On the Authentic Samui Experience, participants will escape the crowds and explore the island’s cultural highlights from a local’s perspective.

Starting early, the tour allows guests to witness the serene sight of monks walking barefoot through neighborhoods as locals offer food to make merit. It’s an ideal time to visit the island’s tranquil temples, such as Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem, before the crowds arrive. Enjoy the peace and reflect quietly while admiring their beauty. The tour also includes a visit to the Hinta Hinyai (Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks), along with hidden gems of the island that might otherwise go unnoticed.

This experience provides exceptional photo opportunities, enabling participants 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 plenty of time to relax and enjoy the rest of the day at a hotel or villa.
