Start your tour around mid-afternoon with pickup from your accommodation and quick stops at two of Koh Samui’s famous temples. The first stop is the Big Buddha temple, aptly named for a 12-meter tall golden statue of a serene-looking Buddha. Climb to the top of the staircase and see the imposing statue up close in all its grandeur. Known for its colorful designs and mix of Chinese and Thai architecture, Wat Plai Laem’s most eye-catching feature is the huge statue of the 18-arm Guanyin, believed to be the goddess of mercy and compassion. Explore the colorful grounds and spot another large statue of a laughing monk before starting your jet ski adventure. Following a briefing from your instructor, board your jet ski and ride the waves, making the rounds of some of the island’s best beaches. Take in the long stretch of coastline at Bophut Beach, gaze at the turquoise waters of Maenam Beach, and admire the beautiful shores of Koh Som Beach. After a thrilling ride, make your way to the popular Fisherman’s Village for a spot of shopping. Walk by the numerous stalls and kiosks as you take in the products on display.

Wow this experience was super fun! I recommend it to anyone who comes to samui!! You get to see a lot and in a super fun way! We were in the jeep with nick this guy made the trip so much more fun and exacting, the water fight was the icing on top! Super recommend

Advertised as a half day tour. I got picked up first at 10.15am and dropped off at 7.15pm. Went solo and had the most amazing time seeing the island, the culture and the waterfalls. The staff were so friendly and had a great infectious energy!

Great experience, it couldn't have been better. The tour guide was fantastic, super personable, left as much time as we wanted at the individual stations. Booked a private tour! Great stops/ great impressions!

Visite exceptionnelle. Les jardins sont superbes.

It was just great! We had the chance to see everything by our own. Mr. A was a very good guide. We had enough time to see everything we wanted and more. The bath under the waterfall was amazing! Thank you!

Awesome adventure to live! Many sites visited in one day. I highly recommend
