These photos barely capture the incredible time we had on this trip. From start to finish, it was both enlightening and genuinely enjoyable. A special thanks to Jeff-an outstanding tour guide who didn't just take us to breathtaking snorkeling spots, but actually joined us in the water to share the experience. Master Jeff, you rock! In addition food and equipment were also really good!

Because it's a large boat, there are a lot of tourists. If you like to sunbathe, go to the third floor. Most people sit on the second floor; the engine on the first floor is too noisy. The food is good for a day trip. There's cake and coffee in the morning, and the fried chicken actually tastes pretty good for lunch. There are also banana cakes and drinks available in the afternoon, so the food is definitely a plus. A bottle of drinking water is provided for the morning itinerary. Climbing the mountain is not easy; the steps are very large, so be sure to wear comfortable athletic shoes. A large waterproof bag will be provided for the afternoon kayaking, so you don't need to bring your own. Remember to change into your swimsuit and flip-flops. The downside is that the large boat is relatively slow, taking 2 hours each way, and you have to change to a smaller boat to reach the island, which is quite tiring.

This is a must do actovity in Samui. I had an absolute blast. the views from the cafe & zipline are incredible. One line goes over a waterfall! You also feel very safe locked into the harness. The staff are also hilarious and cheeky. They will film you, so bring your phone in a zip pocket or compact saddle bag.

The most incredible experience, from the minute we got off the bus. Jay our Sanctuary guide was the best, with the best English I've heard since arriving to Koh Samui. This would have to be the most ethical Sanctuary I've ever seen, researched alot and the first one I've committed to going due to the way the elephants are kept, free, no restraints. Got to make their fave treat and feed them. Up close and personal experiences and they're they're for the treats not because they're forced to. It was just amazing from the minute we got there!

instructor: I did solo travel, and all the guides were attentive and made sure I was okay, which I appreciated! They were very knowledgeable and you can tell it they are experts at what they do. location: The location was gorgeous! I wasn’t expecting the amount of climbing, but the guide did say “no pain, no gain!”
