Everything Was Perfect!
Very impressed. Staff addressed me by name! The tour leader brought his best energy to the trip. Safety, facilities, equipment top-notch! Beautifully prepared picnic and snacks. I appreciated the included pickup and dropoff as my accommodation was far from the meeting place. Great value for everything received and team/family ambiance of the crew. Would repeat and recommend!

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 🐘💕

Great six hour tour of the main points of the Island
Great way to see the Island and at our pace: doing all the same visits as others but so private and not rushed like with dozens of others. If you want a private experience this is a great way to do it. Very nice driver,’local and with great insights. A tip, when booking on the laptop the cost of the trip was significantly less than when booking on the app. So take a look, it may save you some $$
Lovely day.

Great varied day out
Trip with "Happy Samui tours". Well organised, despite fact we booked late the day before. Picked up on time, and a nice varied day out, Waterfall, Elephants, Jungle roads up to nice lunch & view point, Buddah and finally down to old riverside Secret Garden. Good staff, informative & friendly & all round a nice day trip out & worth the money.
Sitting on the roof of the 4 wheel drive heading up the mountains - was my daughter choice for the thrill 🤣 .. and we survived, with a lot of screams and laughs.
Nice trip "Happy Sumei" .. thank you.

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!

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.

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

Awesome short tour of Samui island with our driver Laem
Very easy booking, let us choose our own itinerary but made recommendations to make the most of our time. Our driver (Laem, excuse my spelling) was early to our hotel. We rode in a very nice, newer minibus with good air conditioning, and ice cold water was provided during the trip. Our driver spoke excellent English and communicated very well, and was able to share facts and points of interest along our route. We had plenty of time to explore each location at our own pace and he even took photos for us. The day ended with him bringing us to a local food market where he pointed out some of his personal favorites and even helped us order and get the food packaged up to bring back to our hotel. The service was above and beyond and really made our tour experience memorable. Would highly recommend for a private tour of the island with a local touch!

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. 🙏

This ATV tour was a great...
This ATV tour was a great experience from start to finish. Pickup and organisation were smooth with Rick being very responsive to our questions beforehand. Our guide was very patient throughout and took the time to make sure everyone felt comfortable and confident before and during the ride. The route was fun with a good mix of terrain and scenery. Overall, it was well run and an enjoyable activity that we would happily recommend.

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.
