Sea, jungle, culture, family fun: filter by mood and find your next adventure.
The most exhilarating way to see the island: ride an automatic ATV quad or a 4x4 side-by-side buggy through the mountain jungle above Maenam. Wide dirt tracks, Samui's highest viewpoints up to the Big Buddha panorama, then a jungle trail down to a hidden waterfall for a swim. Beginners welcome, no licence needed.
Our number-one day trip, in a small group capped at 16: a speedboat run through the 42 pristine islands of Ang Thong National Marine Park. Snorkel the reef at Koh Wao, climb to the viewpoint above the Hidden Emerald Lagoon, kayak around Koh Na Tub and eat a Thai buffet lunch on the beach. Booked through our partner GetYourGuide.
