The tour day

Morning Pick-up
Jump into our comfy AC-minibus around 8:30 a.m! We’ll swing by your hotel and head over to the first stop (North Samui). We’ll pick up some other fellow explorers along the way, so it’s a great time to get into the island mood.
Wat Plai Laem
The Wat Plai Laem is the largest Buddhist temple complex in Samui and shows Guanyin, the goddess of mercy and compassion. Here, you will get an insight into Chinese-Thai beliefs as artistic Buddhist themes and architecture. The temple and the art techniques used to create it are centuries old and based on old beliefs.
Viewpoint
Lad Koh is one of the largest viewpoints on Koh Samui and is located between Chaweng and Lamai. From here you have an unforgettable view over the beach of Chaweng and the Gulf of Thailand. Many locals bring offerings to the nearby memorial in the early morning.
Hin Ta & Hin Yai
From here we will drive to the famous grandfather and grandmother rocks in the south of Samui's island. It represents a bizarre rock formation that is reminiscent of the male and female sex. You will get more information on the prehistory of its origins on-site from our multilingual, trained tour guides.
Overlap Stone
A natural wonder on Koh Samui. Difficult to reach for many tourists, the huge mineral stone is perfectly balanced on a natural rock platform. With a fabulous view over the tropical landscape with a view of the sea, you stand here in untouched nature and can enjoy an unforgettable moment of absolute peace.
Mummified Monk
A special insight into Thai culture is the mummified monk Luong Pordaeng. He died in 1973 in a meditative sitting position. The body of the deceased, who has died for over 30 years, shows hardly any signs of decay and is on display in a glass display case in the temple Wat Khunaram in the south of the island.
Na Muang Waterfall 1
The Na Muang Waterfall 1 is one of the most popular waterfalls on Koh Samui. Due to its large natural swimming pool and high water level all year round, many visitors and locals come to see the natural spectacle. In contrast to many other waterfalls on Koh Samui, the access here is very pleasant.
We bring you back
Around 2:45 p.m. we will drive you safe back to your place. We'll be dropping everyone off one by one along the way, so just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Mit Abstand der beste und freundlichste Reiseleiter, den wir je gehabt haben. Lars beherrscht deutsch englisch und Thailändisch fließend und weiß auf alle Fragen eine Antwort. Er macht Fotos und Videos an den Spots und hat immer einen Witz parat. Ich würde den Ausflug nur wegen Lars sofort wieder buchen. Die Länge der Aufenthalte wurde individuell an die Gruppe angepasst. …

Es war eine sehr angenehme Tour mit einer überschaubaren Gruppe. Wir waren 2 Vans mit 2 Guides, in englisch- und deutsch-sprachig. Lars hat uns super betreut. Wir konnten viel über die Insel erfahren. Alle Fragen wurden gerne beantwortet. Besonders schön war der Besuch bei den Overlape Stones, wo man mit OffRoads hochgefahren wird und das Baden am Wasserfall. Die Tour ist …

Der Ausflug war sehr kurzweilig und informativ. Wir wurden bestens betreut und immer wieder mit Getränken versorgt. An jedem Punkt blieb genügend Zeit um in Ruhe zu schauen. Unser deutschsprachiger Guide kannte sich hervorragend aus und wir wurden nicht nur mit allen Informationen zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten versorgt, sondern bekamen viele interessante zusätzliche Einblicke …

Der Ausflug mit dem deutschsprachigen Lars war fantastisch. Er hat uns sehr viel erklärt aber auch vieles gezeigt. Softdrinks inklusive. Ich kann diesen Ausflug zu 101% weiterempfehlen. Was ich nicht so schön fand, der Sitz auf der letzten Bank. Vielleicht liegt es an meinem Alter, aber ich konnte kaum verstehen, was Lars vorne gesagt hat. War aber nicht weiter schlimm, …
Kylie Lamb★★★★★
Had a great tour of the island from a brilliant, friendly and extremely knowledgeable tour guide called Lars. We got to see all the main points of interest and were given lots of interesting info, but not so much that it became boring. There was a constant supply of drinks and could use umbrellas for the sun as it was a very hot day. The bus was a welcome cooling break. …
