The tour day
Morning Pick-up
We will pick you up in an air-conditioned minibus at the port and then guide you to the south of Koh Samui. Our employees are waiting for you to arrive, between 9:00 & 9:45, at the arrival port of Nathon! (Meeting point!) The excursion starts earliest at 9:00 a.m. or the latest 9:45 a.m.! It is assumed that you will reach the meeting point on time!
Baby Buddha Jaidee
This temple area is definitely the one with the best view of Koh Samui! The Khao Chedi (Baby Buddha Jaidee) is located at the end of Bang Kao beach in the south of Koh Samui Island. Located on a hill, it offers a beautiful view all over Bang Kao Bay and the stunning neighboring islands of Koh Tan and Koh Madsum.
Elephant feeding
We will prepare a very healthy and nutritious meal for the 2 elephants together. You will then have enough time to feed and make pictures with the elephants. It is a unique and unforgettable experience to come so close to an elephant and feed its cold, rough, powerful trunk. Around 40-50 minutes we will be here.
Na Muang Waterfall
The Na Muang Waterfall 1 is one of the most popular waterfalls on Koh Samui. Due to the 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 easy.
Lunch
The next stop is on a nice beachfront restaurant in the south of the Coconut Island. With a wonderful view over the gulf from Thailand, you will be served a delicious, traditional Thai lunch. The following dishes will be served: Fried Chicken, Vegetable oyster sauce, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Fried Rice, and seasonal fruits.
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.
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.
Big Buddha
The 12 meters high Big Buddha was opened in 1972 and is the landmark of Koh Samui. It is located in the northeast of Samui on a small island (Koh Fan) which is connected to Samui by a bridge. From there you have a sensational view of the coast and the Bangrak pier.
Fisherman's Village
The Fisherman's Village is a historical part of Samui. The country-style buildings house boutiques, massage shops, trendy restaurants and a small selection of hotels along the beachfront promenade. Here you have time to stroll around or linger at one of the numerous beach bars.
We bring you back
Around 3:00 p.m. we will bring you back to the port of Nathon where you will arrive around 4:00 p.m. You will receive a back-to-ship guarantee from us, with which we assure you that you will still reach the last possible tender boat before the cruiser ship will depart!
