Highlights

Samui Explorers Off-Road 4x4 Private tour, if perfect for those wanting to explore Koh Samui avoiding the tourist areas, and off the beaten track. Our Off-Road 4x4 Tour is unique to any others on Samui. The Itinerary was built based around all my favourite places I have hiked to, from the bottom to the top. Throughout the tour, passing breathtaking views. Stopping on route for photographic opportunities. It is not in any way an extreme crazy safari tour. Our English speaking drivers take great care, and safety at all times. Our drivers have excellent knowledge of Koh Samui and working with nationalities around the globe Myself being British, communication is easy, therefore your desires are fully understood and all things taking into account when recommending the perfect tour. The Itinerary can be customised at an additional fee 250 baht paid on the day to the driver.

  • 5Off the beaten track in Koh Samui

    I had a wonderful tour through the interior of Koh Samui with my guide and driver Tokky. I wanted to see the views and the natural beauty away from the crowds and that’s what I got. Michelle was helpful in organising the itinerary.

  • 5What a great day

    Absolutely brilliant day. We contacted super last minute, late the night before and they replied early the next morning and got it all organised and booked for a 10am pick up. The day was perfect and was personalised to what we wanted to see. Great guide, extremely friendly and informative. Would recommend to everyone!

  • 5An amazing day in the mountains

    Going off-road with Johnny was one of the greatest experiences we had so far. Sitting on top of the car on those bumpy dirt roads was amazing, even better than dune safari. We loved the magic garden, all the views and definitely the good vibes Johnny had.

  • 56 hour private tour

    We had a wonderful experience using Samui Explorer. We did a private tour and our day was so great. Johnny picked us up from our hotel, on time. He was an absolute delight, stopping along the way to pick fruit for us to try. Michelle was so easy to communicate with and she really hit the brief on what sort of tour we wanted to do. Would highly recommend using Samui Explorer

  • 5Great 4x4 Tour Of Koh Samui

    What a great day out. Our driver Jonny was an absolute star(he's not a guide but will try and share things with you on the journey). We were taken up in to the mountains to the Tree Bridge Zipline, where you can participate in the ziplines if you wish(we didn't on this day but came back later on in the week), we did have a drink in the cafe though to enjoy the views. This is also where to view the waterfall but due to lack of rainfall we didn't bother as it's more of a mosquito pit without the water falling. We then carried on up the mountain for a lovely spot of lunch with a fantastic view of the island. We saw a couple of temples and big buddhas. Our itinerary was adapted en-route so we could go to the magic garden and ended up in wat plai laem. Overall a very enjoyable day out and would highly recommend for all the family.

About Koh Samui

Koh Samui is a Thai island in the Gulf of Thailand, with coconut palms, white beaches, a giant golden Buddha and a base for nearby marine parks.

Koh Samui, one of Thailand's largest islands, is ringed by coconut palms and beaches, with a hilly jungle interior. Chaweng has the longest stretch of white sand and the liveliest nightlife, Lamai is quieter, and Bophut's Fisherman's Village keeps old wooden shophouses by the shore. On a small islet joined to the north-east shore by a causeway, the 12-metre seated Big Buddha looks across the water.

Top-ranked sights in Koh Samui: Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk), Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai), Na Muang Waterfall.
