Touring Koh Samui can take as little or as much time as you’d like to dedicate to exploration. Circled by a ring road about 50 km long, you can undertake a magic mystery tour and follow the ocean around – or actually take to the seas and admire the island on a boat tour. Whatever your preference – bring a camera, sunscreen and sit ready to be impressed. Samui doesn’t disappoint.
Koh Samui tours by land
Tour the island by car. Rent a car and stop wherever fancy dictates. It takes a few hours to completely circle Samui and we highly recommend it. Along the way, be sure to stop at Samui’s two large waterfalls – Namuang I and II. Tour groups visit daily, go early if you prefer a quieter experience. (Be sure to wear slip-proof shoes like trainers/running shoes – add them to your Thailand packing list). As well, consider a few unusual Koh Samui attractions as part of your island adventure.
Koh Samui tours by boat
Snorkel at Angthong Marine Park. AngThong National Marine Park, visible in silhouette from the house at sunset, could easily be the highlight of your holiday: it’s just that beautiful. Can you see it above, in our sunset view? It’s sitting just along the horizon.
At AngThong – snorkelling, hiking and private beaches await. It’s possible to charter your own boat from the pier closest to our Choeng Mon location, about a 5-minute drive away. Allow a full day for the trip to and through AngThong’s many islands, and its small museum….
Long-tail boat tour. Enjoy a secluded beach and a day of snorkeling from a private long-tail boat. Refresh with a shower before a yummy dinner at Five Islands Restaurant. Pick-up service available. Contact Five Islands directly for booking.
Private island tours & sunset cruises. Many yacht charters offer sunset cruises on a variety of craft – catamarans, wooden junks, yachts & high-end speed boats. Inquire with a tour operator or have a quick Google to find an outfitter that suits your requirements.
Whatever your preference, rest assured Koh Samui is beautiful from just about every angle. If you’re more of a home-body, you might be well-content to explore our house tropical gardens, and watch the world go by from the poolside sala. With a wide ocean view, there’s always something different to see – a Samui tour that comes to you.
