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.

This is a good day out. You get picked up on the truck and explore spots around the island. You can meet some nice people and foods good. Highlight for me was the mummified monk and the water fight near the end. Main negative is this isn’t good value for money. You could rent a moped and visits all the areas for less then 1/4 of the price. But is it’s a enjoyable experience as a whole and an easy day out.

The trip was really wonderful. If I would have to pinpoint one point of improvement it would be the following: - in the description or confirmation email it is not mentioned that you will be visiting temples! Please be aware and bring appropriate attire with you! - at lunch they ask what you would like to drink, but conveniently forget to mention that this drink was not included in the day fare. It felt a bit like we were getting bamboozled which is not a nice feeling. Ext time just mention that the drinks are extra. I am sure no one would care and still order a drink. Highlights of the day: - waterfight - sitting on top of the jeep! - meeting lovely travellers from all over the world - the jokes of Johnny Depp Overall a great experience!!

Of all of things I did this month on Koh Samui, this was the best thing I decided to do. The guides are friendly and make sure we are where we are supposed to be, and kept everyone entertained. I got to meet people from all over the world. All of the sightseeing locations were beautiful, and I never would have made it to them without this tour. The icing on the cake: ever wanted to have a water gun fight in a moving jeep going up a mountain? You can do that here. And we did. I highly recommend giving this a try, I hope someday I can return with some friends.
