• Tours are fully customizable, meaning you are able to spend as much time at each attraction as you wish • Our Semi-Private excursions are intimate tours – with each group on a private air-conditioned minivan and maximum 3 minivans lead by our tour guide • We do our best to follow times and routes that are designed to stay away from large groups of tourists so our guests can discover Koh Samui and its surroundings intimately at a relaxed pace. • Tours are led by local licensed guides with the highest safety standards on Koh Samui • We are committed to getting you back to the cruise ship pier at the time you specified • On our semi-private option, our driver would be able to accommodate your request subject to guidance by our guide who will be responsible for the entire 3 minivans. We found that this arrangement provides a good level of service where the guide can explain the point of interest as well as provide information about Thai culture and practice of the day.

Inclusions: Dedicated air-conditioned minivan and professional driver, Professional English-speaking Tour guide, Bottled drinking water and soft drinks on board, Buffet lunch, Bottled water

Was a Beautiful trip.... one must do when in samui.... we were picked up from the hotel to the boat, we were greeted by the very friendly staff and Ron who was the manager. The boat was very nice with a friendly atmosphere. To our surprise they even made breakfast for us, which was so unexpected... we had a guide on the boat too.... Ron took us to some really nice hidden places where not many people have been. He guided us very very well and was so careful with all the safety on board.... the kids loved the kayaking..... and the best part was, we all got to enjoy as no one had to take photos, it was arranged with the boat, which was another surprise.... Then another highlight of this trip, lunch time.... the food was cooked on board.... and it was so so so good..... we were 16 of us on the boat and each one of us loved the food. Oh! Forgot to mention about the jacuzzi on the boat, it was awesome. Wonderful trip.... loved it, and would recommend everyone to do it.... Thankyou Ron and Thankyou to all the wonderful staff who took such good care of us ...

Samui Football Golf is an 18 hole footgolf course combined with a botanical garden and a great activity for either sports fans or the non-sporty as it combines a gentle walk in nature together with a fun and family friendly game for all. The tropical garden course twists and turns under the coconut palms and mango trees and through the jungle setting, giving many surprises and much variety as you play. Every hole is a different experience and the course is also well shaded, being home to over 350 species of tropical plants. The mix of lots of shared fun, a nice stroll and some friendly competition included too is hard to top and unlike other activities on the island which are done individually, this is good old-fashioned group fun. It gets you, your family and friends playing, laughing and enjoying the holiday fun together. The course is easy to reach, located on the beach road 10 minutes North from the main resort town of Chaweng and 5 minutes from the Big Buddha statue.

Inclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Footballs, Soft drink, Souvenir, Bottled water

Exclusions: Shoes can be hired for 100bt per per. Full amount is returned after playing

Our day trip was fantastic—we had many of the sites to ourselves (due, sadly, to the many covid-related cancellations). The crew and guides treated us like royalty and brought us to amazing places. The sea kayaking through the looming limestone islands was a high point.
