The engine growls, salt spray picks at your face and the horizon opens into turquoise lanes between limestone outcrops — this is a Koh Samui jet ski safari. Launching from Bophut Beach in Fisherman’s Village, the tour threads you past coconut-fringed shores and toward small offshore islets where other boats rarely linger. Guides ride a short distance behind on their own skis, clearing the route and offering tips for corners and wind chop.
