Overall we both enjoyed this trip as it took us to places we would not have seen otherwise. The only downside was that of our party of 12 we were the only Brits. Our fellow travellers were all German and, not unreasonably, our guide provided a great deal of time to giving explanations in german with little time for explanations in english. What would have added to our enjoyment would have been a wider mix of nationalities. Viator knows the make up of its groups so would suggest this is taken into account. It would also,have been helpful if there had been clearer information about the need for good trainers as the path alongside one of the waterfalls was impossible to do in walking saddles, which we were both wearing. Nevertheless we enjoyed the day.

Picked up promptly at our hotel, vechicle was clean with seat belts. Lunch at the tree top restaurant was lovely. The tour was everything it says. My only moan was our guides English was poor, we were the only English tourist on the tour the other eight being German. However he was fun and did go that bit extra when I dropped my sunglasses in the waterfall and he found them

All German speaking. we were left out. The guide speak more german and does not speak english well. _br/_ And when we ask what time should we be back and he gave us an angry face saying we did not listen to instructions. But hey, he's english is terrible....in the end, there is still no time line given on what time and where to meet._br/_ Also, 2 german ladies went missing for an hour all because in my opinion the instructions given was not clear._br/_ Book this tour at your own risk.

This was a decent tour of the island all though a bit hokey. The itinerary included:_br/_ 8:30am pick up. There were 8 in our Hilux and 6 in the other car._br/_ 9-11am: Waterfall 1 and 2, both were large and pretty, but they were in adventure parks or in a row of shops near elephant trekking. Not exactly remote. We apparently could swim but it didn't look very inviting so we did not. We were given 50 minutes at each spot, but it only took 10 minutes, and there was plenty of time to shop..._br/_ 11-12: _br/_ Mummified Monk Temple: very unique temple with a mummified monk in a display case_br/_ Magic Garden: a hokey garden of concrete figures. Took about 10 minutes to walk through, but we were given 50 minutes so we could again buy things..._br/_ 12:30-1:30 was lunch which was actually nice. It was remote and up a mountain with a view of the forest. Lunch included soup and 2 main dishes with rice._br/_ 1:30-3pm: jeeping up in the hills. This part was actually fun. Ride was bumpy, but our car was not as bumpy as the other car, which seemed to be hitting each and every bump with ferocity. We had a view points which were really nice._br/_ 3-430pm: Drive around the island back to the hotel. While up on the mountain they made a point of asking about tips and passing around a tip box - it honestly felt more like a bribe to take us back to our hotels and was pretty tacky.

It was an amazing trip. The waterfalls were beautiful. The jeep ride was a little rough, we really enjoyed it, but if you have a bad back this might not be for you.
Review by: Martin S, February 2017
Actual driving over rougher terrain in jeep was good fun, but there was a lot of stopping off at places without any explanation of where we were or what we were looking at. Our driver was friendly and talkative, and one of the other drivers tried to explain a bit about the farm that we stopped at, but the actual guide really did not tell us anything at all, and might as well of not been there!

Very nice trip, professional drivers, good overwie of all most famous places in samui, real off-road through jungles, nice diner in local cafe deep in jungles. The only thing - we were rather surprised for asking additional tips for drivers, it is no characteristic for Thailand, ussually price include also all tips.

Very nice way to see a lot of Koh Samui in about a 7-8 hour day. Awesome lunch up on a mountain made by a lovely family, home cooked, fresh Thai food, delish. Tour guides were very informative and shared a lot of great info.

I would not really recommed the tour it was fun at the end with some off road riding but the beginning with the area with waterfalls and sightseeing not worth the money. Water was dirty not for swimming and the day as long. Go to crystal beach instead for the day amazing beach and great etc

The tour was great, only 3 people but a fabulous guide, magic scenery, a delicious lunch and swimming under a waterfall. A great way to see Koh Samui.

This tour was so much fun. Our guide and drivers were fantastic. The guide spoke English, German and Thai. This tour is a must, you get to see some of the tourist places at the start but then you get to go up into the middle of the island which is amazing.

We had so much fun on this tour. We started off with some typical tourist destinations but the guide was so informative that even those seemed special. The trip up the mountain was a blast and it felt like a private tour. We were the only jeep around. The driver was very experianced and the guide gave us wonderful information about Thai people and culture. We had an amazing day.

What an amazing way to see the interior beauty of Samui! This tour was truly unbelievable. Riding in the back of the Jeep gave you an amazing view of every part of the island. The waterfalls were great, all the temples were beautiful, and riding up into the jungle was an adventure all of its own. We had lunch in a tree house in the middle of the jungle and it was unreal! There was only one other couple and the two tour guides, and we all had a great time! I've never seen more breathtaking views. We spent the whole day all over the island and it was one of our best days of our trip! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Nothing remarkable about this modest tour which takes in a few local tourist sites including a couple of small waterfalls and a probably abusive elephant adventure ride, but still fun bouncing around the back of a small pickup along tiny rough backroads of a mountain plantation. Tasty lunch in a remote tiny jungle restaurant.

very poor tour.
Review by: Jaymie D, December 2013
If you don't mind being thrown about in a safari jeep you will defiantly have a great day, there was people of all ages on our trips and everyone enjoyed it. The drivers who run the trip were great, the banter they had between each other made for great entertainment. Excellent trip if only all our trips in Thailand was as good as this!
