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.

Great bunch of jeep drivers with a great and very funny and funny guide Johnny. It's just a pity that in all the places, except for the waterfalls, where we were about 40 minutes (even then, it was very little for a person to have time to take a bath), there was only 15 minutes of time for a tour. So the whole trip was at a frantic pace and trot and somehow we didn't enjoy it as much as we wanted.

Great day out, lots of sights with as much or as little time as we wanted to spend at each one. Our Guide, Mr A, was friendly and informative and great fun on the jeep driving. Recommend this as a great way to see the sights of Koh Samui in a fun way.

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!!
