Samui Elephant Kingdom Sanctuary tours

We had an amazing day with our guides, they really took the time to show everything and explain what we were doing. Our jeep with driver "spiderman" was hilarious. A must do for people staying in Koh Samui.

Great first-time Koh Samui tour This was a perfect first-time tour of Koh Samui, combining culture, nature, and scenic views. Wat Plai Laem and the Big Buddha Temple were peaceful and impressive, while Lad Koh View Point offered beautiful coastal views. Hin Ta Hin Yai was a fun and unique stop, and Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk) was a meaningful cultural experience. Ending the tour at Na Muang Waterfall was refreshing and relaxing. Well-paced and informative — highly recommended for first-time visitors to Koh Samui.

Well organised tour! Driver was punctual and patient with all members, trying his best to give us more info about each attraction. The lunch was satisfactory and any drinks ordered have to pay on your own. Highlight was the water fight between each vehicle. They gave advance warning that its going to be wet so everyone can change into appropriate gear and protect their belongings.

Well organized and professionally done tour. Friendly and helpful crew. Delicious lunch cooked by a local family.

Great tour!! Taxis can be quite expensive on the island so this was a brilliant way to see everywhere so cheap. And also, it wasn’t too long as some tours can be. Perfect amount of time spent at each place too and lovely air con van.

This one-day tour of the old city was such a great value, and it's all thanks to our guide, Michael Jackson (who calls himself the Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand)! He was full of energy all day, and his professionalism was absolutely top-notch. He's Thai, but he speaks fluent Chinese and English. When he explained the dynasty history in Chinese, his logic was incredibly clear, and there were no communication barriers at all. What impressed us most was that he even prepared beautiful historical materials and before-and-after comparison images, allowing us to compare the current state of the historical sites with how they looked in the past. History instantly came to life, and it wasn't just about looking at stone buildings anymore. During the tour, he was also very patient in teaching us to speak Thai. Under the hot Bangkok sun, he always thoughtfully helped us find shady spots to take pictures and listen to his explanations, making the tour relaxing and comfortable for us. I really hope every group can meet a guide as excellent as Michael Jackson. He added so much to this trip! If you have the chance to join this tour, be sure to request this "Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand!"

When visiting Phuket, island hopping and water activities are definitely the most enjoyable, but the boat rides can be quite long. It's essential to get a good night's sleep the night before, otherwise, the next day's boat trip will be unbearable. I recommend purchasing your tour online in advance; they will contact you via email regarding hotel pickup times. We had a comfortable, spacious 9-seater shared van. Upon arriving at the pier, there were coffee, drinks, some small cookies, and toast available, which is great for anyone who didn't have time for breakfast. Bottled water is free on the boat, and lunch is a buffet served on Phi Phi Island. On the return trip, fruit is provided. You don't need to bring much money if you don't plan on making additional purchases. At the end, the guide individually asked for tips (though you don't have to give one), which felt a bit awkward, but I was very grateful to the captain and crew, so I did tip them.

It was an all-round successful trip. The guide (Johnny) was super cool 😎, we had enough time for everything. The food was delicious, and the highlight was the water pistol challenge at the end. You'd love to have this experience again.
