Nice tour, you get to see a lot of the island and the island's interior. Sometimes, you're allowed to ride on top of the off-road vehicles, which makes it all very adventurous.
Shooting at each other with water guns is a bit childish, but it was fun in itself (especially for the kids).
The downside of the tour is the waterfalls; they have been dry for three months due to insufficient rainfall. So, that location is a bit sad and dirty; it would have been better to skip it (and they should say that there's no water in the waterfalls before you buy the tour).

The best day of our holiday - and we had an amazing holiday!
Literally the best day. What a bargain. Taken to all the sites on the island. The most wonderful lunch at the top of the island. A hilarious water fight and brilliant camaraderie.
Cannot recommend this highly enough.
We had ‘Jonny Depp’ as our driver - awesome funny and entertaining.
Just do it

Days of high adventure! Best experience my family have on Samui for tour. We visited so many places and everything was amazing. I hope we can do agian. Really loved riding in and on the jeeps. Visited many temples and waterfalls. Went swimming and rocked a shotgun for few rounds. Restaurant at the top of Samui was good food and amazing view. Really loved our tour guides, they love their jobs!

We went on the Safari Tour without animals and enjoyed every second of it!
Pickup & drop-off went smoothly, the Jeep was in good technical condition, all the staff (drivers & tour guide) were super friendly and funny.
The tour was well-organized and time at the stops was mostly sufficient.

Great tour, great meals, amazing guides. Definitely must do to see entire Samui in a day. Very well planned.

Only downside is poor quality old jeeps so lot of air pollution, other tour agencies have latest 4x4 vehicles. They should upgrade.

Great day out viewing the parts of Koh Samui many tourists may not get to. The guides are great fun, the biblical waterfight over a couple of kilometres between 4 jeeps hysterical. They must have ditched anything involving animals some time ago, all we saw was a huge spider! Completely recommend this tour.

We did this tour today, it was so good!

It was so much fun riding round on the 4x4, especially when you got to go up top. You get to see all of Koh Samui’s attractions whilst having fun.

The lunch is really good as well, lots of it and a good variety and really tasty!

The best bit is the water fight, you do this whilst driving round the off beaten track roads and getting soaked.

The staff are so lovely and really make this tour fun too, I’d definitely recommend. Don’t miss this tour!

Such a fantastically fun day! We packed in so many great experiences, and had the perfect cocktail of adventure and culture. The guides had a lot of fun too and created an atmosphere of laughter and fun. We rode on the tops of jeeps while navigating our way down crazy mountain roads, WHILE having a watergun fight! Something I will never forget! If you have a short time on Koh Samui do this tour, and you will see so much of the island.

Had a great time on this tour with Mr A and the team! You've got to ride on top of the jeep. It's the highlight of the experience. Comparing this tour to others, I think the price to enjoyment ratio blows the competition out of the water.

We had a great day out around Koh Samui seeing all of the sights! The team are really good fun, super friendly and informative! The safari day is definitely worth the money and the lunch provided was absolutely gorgeous.
You’re driven around in old trucks which is really good fun, if you want to you can sit on the roof of the vehicle through the forest which is an amazing experience!
(Make sure to take a towel as there may be a water fight that leaves you drenched…It’s hilarious!)
All in all we had an absolutely brilliant day!

The reason I’m leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I hurt myself pretty badly on the day out. I don’t want this part of the review to come across as me blaming the team, as it was totally my fault. (I slipped over on some gravel and cut my knee pretty deep).
The team were really attentive and looked after me the best they could. They gave me water and sat me down and cleaned the cut. Unfortunately, they didn’t seem super prepared for someone getting hurt: (
They had a really old and pretty dirty box that had “first aid supplies” in it.
I was bleeding pretty heavily, as I have a rather sizeable crater in my leg, and one of the tour guides poured rubbing alcohol and iodine over my leg. He only had the cleaning stuff, small balls of cotton wood and some really small, old looking plasters. All the first aid stuff was all open (not sterile) and looked pretty worse for wear. It all happened very fast, but the gentlemen cleaning my leg with cotton didn’t wash or sanitise their hands which looked dirty: (they also insisted on placing tobacco on the cut on my leg to stop the bleeding. I looked this up and it has been used before to stop bleeding but I didn’t really want them to use it as I didn’t know if it was clean. I asked them not to and the convinced me it would help. My leg was left with lots of cotton wool in the cut and some small plasters holding it on. (Was pretty nasty peeling all the cotton wool off the wound a few hours later)
Sadly, even though I had my leg properly cleaned and bandaged when I got back to my hotel, I’ve now ended up with a pretty nasty infection: (
I would 100% recommend going on this awesome day out- just take your own first aid kit in case something like this happens!
I would also recommend that this company get a new, clean and fully kitted out first aid kit:)
Thank you for an amazing day and for looking after me the best you could!

We saw all tourist places in Samui thanks to the tour. We had great lunch with an amazing view. The best thing of the tour is that we sat on the top of jeep just like flying in the forest.

Staff and owners are always polite and look after you
Older safari trucks that add a bit of authentic feel of being in the jungle!
They pick you up in the morning and deliver you back to your resort or villa.
Plenty of photos to take that are unique to samui so charge your battery, i wore rugged shoes not flip flops.

Absolute rip-off. We pre-booked the full day (8 and a half hours) fishing and snorkling trip a month ago. Yesterday it was eventually the day and we were quite excited.
Day was off to a bad start when we were picked up from the hotel more than an hour late. The vehicle used to pick us up was totally unroadworthy and did not even have an instrument panel.
The driver drove like an absolute maniac at very high speeds in very narrow and busy streets.
This was unacceptable as we were sitting on benches on the back of a 4x4. After eventually arriving at the boat, we were on our way to the fishing location. As per the brochure you can try trawling from the back of the boat in an attempt at getting game fish. I asked but was ignored. We arrived at the fishing location and this turned out to be a reef with very small fish. We were 4 passangers plus the skipper an 1 crew member. Everybody was fishing and managed to catch a few small fish. My wife was lucky enough to get a skate. The skipper and his crew member has NO regard for under sized fish and kept every single fish which was caught. Only later on we realized that the promised BBQ on board turned out to be some of the small fish we caught cooked in tin foil.
After lunch and another few minutes of fishing we were told to get the lines out the water and the rods were quickly packed away as we were now going to the snorkling location. I again asked to trawl for game fish on route but was again ignored even though they understood exactly what I wanted.
The snorkling was OK but the reef we were taken to really looked rather dead.
After about 40 min of snorkling we were on our way back to the departure point. Again I asked to trawl and for the 3rd time I was ignored.
The brochure also said that the crew will clean the fish you caught and that you can then take it home. When arriving back at the "jetty" we were promptly led away and no mention was made of the fish we caught. It seems like it was shared between the skipper and his crew member before we even reached land.
Another high speed suicide drive back to the hotel followed and this was the end of a very disappointing trip.
My advise to anyone who would like to do an excursion which involves fishing will be to spend a little more and get your money's worth. Steer clear of this one.

We had a lot of fun. We booked the jungle safari to see a bit from Koh Samui.
We got directly informed in the hotel that it is an adventure tour and not a 5star deluxe ride, so we knew a little bit what would come.
After being collected at the resort we drove to pick up some other guests.
We have seen the mumifed monk, waterfalls, the magic garden etc.
Ok, the trucks are not new luxury SUVs, but this made it a lot funnier. Our driver Danq always had the complet control about his car, even in the deep jungle with the badest roads I ever seen.
If you are on your way for an adventure and not a ChiciMiki luxury fan, then you have to book this. You will habe fun, adventure and beautiful things to see.

Animal abuse all over the place. Never seen animals treated so badly. Do not go here if you have a heart. Animals deserve freedom not performing shows for tourists.
Please educate yourself about elephant trekking.

Absolute shambles of a company! I did the big Boop Boop tour and disclocated my shoulder and arm. They watched me struggle in the water while I was unable to swim due to the dislocation. I was in hospital majority of the day and I am having to rest my arm for a week which will not heal for up to 12 months. Ruined my final week of our honeymoon, this company has no idea what health and safety is.

Absolute shambles of a company! My husband and I did the big Boop Boop tour and he disclocated his shoulder and arm. They watched my husbandstruggle in the water while I was having to jump in and try and get him to the side of the pool with no help from staff. We were in hospital majority of the day and he ishaving to rest his arm for a week which will not heal for up to 12 months. Ruined our final week of our honeymoon, this company has no idea what health and safety is.
