★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,956 reviews · 6 hours - 450 minutes · from $54Our pick

Join Mr. Ung’s six-hour Koh Samui safari in an ex-army 4WD jeep.

Expect mountain roads, rooftop riding, and a soaking water fight.

“AMAZING DAY! Highly recommend this day trip. The guides were funny and friendly, the views were beautiful, the group was very fun and there was a little surprise fun in there (I won't spoil the surprise, but be ready for some childlike laughter and joy). We went as a family with a 60 year old with slight mobility issues (muscular and joint challenges) and she had a blast! Climbing in and out of the truck was an effort and she avoided the waterfall climb, but still had an incredible day. You will love this trip!”

“The whole experience was fantastic. Riding through the jungle over rough, up-and-down terrain was exhilarating, and driving through the water—getting completely soaked—was the highlight. Our guide even took photos of all four of us on our quads, so we each have a great memory of the day. I’d definitely recommend it, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.”
