Great tour around koh samui with an excellent guide - tailored things to our vague guidance with some great suggestions, and was great at explaining a number of the temples.

Yankee was a great guide and his English was so good. He was respectful of us and our well-being and made sure we had a great experience at every opportunity. I’d highly recommend the trip.

Really enjoyed our 6 hour private tour with Noon. There were 4 of us - husband and I with our two teenage boys.
One of the boys doesn’t enjoy the heat so I’d asked for a 4x4 tour to some cooler locations (such as up in the mountains) but Noon kindly turned up in an air conditioned 4x4 so we could access all the mountain sites but also benefit from the AC. It was very thoughtful of him and meant the whole family really enjoyed the day out.
Noon asked us what we wanted to see and made some suggestions and then planned out the day.
We started with the Big Buddha temples and then headed up into the mountains. It was a few degrees cooler up there and very pleasant and breezy. We stopped at some viewpoints and it was on these stops that we saw huge jackfruits growing in trees, an enormous golden orb spider, coconut and fruit farms and the sap running from rubber trees. Noon also talked to us about life for people on Kon Samui.
We had a good and cheap lunch at a mountain restaurant (which had a small pool) and then went to the temple at the highest point of the island. Climbing up to the top we were able to see around all of the island.
The roads (and sometimes just dirt tracks) were extremely steep and Noon negotiated them all brilliantly.
We then descended to the secret garden which was cool and tranquil. The fish in the river nibbled at our hands and the boys climbed all over the rocks. We then went to see the mummified monk (a most peculiar visit!) and finally onto Crystal bay for some snorkelling.
My favourite event was driving along behind a truck load of coconuts, with two macaque monkeys (trained to pick the coconuts) sitting on top.
Would highly recommend this tour. For me the beauty is having all the insights into what Koh Sami is like beyond the tourist strip of restaurants and shops. I loved seeing all the unusual animals and plants. Do check out Mr Samui’s website and book direct as it is significantly cheaper than booking through Tri Ad.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
