Nature And Outdoors in Koh Samui

Nature on Koh Samui splits between the sea and the island's interior. On the water the headline route is Ang Thong National Marine Park, an archipelago of forty-two islands with an inner lagoon and a ridge viewpoint: an eight-hour sailing on a big boat with snorkelling costs 53 dollars, by speedboat 62. Further out runs the trip to Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan at 71 dollars — eight and a half hours and the sandbar that ties three islets together.

Inland the main transport is a 4x4. The jungle safari at 56 dollars follows dirt tracks through coconut plantations to waterfalls and viewpoints; the version that visits elephants costs 74 dollars, and the elephant spa with feeding and bathing 93. Separately there are quad and 4WD buggy tours, four hours each. For a calmer day there is a seven-hour circuit of Samui on a comfortable boat at 83 dollars.
