Thailand · KOH SAMUI TOURS
Samui works as a base as much as a beach. These 15 take in the Ang Thong marine park, the island-hopping runs to Pig Island and the 4WD safaris into the interior, each with its price and pickup arrangement.
9-hour Koh Samui cruise in Ang Thong National Park, with optional kayaking to Tum Rang, snorkeling, and a hike to the Blue Lagoon.
“I liked the hike and the beach at that island. Maybe it would be better to not eat lunch on the boat, because it was very crowded and hard to eat in peace.”
Koh Samui half-day highlights with hotel pickup, AC minivan, top temples, Lad Koh viewpoint, Na Muang waterfall, optional ethical elephant camp.
“Sonny was very informative and has a good sense of humor.”
Small-group Koh Samui island hopping to Pig Island and Koh Tean reefs, with lunch, snorkeling gear, and GSTC-guided low-impact travel.
“Such a fun day! So fun to go to see the cute pigs in pig island and snorkeling. Pickup to and from hotel! Our guide Nam Whun was wonderful and the best! Would book again!”
Koh Samui 4WD jungle safari: Na Muang waterfall swim, mummified monk, hilltop Thai lunch, Big Buddha views, water-fight fun.
“We booked a private tour and so pleased we did. From beginning to end, our guide John made the trip fun and memorable. We visited Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks (don’t forget to take a photo from a certain perspective!), the Mummified Monk (such a spiritual experience), waterfalls and Big Buddha and more. Lunch on top of the mountain with far reaching views was stunning and the food delicious. Riding atop the jeep was hilarious fun. I can’t remember laughing so much in one day. We absolutely 100% recommend it. Thank you so much, John. You made our trip absolutely fantastic!”
Full-day Angthong Marine Park tour from Koh Samui with hotel transfer, 3-deck boat, Thai meals, optional kayaking, and big viewpoint hikes.
“loved this activity! a must do while visiting koh samui! tour operators were efficient and on time, super friendly, and shared interesting knowledge about the national park. the two islands were stunning- definitely a highlight of our Thailand trip so far. highly recommend doing this tour and booking with this company! one con is, it is quite packed on the tours- but once you get on the island, I felt it was quite spacious and the boat visited the sites before peak busy times started.”
Speedboat half-day from Koh Samui to Pig Island and Koh Tan. Snorkel clear water, play with pigs, and enjoy buffet lunch.
“Great half day trip to see the pigs and have a little snorkel. Despite the weather not being on our side for some of the day, we had a great time. Our guide and the boat crew were fantastic. Lunch was also lovely. Highly recommend if you want to see Koh Mad sum. We did the trip with our five year old who also enjoyed it.”
Zipline through Koh Samui jungle and Tan Rua views, then relax at the 20 m Tree Bridge Cafe. Hotel pickup included, 2 hours.
“We had the best time, the zipline guides were fantastic. You get up there and it seems like chaos, but just roll with everything and it is seamless. Driver that picked us up from our hotel was a bit wild, tailgating etc. but amazing day.”
Ethical elephant home tour on Koh Samui with transfers, guided museum, elephant food-making, jungle walk, seed bombs, and baths.
“Really great experience to see Elephants up close and personal, learning about the rescue work they are doing to look after elephants is just fantastic, earlier in our trip we came across elephants that were used for people to ride on and it was horrible to see them like this, but the Elephant sanctuary we visited was great you can see the guides who look after these elephants love them and take really good care of them, we were up close and personal feeding them then had a walk through the jungle with them and left them to just be themselves which was excellent to see. Definitely a fantastic experience.”
Speedboat snorkeling at Koh Tan and Pig Island at Koh Mudsum, with kayaking, Thai lunch, and hotel pickup.
“Apart from being picked up a little earlier than really necessary (shoved in a bar for 45 minutes before the boat was ready) it was a really great day. The minibus found us fine, the journey down was good, and our guide (young guy) was really great throughout - shout out to him! Waters were a bit murky for snorkelling but we saw a bunch of fish inches away from us and then the pigs were amazing. 7 or 8 little piglets and a bunch of fatties. Food was great too and the drinks on the island aren’t a rip off. A great day :)”
Feed elephants yourself at an ethical Koh Samui sanctuary, enjoy a guided 1-hour visit in a small group, and leave with great photos.
“It was lovely to learn about the elephants and where they had been rescued from. our guide was very knowledgeable. so lovely to get up close and have a chance to feed these beautiful creatures.”
Ride authentic Koh Samui ATVs through jungle dirt tracks, viewpoints, and a seasonal waterfall stop, with hotel pickup for $57.
“What an amazing trip. I would do it again was great fun, guides were great fun to and knew who did and didn't want to go fast..... I have need for speed and a few focuses was taken off fast whilst the others were behind. Had lots of guides there to make sure everyone was ok! My daughter didn't like driving the quad and they happily took her quad bike back and she got on mine, nothing was too much trouble for them and the cafe we stopped at was beautiful and amazing. Could not fault it and have already recommended it to other travellers we have met.”
Koh Samui jungle tour with elephant sanctuary feeding, Na Muang Waterfall, Secret Buddha Garden, and Teepangkorn Temple views plus lunch.
“This is my second time booking a tour with Happy Samui. All the tour guides speak great English. Emma was nice and helpful. Upon reading some other reviews I worried about timing but actually it was perfect and we got to see all the sights without feeling rushed or feeling bored. They got this timing down to a science! Here is a quick outline of how the timing worked out. 9:30 picked up and gather three more couples 10-10:30 waterfall 10:30-10:40 drive to see elephants 10:40-11:20 make elephant food, feed elephants, take some pics (2 big and 2 babies) 11:20-11:45 drive to secret garden (1st couple on top of jeep)…”
Semi-private Ang Thong sunset cruise from Koh Samui with snorkeling, optional sea kayaking, Emerald Lake hike, and Thai-fusion meals.
“Our day out with the Red Dragon crew was amazing. The crew are so friendly and ready to make your experience magical! Monkey Boy was the best!!! He made sure to point out all the sea life while snorkeling to our kids (9 and 8). The food was so yummy and plentiful. The door to door transfer was top notch as well. Do not hesitate booking this trip!!! I will be recommending this tour to all friends coming to Koh Samui.”
A stress-free 4-hour Koh Samui highlights tour hitting temples, Big Buddha, viewpoints, a scenic rock, and Na Muang Waterfall.
“Good tour with interesting stops around Samui. Happy Samui Guide was very poor and no one could understand what he was saying or explaining about stops. We asked him to speak slower and he didn’t. That part was very disappointing.”
One day by speedboat from Koh Samui to Koh Tao and Nangyuan, with reef snorkeling, Thai buffet lunch, and a viewpoint hike.
“Excellent trip with a great guide! Thank you Big! The speedboat journey was as comfy as it could’ve been considering the distance. Great playlist! Snorkelling was fab we saw so many vibrant fish and corals. No turtles unfortunately but that can never be guaranteed! Lunch was tasty and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable.”
