Top Koh Samui Half-day Tours - page 4

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.

Katie our tour guide was fantastic , gave us lots of great information and answered all our questions. The museum was very interesting and of course feeding and watching the elephants was amazing . Lots of cold water available and toilets were immaculate . Well worth the money

It was a wonderful experience over all everything was very well organized from pick up from hotel till drop off , very fun , with great experience with elefants , great people, great food and very clean facilities. We were with our 7 year old son , it was a great experience for him as well. Definitely recommend it.

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.

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!

Beat day out we had in koh samui. Everything was seamless and just the right amount of time in each place Beaches and swimming were amazing and our 3.5 year old had a great time. Children are well looked after by all the staff when getting on and off the boats

We had the most joyous driver for this tour. Even though English was hard, he was so pleasant and friendly with everyone. The weather was wonderful and I can see how this might make or break it if you want to sit on top. Be aware that is takes a bit of nimbleness to ride on top. Good alternative to marine tours that are closed in November.

I'll be honest: I'm an English teacher on a strict budget, and this was the cheapest Koh Samui island tour I could find, but I think it was a great value for the money. I went on the tour solo, and unfortunately the rest of the group (only four other people, so plenty of room in the van) were not very talkative, but the tour guide (Nicky) did a good job remaining upbeat and friendly even with the unresponsive group. I think having a Thai tour guide is best, because she could explain the local culture and traditions in detail with a personal touch. I wouldn't change anything about the tour, because I think the spots chosen were perfect for the length of the tour, but next time I would take a longer tour and hopefully see more sights in the remote areas of the island (I really loved the grandmother/grandfather rocks and the waterfall area).
