What are people saying about Koh Samui

10/10 recommend!
This was truly the best tour you could ever ask for! Anything you needed they had, they truly anticipated every need. It was a small enough group that each person was cared for as well. This made it such a relaxing day! Very nice to be on a shaded boat when it got sunny outside too. The snorkeling was some of the best I’ve ever done and the masks were very high quality I didn’t have to adjust it once which made it a worthwhile experience. It was nice to have a guide point things out to us while snorkeling which made it worthwhile. I only wish we got to spend more time snorkeling it was definitely the highlight!

Perfect tour to see the main sights of Koh Samui
Jacky our guide was fabulous. Provided so much information, took photos and assisted in any way he good. The 6 tourist stops were so good...loved the Big Budda and the coconut ice-cream at Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks is a must! Good way to see the sights at a great price! The only downside was seeing the elephants at the waterfall....luckily we didn't witness anyone riding them (which was on offer), only feeding them. This was the only negative aspect for me and nothing to do with such a good tour...just been prepared if you're an elephant lover 🐘💕

Amazing day out
This was an excellent experience not to be missed. Our favourite thing we have done in Thailand and we have done a lot here.
The views are spectacular.
The boat team couldn’t be more helpful, lead by Mikey for our tour. Very considerate and looking after everyone’s needs. As much water and fizzy drink as you want so no need to bring water bottles (in fact, I would suggest you don’t) and they will make sure you are supplied with water each time before you get off the boat. Take it, you will need it.
A few things to know before you go. This is a long trip with limited space on the boat. Big bags won’t fit easily. You will need suncream. Take a towel (at least one per family). The walk to the top is very steep, and very long, you do need to be relatively fit to do it but it is well worth getting to the top. The boat team do a very good job of making sure everyone has pictures. If you can’t make it to the top, even the first view point is worth making the effort for. You need comfortable shoes for the walk up, flip flops or crocs make this substantially harder. We took trainers and are very glad we packed the extra weight in our bag. I would also suggest you take a waterproof case/bag for your phone. Most of the things you take will get wet if you have nothing waterproof to put them in. We took waterproof bags you take on kayaks/water activities and specific phone cases that could be carried around your neck.
The lunch food was good, green chicken curry and rice, battered prawns, battered chicken and stir fried mixed vegetables. Watermelon for pudding.
I would highly recommend you take anti sickness/motion sickness tablets. It gets a bit choppy!
Could not recommend this trip enough, truly spectacular.

Worth it!
This was a great way to spend one of our first days on the island, as it helped us be familiar with the islands and learn about the customs and traditions of the island and people! We were mostly interested in the beaches so our guide Haas took us to stops according to our wishes. It was just what we were hoping for. Totally worth it for our family of 6! Haas was kind and knowledgeable.

Great experience!
This was a blast and we’d highly recommend. It was a great to see the inner part of the island! On the trails we saw local houses, beautiful countryside, and villas being built - all things we hadn’t seen in our week visit to Samui so far. My boys ages 15, 13 and 12 were thrilled that they were able to ride themselves! The guide leads so there aren’t high speeds, which I was happy about as mom. We were picked up punctually and treated with hospitality. Our guide took videos and pictures for us.

Beyond Exceptional Tour
Exceptional tour provided by a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. His English language proficiency was excellent, enabling us to have meaningful conversations about Buddhism and Samui life. Cold water and towels were constantly refreshed. I could not ask for a better introduction to this stunning island. Thank You!!!! John

Highly recommend. Perfect as a solo traveler
An incredible tour with an incredible guide!
I was traveling solo and this tour was 100% the right choice. I felt safe and well-cared for.
My dietary requirements of being a vegetarian were met with ease. When I am back in Koh Samui I will book another tour with this operator.
Thank you for the wonderful day. 🙏

Efficient tour of Koh Samui!
This tour is an efficient and great way to see multiple interesting stops of Koh Samui in one fell swoop! The temples were very close to where we were staying and we had no idea. Our tour guide, Yai, was very engaging and helpful. The tour is just long enough to see all the sights, but we liked it didn’t take up the entire day. The amount of time at each stop was appropriate as we never felt it was too long or too short. Our kids are 10-14yo and could even find things to enjoy at each spot. Especially swimming in the waterfall at the end!!

Book It!!
Absolutely AMAZING! Must do trip! My husband and I booked this for our honey moon and it was incredible! About a 3 hour ride out but you get your our lounge seats and view is incredible! Breakfast is amazing! Lunch was one of the best meals we had all week! Crew is amazing!!! Highlight of our trip! Much better option than the speedboats! Recommend bringing tennis shoes if you plan to do the hike!

Good Shore Excursion From Port
Personal driver for the day in good quality air conditioned vehicle. Managed our time and visits well mindful we were on cruise ship so - shore excursion. Managed to see all we wanted (even though we were later than expected - due to sea tender). Bottled water provided. Driver was very good. Would recommend as great value for money.

A great day out seeing the hi-lights of Ko Samui
Grace met us on time at the tender wharf & was very friendly, kind & well informed guide. Our transport was excellent, lovely Thai luncheon overlooking the beach was included. Everything they said would be covered (& more) was done - all in all an excellent day out to visit Ko Samui & we’d highly recommend Grace, our guide.

Awesome tour, loved it. Bring swimsuit and towel
Nikki our tour guide was a lot of fun and absolutely fantastic. She keeps the mood lively and provides good depth of information. She was possibly the best tour guide we’ve had in all of Thailand. Just a pro tip, you can swim at the waterfall so bring a towel and swimsuit if you’re interested in doing that but you’re only there for around 30 to 40 minutes but enough time for a quick dip.
