Things to know
About the Activity
On the Authentic Samui Experience, you'll escape the crowds and explore the island’s cultural highlights from a local's perspective. The early start allows you to witness the peaceful sight of monks walking barefoot through neighborhoods as locals offer food to make merit. It's the perfect time to visit the island’s serene temples, such as Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem, before the crowds arrive. Enjoy the tranquility and reflect in peace as you take in their beauty. The tour also includes a visit to the Hinta Hinyai (Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks), along with hidden gems of the island you might not have discovered before. This experience offers exceptional photo opportunities, allowing you to capture stunning, crowd-free images of Samui’s most iconic sites. Beginning early in the morning, the tour offers a unique way to enjoy the island and leaves you with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the rest of your day at your hotel or villa.8 hours
