The tour starts with a pickup from your hotel or villa on Koh Samui. From here we make our way south to Namuang Waterfall. During and after rainy season, this waterfall is quite powerful. The pool below is a great way to cool off during any hot day. You can have a swim here (don’t forget a towel and bathing suit) or just walk around and take pictures of the waterfall and the jungle around it.
Samui Elephant Home
Our next stop is Samui Elephant Home, a sanctuary with a long history of saving these giants that used to work in the tourism or logging industry. Here we follow a 1-hour program of preparing and feeding food to the elephants. Kids will love it! You will get to know everything about why these sanctuaries need to exist. By visiting you are helping to save more elephants for the good cause!
Magic Buddha Garden
We then make our way up the mountains and through the jungle to visit the hidden Magic Buddha Garden. This collection of statues can be found in the south of Koh Samui and is an amazing photo opportunity. As it’s far away from the tourist attractions, you’ll be sure to be one of just a few who have visited this place. It’s very much worth it though!
360-degree views from restaurant and Teepangkorn Temple
Getting hungry yet? Let’s go even higher and visit a mountain restaurant with 360-degree views of the whole island. It’s a bit cooler here and you can enjoy the amazing views with a tasty Thai lunch. We have vegetarian and halal options available. Relax a bit here, take the necessary photos and we’re off to the last stop of the day: Teepangkorn Temple. We drive on off-road tracks to make it to the very top of the island. Here you can find a temple and large Buddha statue. The sounds of the island fade away here. Walk up the temple for the ultimate view or take a stroll around the buildings here.
The tour ends with a return transfer to your hotel. We drive down the hills, through the jungle and back to where we picked you up in the morning. The hidden Jungle tour with elephant feeding ends here!

Itinerary
We start the day with a pick-up from your hotel or villa on Koh Samui. The exact time will be confirmed with you after booking, depending on the location of your stay.
We arrive at the breathtaking Namuang Waterfall. Here, you can jump in the refreshing pool below it or relax and view the water flowing down from the rocks above it. Make sure to bring your own swimming suit and towel if you plan to take a dip.
Next, we will guide you to the Elephant camp at Samui Elephant Home. Our guide will brief you on the activities before introducing you to the gentle elephants. We prepare nutritious, vitamin-enriched food for them, followed by a feeding session where you can also take some lovely pics. Remember to bring some comfortable clothes and shoes if you plan to get up close with the elephants!
Our next stop is the hidden Magic Garden, where you can walk around in a Tomb Raider like setting. All the statues here come with their own unique story.
We make our way further up the mountains to visit a 360-degree viewpoint at Teepangkorn Temple. Not a lot of people get to see this place: it's far away and not easy to get to. Check out the breathtaking views of our beautiful island here.
We enjoy a tasty Thai-style lunch while enjoying 360-degree views of Samui here. You can also relax by the pool.
We will transfer you back to your home, carrying with you the joy and memories of a day spent in the embrace of Koh Samui's natural beauty.

That 4WD ride up the jungle tracks to the temple is worth the price of the tour on its own.
I asked the guide on the way back if the same elephants had been there since the sanctuary opened and he told me some of their stories in detail – one had been rescued from a tourist camp where it had been forced to carry people for 14 hours a day. Understanding that background made the time I spent feeding her feel like the most important thing I did in Thailand.
