    Full description

    Embark on a spectacular adventure up into the mountain and through the Jungle of Koh Samui and then down the other side. All safaris are conducted using authentic rugged ex-army jeeps. It is an exhilarating and rugged experience, but safety is always the highest priority. After pickup from your hotel on Ko Samui, travel to the first stop on the safari, the famous Grandfather/Grandmother Rocks. Next to the rocks is a quaint market selling all sorts of handmade Thai products and souvenirs.

    Then, head off to the largest waterfall on the island for a cool swim in the natural spring water. Visit the mummified monk statue in the glass case at the temple as seen on TV. After this ground-level experience, crank the vehicle into 4WD and head up into the mountain to impressive viewpoints located along the route to the top. Pass by local Thai farmers working their coconut farms in the forest.

    Stop for a delicious, traditional Thai lunch in the mountain-top restaurant with beautiful views of the island. After lunch, head to Buddha’s Magic Garden, with weird and wonderful statues all made by hand by one man over many years. Running through the garden is a quaint little stream, and above it is an old monk’s prayer room.

    Drive down the mountain and stop at the rubber-making plantation before heading toward the iconic Big Buddha. After an exhilarating day, you will be transferred back to the hotel in the evening.

    The tour was intense and in one day we were able to visit many of the island's points of interest. Our guide Johnny was fun and made everything very dynamic. The places visited were interesting and worth it. The only flaw is that maybe the times are sometimes a bit fast and that when you are in large groups sometimes the places are crowded. In any case it is an experience that I recommend because in a short time you can see a lot.

    Really great tour that covers the main sightseeing spots of the island. The jeep ride is an absolute highlight and for those who are not too squeamish, it is worth taking a ride on the roof. Our guide Johnny and his team were always super friendly and helpful. For the money you really get the whole day program, super recommendable in every respect!

    You get a lot for the price (Hin Ta and Hin Yai, Magic Garden, guan yu shrine, Viewpoint on the mountain, Na-Muang Waterfalls, Lunch on the mountaintop, Maenam Chinese Temple, Mummified Monk). The guides and drivers are very friendly. You drive almost half the island by jeep. So there should be something for everyone. However, what is misleading are both the picture of the ziplining and the waterslide. The slide is out of order because it is in a dilapidated condition and we could only swim in a small water hole that was about twice the size of a normal garden pool. For a group size of about 30 people, there wasn't enough room for everyone with an hour's bathing time. You don't hear anything about ziplining either. The facility is probably getting old. Therefore, 1 star deduction for the points just mentioned. Otherwise a great trip.
