Fabulous experience - so good to see elephants in a natural habitat!
Nana is such an informative guide. We loved hearing about the rescue elephants, the relationship they have with their caretakers, the plans for the elephant homes future.
Its a Thailand must, Making the pumpkin seed 'food' to grow, seeing the elephants wandering in their jungle....they are clearly loved and taken care of. We need to stop any form of elephant riding/logging etc. The 8 girls and 1 boy are so gorgeous and we need to protect this species. Please visit & help! 🐘💕

Great private 4x4 tour
We had a great experience with our driver (Tony?) who spoke little English but was determined to make our trip as memorable as possible. He used his phone to translate when unsure and took us to lots of places not on the original listing as we were unable to visit the waterfalls (no water due to drought) and overlap stone (closed to public) but his choices were great and we enjoyed sitting on the top of the van. Nothing was too much trouble and he provided us with water, cleansing towels and lots of smiles! We couldn’t have asked for more. He took it at our pace and it felt relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Tour around the island
Great tour, our tour guide was lovely and very informative, happy to help and offered to take photos for us on every stop. Cold drinks supplied was a benefit and the stop to try coconut ice cream was delicious. Very friendly guide and driver. I wouldn’t recommend to swim at the waterfall on the last trip, it was busy and we only had 30 minutes before getting back on the bus, so I would recommend trying some of the yummy food stalls there, buy souvenirs etc. we were happy that the tour was finished mid afternoon and were back at our hotel mid afternoon.

Just right
Very well guided tour hitting several must see spots in Koh Samui. Our guide Yai and driver Mr. Whit did an excellent job. I appreciated that they provided water and cold towels throughout the trip as it was very hot. The timing was good, not too long and not too short.

Magical visit with elephants
The elephant sanctuary was so beautiful to see how these elephants are cared for after being rescued. Tour started with a morning swim at a waterfall. Lunch was delicious. Loved the thrill of riding on top of the jeep.What made this tour the best was our amazing guide Marisa and super fun driver Tommy. Thanks for a great day!

KO Samui Temples & Scenery Including lunch
The trip was absoluteky awesome. We arrived late due to the ships tender & they waited for us with a smile. The guide was lovely she took us to some fabulous sites & helped me when climbing steps, she was really considerate. The meal we had in a restaurant looking out to sea on the beach was the best meal I have eaten, it was totally delicious. The roads are narrow & steep in places & the driver was briliant. The car was lovely well air conditioned as the day was extremely hot. We had a fabulous day Thank You Viator it will be a day we will always remember with much happiness.

Great experience kayaking with Lek
We had a great kayak experience with this kayak outfit, especially with Lek.
There were some things I didn't understand so hopefully this will help other tourists.
We were staying at the J Holiday Inn in Krabi town. We were picked up around 8:00 am. I mistakenly thought the kayak tour began at 8:30 but there was a fairly long drive to get to the mangroves. I had also mistakenly thought that the person picking us up was just the taxi driver but it turned out it was Lek who was also the person who took us out on the kayak.
When we arrived at the water we had coffee/tea and waited a while for the tides to increase (I think that is what was happening). After a while we got into the water and then did a beautiful kayak through the mangroves. The scenery was stunning and we even saw a few monkeys in the nearby mangroves.
Lek was fantastic - friendly, informative, he offered to take photos of us. I think our kayak tour was around two hours. When we returned to shore we were given watermelon and hung out around before getting back into taxis for our return trip.
We paid an extra 100 Thai baht for the transport which included round-trip transport.
I was glad I chose this kayak trip because we only had a total of 10 people in our group vs what seemed like very large groups on other tours. Lek was great.

Really enjoyed our morning seeing the pigs
Lovely morning at the two islands. The baby pigs were so sweet. Won’t bite unless you feed from your hands, lots of bowls available. Also loved drinking water from our bottles. Lunch was pretty good and in a lovely spot. Boat was very full but it is high season. Overall good value for money.

Excellent experience...
Excellent experience learning traditional Thai cooking. Our teenage son enjoyed the experience and learning to cook from a professional chef in a leisurely environment.
Food was great, better then most hotels. After the class, we received the recipes for the meal we cooked.

Great tour - highly recommend!
Very friendly host and crew.
Particularly Ko who was knowledgeable (even knew the individual pigs!!) & really accommodating.
Insane amount of food (including fresh fruit cut onboard) and drinks catered - felt very spoilt.
Supplied towels for post swim, together with snorkels.
Overall a wonderful experience.
Thank you so much for looking after us!

A Delightful Morning Excursion
We were picked up on time by our driver at our resort and taken to the first stop to meet our guide and the other four people in our tour. We were driven around the eastern half of the island and visited some of main places of interest. Our driver was very competent and drove safely in the comfortable air conditioned van. We were offered water half way through the tour.
Our tour guide was brilliant . She was so bubbly, friendly and very knowledgeable. She gave us a wonderful, enjoyable morning.
