Wir hatten als Familie eine 2-stündige Quadtour, gebucht und wurden sehr positiv überrascht. Die Söhne sind 16 und 19 und daher selbst gefahren. Wir hatten als Familie zwei Guides und waren für uns, es gab also keine große Gruppe, bei der immer auf jemanden gewartet werden musste, sondern nur auf mich ;-) und hier hatten sich die Guides dann abgesprochen. Der Spaß war entsprechend groß. Bei der 2-stündigen Tour konnten wir vom höchsten Punkt Koh Samuis die Landschaft bewundern und den großen Buddha. Der Fahrspaß war so groß, dass meine Männer nochmals eine 1-Stündige Tour gebucht haben nur um nochmals fahren zu können und auch hier waren sie allein als Gruppe unterwegs. Man sollte dabei jedoch nicht empfindlich sein, was Dreck angeht, denn der Sand wird ordentlich aufgewirbelt. Da wir schon in vielen Urlauben ähnliche Ausflüge gebucht hatten, können wir sagen, dass diese Quadtouren die bisher Besten waren und kaum zu toppen sind.

Great half day tour, from booking the night before for a next morning trip everything was well communicated and very promptly. The tour itself was made so much better by our guide and driver who took great care of us for the whole trip. Our guide was knowledgeable, courteous and interacted with us for the majority of the trip. Would recommend 👍🏻

Wir haben heute die Tour zum Angthong NationalPark gemacht. Die Tour ist sehr gut organisiert. Sehr nettes zuvorkommendes Personal, gutes Essen. Ich habe meine Schuhe im Bus vergessen. Eine Stunde später konnte ich sie schon an der Rezeption abholen. Einfach klasse. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Tag.

I highly recommend picking this company for the tours they do. We went looking for pink dolphins, which we saw, snorkeling and then pig island. Lunch was included. It was a fantastic day
