make sure to spare some time for the hike back otherwise you will be hiking back at night which is not recommended. Once you are done, you take the same way back and continue along the road for about 2 hours before you arrive back at the taxi stall where you parked your moped. Many people, including myself, often combine Black Rock Viewpoint with Krating Cape into a 5-km long hike which should take about 4 hours to complete.
