Overview

• 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.

Itinerary

  • Nathon Pier

    Our staff will welcome you to Koh Samui upon your arrival at the cruise-ship pier.

    15 minutes

  • Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks

    Our first destination is the very famous rock formation of Hin Ta & Hin Yai (Grandfather and Grandmother), located at the idyllic Emerald Sea. Ask our guide about the Thai legend of this extraordinary rock formation.

    30 minutes

  • Guan-Yu Koh Samui Shrine

    Next, we will visit the Guan Yu shrine featuring a massive copy of Guan Yu`s head. The sculpture has a red face, which seems to radiate anger, and sits like an avenging force above the shrine complex. Guan Yu played a big role during the civil war that led to the demise of the Han Dynasty.

    30 minutes

  • Na Muang Waterfall

    Then we will go for a jungle walk along a dense jungle path which leads to Namuang Waterfall. You will be able to enjoy the beautiful cascade and surroundings or swim in the natural pools. Around noon we will stop for lunch so you can enjoy good Thai food next to the waterfalls.

    2 hours

  • Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk)

    After a short drive, you will arrive at the Mummified Monk Temple, another amazing and unique attraction of Koh Samui. Again, ask our guide about the story of this historic temple!

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    We will visit Samui’s “One Tambon One Product” cottage factory where coconut carved furniture is created. Here, you’ll see workers using simple traditional tools to make the wonderful coconut dishes. Standing out front is still the original factory that supplies all other souvenir shops across the island.

    30 minutes

  • Lipa Noi Beach

    If time allows, we will stop at Maenam or Lipa Noi beach for a final look at Samui´s amazing beaches. On the way back to the pier, you may stop for shopping at the local market in Nathong, the town next to the pier. Here you can find local foods and flavors, as well as many different shopping options before finally returning to the pier to board your cruise ship.

    1 hour

  • Nathon Pier

    On the way back to the pier, you may stop for shopping at the local market at Nathon town, where you will see intriguing produce, an array of strong smells, remarkable sights and exotic flavors in a surprisingly small roofed area.

    15 minutes

Saw most of Ko Samui in a one day shore trip excursion

Published on Feb, 2024

Great Tour around the island. Our guide “Tra” (sorry for the spelling) took us around the entire island and gave us lot of history and background information on what we were seeing. From coconut factory to all the religious sites to a great lunch with a fantastic view. Highly recommend this tour and our guide. Also felt very safe with the drivers skills.

Very enjoyable day

Published on Jan, 2024

The best cruise ever!

Published on Jul, 2023

The tour company provided a thoroughly professional service and great experience. They took care of every detail. The boat was luxurious and spacious with as much food and drink as you would need during the day. The kayaks were the best quality and the tour people provided us with guidance and information during the day. They were courteous and polite, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The snorkeling was breathtaking and we felt safe at all times. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone from couples to families. There was something for everyone.

Our cruise ship highlight

Published on Jul, 2018

What an amazing find! My group of 5 did this day tour from our cruise ship which docked nearby and I am so glad we found it. I would 100% recommend it as an alternative from the Cruise ship itineraries. We were picked up promptly and taken to the boat by a taxi and returned in plenty of time to catch the tender. The overall trip was great value. Regina was an entertaining and very helpful host also the food was more than enough and absolutely delicious. He did everything possible to make the day's snorkelling and swimming safe and exceptionally successful.

Elephants, monkeys, and local island attractions!

Published on Apr, 2018

Tours Ko Samui was very responsive before our visit to Ko Samui, and we were 100% happy with how the day turned out. Joyce and crew made sure we had a wonderful time: Joyce greeted us at the ship, walked us to our van, and was always present to make sure that we and the other guests (3 vans total) had all our questions answered and enjoyed the many wonderful sights and activities that Ko Samui has to offer. We loved the elephant ride (definitely pay to feed the elephants - it's so much fun!). We also loved visiting with the monkey and watching him pick coconuts atop a palm tree (the fresh coconut water hit the spot!). Grandmother and Grandfather rock is a good laugh, and the nearby vendors are kind and have fun wares and yummy food (once again, Joyce was there just when we needed her to translate). The lunch restaurant is in a beautiful jungle, and the food is excellent. And swimming at the beach capped off a perfect day. We had one day to see Ko Samui and Tours Ko Samui made it great. We hope to visit again one day!
