Samui Excursions

Koh Samui – Beaches, Islands & Boat Trips in the Gulf of Thailand

Koh Samui is Thailand’s third largest island, a short flight or an overnight ferry from Bangkok in the Gulf of Thailand. Once a quiet coconut-farming community, it is now one of Thailand’s most popular island destinations, known for palm-fringed beaches, laid-back beach clubs and easy access to the smaller islands around it.

From Koh Samui you can reach some of the best snorkelling and diving spots in the Gulf of Thailand in a single day, as well as the island’s own temples, waterfalls and elephant camps. Our Samui excursions cover the most popular boat trips – VIP Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan, Angthong National Marine Park and Koh Madsum (Pig Island) & Koh Tan – plus minivan and 4x4 sightseeing tours, elephant experiences, and day and night fishing trips.
