Brilliant Jeep Safari Tour - Great day out, so exciting, lasted about 7 hours, such great value for money, saw loads of things plus had a nice lunch - if you are in the area, book it, don’t worry if you are of a mature age, it’s like being a kid again!

Fantastic Day with Samui Grand Safari Tour - We booked the trip to see some of the exciting places on the island and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. An exciting ride through jungle and un made roads to the highest part of Koh Samui. You even get the chance to sit on top of the roof for some of the ride. Very exciting. If you are very elderly or very unfit with back problems maybe this isn't the trip for you. We are both in ours 60's and we had a great time. Lots of interesting stops and the staff were super.

Best Samui Tour - The day was one of the best I’ve ever had. The driver “Eddie” was on top of his game. Was able to make changes in our tour on the fly. Extremely fun in the crow’s nest, over the cab. Was like a roller coaster. Would recommend for all.

Must to go! - It was something special. I thought it would be a light tour, going around, and visiting places but wow, that was an adventure to sit down on the car roof go up to the mountain, see jungles, see jungle animals (big big spiders) and so on. I really liked it. Our guide was very funny, and friendly but did not told much about the places and the English was hard to understand but still, good humor won our hearts!

Great fun including soweit background information on Samui - In September unfortunately the waterfall is short of water, it rather looks like a muddy puddle (a real pity for our children as this was what they were looking most forward to). All the other attractions really paid off!!
2 bottles of water during the day was fine as it was cloudy, with warmer weather it'd be quite little.

Great value and great day out - For the money this trip is we worth it. A full day in a 4 x 4 visiting various monuments and going up in the mountains. The only thing I didn’t like was the waterfall stop where you see elephants being used to ride and chained up 😞 this broke my heart! The last stop of the rocks is a bit deflating not that I want to see ricks that look like genitalia but you do need some imagination 😂. The best part for that stop is the coconut ice cream yummy! The guide FIFA was really good and the lunch was the best trip lunch lunch I’ve had it was really good and very tasty.

Value for $$ - A great fun experience, made even better by the very funny driver who went out of his way to have fun with his guests. Great buffet lunch and plenty of cold water provided. An excellent day out.

Animal cruelty - The temples were good and enjoyable, however, we were taken to a waterfall which had elephant trekking site in the car park. The elephants were shaking and chained up, which was blatant animal cruelty and distressing to view. Had we know this, we would not of booked. There are other companies that offer similar tours that do not go past this waterfall.
