You should also look for a koi pond kit that comes with a filtration system as well as skimmer and a pump.
You can find different levels of koi pond kits. Most pond kits will include a small waterfall, although you may want to upgrade for a larger, more spectacular waterfall.

It can be all too easy to be talked into buying more than you need when you are getting started. After you get your pond all set up, all you will need is some koi and you are set.
