An Island 4X4 Safari
An Island 4x4 Safari
Enjoy a rugged safari around the island of Ko Samui in a 4x4 vehicle. On this excursion, you'll experience a range of experiences. Enjoy the excitement of a zip line ride through a natural tree canopy. Your journey will take you to the breathtaking Na Muang Waterfalls for a refreshing dip in the water at its base. Continuing, your venture will take in a revered Buddhist site to view the mummified monk, Luang Pho Daeng. Lunch is included, and afterward, your 4x4 safari will provide a chance to see stunning views that would make great photos.
After meeting your guide, proceed to explore a tropical paradise. You will be brought to an amusing monkey show. Watch these small primates in action as they scurry up palm trees and pick coconuts with ease and dexterity. There are more predatory creatures on Ko Samui, and you'll be treated to a show that features trainers seemingly playing with crocodiles. This is something that only a professional should attempt.
There is also the possibility to ride the Sky Fox, an exciting zip line in which you could imagine that you are a bird gliding along the jungle canopy. It is truly an exhilarating feat.
For a bit of respite, you will be taken to the Na Muang Waterfalls to explore, take photos, or jump into the water for a swim. Set in lush tropical surroundings, the Na Muang Waterfalls, also called the Purple Waterfalls due to the rock faces, will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
For those who are fascinated by spirituality, the safari continues to the Wat Khunaram to see one of Buddhism's most revered monks, who happens to have died in 1973 while meditating. Known as the Mummy Monk, the preserved body of Luang Pho Daeng is on display in a glass casket, appearing like he is still in meditation. Some may find this disturbing, but to many Thai people, the monk's body is worshiped and venerated with flowers and incense.
You will take a needed break to enjoy lunch before continuing on your 4x4 safari to see some of Ko Samui's most visually stunning viewpoints. This is a great time to snap your photos of this island of natural beauty.
Your tour will end upon returning to your original meeting point before departing for your ship, but not without a feeling that you somehow belong in Ko Samui.
Shore Excursions Group was created with one goal in mind: to provide exceptional travel experiences to cruise passengers in the ports they visit around the world. To accomplish this, we have compiled an exceptional array of tours delivered by local experts with decades of experience serving travelers and delivering excellent tours. Our owners and management team are comprised of seasoned travel industry executives who leverage their considerable experience to deliver memories of a lifetime.
We are experts in providing exceptional shore excursions. We understand that in today's fast paced world, vacations have become an increasingly important way to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and experience new and interesting places. With this in mind, we provide the highest quality tours by performing extensive research, and detailed reviews. While other companies also offer excursions, we strongly believe our expertise and approach set us apart. The large cruise lines sell shore excursions - typically in very large groups visiting high traffic sites. We focus on smaller groups visiting more interesting and authentic locations using more personalized local operators. While the cruise lines are experts in delivering cruises, we are experts in delivering shore excursions.
Our Approach
We believe quality service is not only highly valued by customers, but ultimately leads to better experiences and higher satisfaction. Unlike the cruise lines and other tour companies that rely almost entirely on websites, we encourage customers to call us. We want to invest our time answering your questions, providing input, and selecting the excursions that best meet your needs.

For those customers who prefer to travel in smaller groups with more personalized service, we offer a wide variety of small group tours around the world.

While exploring the destinations and ports on this website, feel free to search for these "Small Group Tours". For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France.
