Private Tour TOTALLY worth the money!
We had an amazing private customized tour of Koh Samui with Krispol. One of the best parts was having the flexibility to make the day completely our own. Our guide was wonderful and happily stopped wherever and whenever we wanted, so we never felt rushed or stuck following a rigid itinerary.
We visited Magic Garden, Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks, Na Muang Waterfall, Haven Elephant Sanctuary, Plai Laem Temple, Lad Koh Viewpoint, and Big Buddha Temple. We were able to spend more time at the places we loved and move on when we were ready.
Having a private guide made exploring Koh Samui so easy and enjoyable.
Highly recommend a private customized tour if you want to experience the best of Koh Samui at your own pace!

Worth every penny
Truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. The excursion was worth every penny from the high speed boat ride to hopping multiple islands and snorkeling in the beautiful Gulf of Thailand. The views were absolutely jaw dropping and the tour guides were amazing…..especially King and Arm.

Amazing day of activities!
We had such an amazing day on this excursion! We went kayaking, snorkeling, and did a short hike, but the snorkeling was definitely the highlight for me. Our snorkeling guide stayed with us the entire time and pointed out so many beautiful fish and sea cucumbers that I probably would have missed on my own.
The boat crew was incredible from start to finish. They took the time to learn everyone’s names and made sure to take pictures of everyone throughout the day, which made the experience feel so personal. Most importantly, they made me feel completely safe and comfortable, especially while snorkeling, which I really appreciated.
The food that was included was also surprisingly delicious! Overall, this was such a fun, well-organized, and memorable experience. The crew truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great day. I would absolutely recommend this excursion!

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 🐘💕

Ang thong marine park day trip
Great day out. Well organised. Wear decent shoes if you’re going to do both view points. Both are excellent the second is longer but views are worth it. Kayaking & snorkelling good fun. Sit at the back of the speedboat if you would prefer a smooth ride. Lunch is ok. Options to buy drinks & snacks at the first viewpoint stop, lunch(2nd viewpoint) & kayak stop. Pick up and comms very good.

California family
🐷🏝️ Pig Island (Koh Madsum) is an absolute must-visit while in Koh Samui! The island is beautiful, with crystal-clear turquoise water, and friendly pigs roaming freely along the beach. It's the perfect place to relax, swim, snap amazing photos, and enjoy the peaceful tropical atmosphere. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or as a couple, Pig Island offers a fun and unique experience you'll never forget. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Koh Samui! 🌊☀️💙

Wonderful Tour, Outstanding Guide, and Great Memories
We had a fantastic day exploring Koh Samui with this tour. Although there hadn’t been enough rainfall for Na Muang Waterfall to be flowing, the team quickly adapted the itinerary and took us to an elephant sanctuary instead. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and showed their commitment to making sure guests still had a memorable day.
Our guide, Jom, was outstanding. He was exceptionally polite, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about Koh Samui’s history, culture, religion, and nature throughout the trip. He answered every question with patience and made everyone feel welcome.
The Jeep ride through the mountains offered breathtaking viewpoints, the visits to the temples and the Magic Garden were fascinating, and the traditional Thai lunch was delicious with beautiful scenery.
Despite the change in plans, the day exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a fun, authentic, and well-organized way to discover Koh Samui, I highly recommend this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to have Jom as your guide, you’re in for an even better experience. Thank you for a memorable day!

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.

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!!

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.

Ko Samui Your Way
Our guide was waiting for us at the meeting point as soon as we arrived. She led us to the vehicle to meet our driver. Both young women were so professional and yet still personable. They happily and easily adapted the itinerary to meet our pace and desires. My husband somehow tweaked his back when we were out and about. They were very considerate and allowed us to stop at a local pharmacy for some topical medication. All in all, it was a wonderful day! We felt like we saw all the highlights, and the vehicle was so comfortable considering we were a party of six adults. Highly recommend!
