Itinerary

Our driver will meet you at the arranged pickup time at your hotel, villa or meeting point. If you want to do the standard itinerary, we usually visit the following sights. The order may vary depending on your pickup location. Please write your pickup time in the customer's notes or contact us to confirm.

On the northeastern tip of the island, you can find Koh Samui's most famous sight: the Big Buddha. Climb the stairs to the top for a lovely view over Bangrak beach and enjoy the temple around it.

Wat Plai Laem is a colorful temple complex. You can easily spot the smiling Buddha and the 18-armed Buddha from far away. Between these two statues, there is a large temple. What makes this place special is that everything is surrounded by a peaceful pond. Buy some fish food at the entrance for the many catfish here.

See the bay of Chaweng from this viewpoint next to the sea. You can see planes landing and taking off and view the stretch of beach of Chaweng from high up.

The famous grandfather (Hin Ta) and grandmother rocks (Hin Yai) are located close to Lamai beach. The reason why these rocks are famous is because they resemble male and female genitalia. It's that simple!

One of the next stops on the itinerary can be the mummified monk. At Wat Kunnaram you can see the mummified body of a monk who died over 40 years ago. For Westerners this might be an uncomfortable sight. For Thai people the body of the monk is there to be worshipped and death is seen as an opportunity to be reborn in a next and better life.

As we make our way to the south, the next stop on the itinerary are the Namuang waterfalls, These are particularly interesting during or after the rainy season. Large amounts of water flow from the mountains above into a pool below. It's amazing to cool down here. Bring a swimming suit and towel if you want to go for a swim here!

At the end of the private island tour, our driver will bring you back to the meeting point. If you want to be dropped off elsewhere or need mopre time, please contact us so we can arrange that for you.

Yes that's possible. The costs are THB 500 per hour per van. You can pay that to the driver on pickup or during the day if you wish to extend the trip. Please inform us if you wish to do so.

If your hotel or villa is located up a steep hill, our vans won't be able to make the way up. In that case we set a meeting point close by. At a landmark or custom location that is closest to where you are staying.

The best time to visit the sights is after the rainy season and when the waters are calm. This is usually the case between February and August, but weather conditions may vary. You’ll find clear waters during the hot season in April and May, but make sure to bring sunscreen as it can be very hot! The minivans are equipped with air conditioning.

You can cancel your booking for free up until 24 hours in advance of the tour start date. That means you need to cancel no later than 23:59, 2 days before the tour date. We’ll refund you the deposit or you can choose to use it as an advance to a different booking or tour.

A deposit is required for all private tours if you chose to pay cash on tour option. After you submit your booking, we will send you an email with deposit payment instructions. Please note that your booking is not confirmed until we receive the deposit. This deposit helps us secure the van and arrange all services specifically for your group. We use secure and reliable payment channels to ensure your information is protected.
