Emma_C, Aug 2026

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 🐘💕

Samui: Elephant Jungle experience & The First Elephant Museum

Emma_C, Aug 2026

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! 🐘💕

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 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!

Krabi kayak at Ao Thalane

Harrison_H, Feb 2026

A great time!

My wife and I really enjoyed this kayak tour! We were staying on Railay Beach and took a longtail boat to meet our guide at Ao Nam Mao pier. Our guide was on time and easy to find. The drive to the kayak point (including picking up other guests) was a bit long, but I found it to be a nice scenic drive. The kayak location is absolutely beautiful and we were lucky to be there at high tide so we could explore more of the area. Our guide, Lek, was friendly and helpful and made sure everyone was having a good time no matter their kayak level. He also took some great photos of us and the other people in our group and pointed out things of interest as we paddled. As a beginner who has only kayaked a few times, I didn't find the kayaking too difficult, though you will have to paddle around some vines, rocks, and other obstacles. We were given life jackets and felt very safe the whole time. The 2 hours of kayaking was a perfect amount. This tour company is extremely professional and well run and I was impressed with how fast they would answer questions on WhatsApp. I requested some photos from the day and they were able to get them from my guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in a scenic kayak experience!

Pig Island Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling

Oliver_W, Feb 2026

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.

Simply The Best!

We booked this tour as we liked the idea that it was a private tour just for us both. We were not disappointed! Our tour guide (Kai) was absolutely fantastic! He drove us around the island stopping periodically to show us the beautiful sites and even picked fruit (rambutans, similar to a lychee) from a tree for us to try. We had all the time we wanted at each stop and could tailor make the tour to our liking. Kai was very friendly, knowledgeable, avoided the busy tourist periods and is simply the best 4x4 off road driver. I have to say, this was the best tour I have ever experienced in Thailand. Thank you Kai for making our day so very special.

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.
