Koh Samui Tours and Day Trips

Make the most of your time in this island paradise with our list of the best Koh Samui tours and day trips!

When you think of Koh Samui, you may believe it’s all about beaches and kicking back at the swimming pool of 5-star resorts.

And of course yes, the beaches around Koh Samui are gorgeous, as are the infinite pools. But there is so much more to do here.

Koh Samui is Thailand’s second-largest island, located in the Gulf of Thailand and is the queen in the trio of popular islands here, with the other two being Koh Phangan and Koh Tao.

The size of this idyllic island allows for a huge diversity in the lush landscapes here, from mountainous jungle in the centre to sprawling coconut plantations in the flats.

While it is a popular getaway for couples in Thailand thanks to its romantic appeal, for those of us who love adventure to fill the day there is an abundance of awesome Koh Samui day trips and tours to make the most of your time here.

Whether you want to chill on a white sand beach in Angthong Marine Park, learn about the cultural attractions of the local Thai population or find some other hidden gems, our guide to the top Koh Samui tours will point you in the right direction.

Visit the Ang Thong National Marine Park from Koh Samui

The minute you start to make plans to leave your accommodation, the very first thing you should do is book a Koh Samui day trip to Ang Thong Marine Park.

Located just 30km east from Koh Samui, the Ang Thong Marine Park is a stunning archipelago of 42 islands, and a tour out to explore the park is one of the best adventures you can do while you’re here.

A typical Koh Samui tour of Angthong National Marine Park will allow you to explore some of the best beaches and viewpoints in the string of islands, including Mae Koh Island, home to the stunning Emerald Lagoon.

There are a number of ways to get out there, all with local tour operators, but we personally recommend booking a trip that uses a speedboat rather than a longtail boat.

The reason is that you’ll have a lot more time on…
