Koh Samui Half-Day Private Luxury Island Tour (Big Buddha, Na Muang & Hin Ta Hin Yai)
Select participants and date
You step into a low-slung Mercedes and the island breathes around you: palms leaning over a ribbon of coastal road, the Gulf of Thailand daring you to look away. In four hours a licensed chauffeur will steer through narrow lanes and seafront boulevards, pausing at the landmarks that shape Koh Samui’s identity—the gold-cast Big Buddha, the weathered grandparents of Hin Ta Hin Yai, a secretive mummified monk and the green plunge pool of Na Muang.

Adventure Tips
Morning light is best
Book a morning departure to avoid midday heat and get cleaner photos at Chaweng Viewpoint and the beaches.
Temple dress code
Bring a sarong or have shoulders and knees covered before entering Big Buddha and Wat Khunaram to show respect and avoid denied entry.
Bring swimwear for Na Muang
If you want to paddle in the pool below the falls, bring quick-dry shorts and a small towel; flow is best during/after the rainy months.
Pack light and charged
Carry a small daypack with sunscreen, phone charger and a reusable bottle—cold water is provided but refills help reduce waste.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Monitor lizards occasionally near Na Muang pools
- Tropical birds such as kingfishers and bulbuls in the island’s jungle patches
History
Koh Samui’s modern tourism boom began in the 1970s even as traditional coconut-farming communities persisted; many sites combine natural formations with local folklore.
Conservation
Water supply and plastic waste are ongoing concerns—use refillable bottles and avoid single-use plastics; stick to marked paths at waterfalls to limit erosion.
