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!

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! 🌊☀️💙

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.

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.

Great experience for what it is but misleading advertising
Overall a 5 Star experience. Two, Ellen and Monkey-man are fantastic and honor of thier way to ensure you’re safe and having fun. Break, lunch and the snacks are great. The kayaking is a must and is one of the best things I’ve done in Thailand.
Small downsides you should be aware of.
Semi-private = about 35 ppl.
The Red Dragon yatch isn’t what any American or European would think of as a yatch but it’s nice enough.
Larger downside. The group is just a tad too large for the Red Dragon. Maybe 4-6 people less would be perfect but we were left standing at lunch waiting for a table.

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.

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.

A great day out seeing the hi-lights of Ko Samui
Grace met us on time at the tender wharf & was very friendly, kind & well informed guide. Our transport was excellent, lovely Thai luncheon overlooking the beach was included. Everything they said would be covered (& more) was done - all in all an excellent day out to visit Ko Samui & we’d highly recommend Grace, our guide.

Great value private tour
Great value private tour which took us all around the island seeing everything we wanted to and more. Our driver met us at Nathon Pier off our cruise ship and dropped us back safely in good time. He provided us with lots of helpful information and was extremely courteous throughout

Outstanding!
We had an absolutely amazing time! The boat rides were not as bad as expected, the islands were stunning and snorkelling was magnificent. The lunch on Koh Tao was SO delicious!! We couldn’t believe how good ! The entire experience was wonderful and probably our best day visiting Thailand !
Our boat guides were friendly and professional! Would highly recommend!!
