Unforgettable experience! Fantastic tour, beautiful landscapes to take your breath away, beautiful people who shared the day with us and fun activities such as water battle! Many thanks to all the staff and especially to Johnny Depp who animated the day aboard his Black Pearl 4x4.

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.

We loved this trip. We are a family of 5 (3 small kids) and we all had a great time. All the stops were quite quick and it seemed a bit rushed. The bonus water fight in the jeeps at the end of the day was hilarious.
