Great trip where you get to experience many places on the island. But, when we came to the waterfall, there were elephants there you could feed or ride. These elephants were really suffering, they stood chained up in 40-50 cm long chains, and they were rugging back and forth in vain. This is clearly animal abuse, and it ruined the experience in a second. Even though the guide did not tell us to ride or feed the elephants, it is clear that the demand for rides increases due to the trip having a stop here. Never support elephant abuse, please!

I did not like the situation the elephants were in that we passed on our way to the Waterfall. They were chained up, wearing little benches for sitting on their backs and they were pacing back and forth, clearly in distress. Please do not support! Other than that it was a great day. The time at the attractions were enough and the food was also delicious. Thanks again!

Fun way to see the hot tourist sites on Koh Samui. The view at the top of the mountain, and sitting on top of the car to get up there, were definitely the highlights. The temples, statues and other stops, including the waterfall, are nothing to write home about, but that’s not this tour’s fault, and it still makes for an interesting day. The guides were friendly, helpful, and a good laugh. The food at the lunch stop was fine. WARNING to anyone who, like us, might find it upsetting - the car park at the Namuang Waterfall has a number of penned, saddled elephants at the side with a stand selling bananas to feed them. This was a shock and not expected. Also take a rain coat because if it rains the car is open top and you will get soaked!
