Koh Samui Shore Excursions: Top 10

Koh Samui Shore Excursions - on around 40 days a year, hundreds of happy cruise passengers visit Koh Samui. Passengers can explore the island on their own or join an organised excursion. Every cruise line offers its own selection of Koh Samui shore excursions, and the prices they charge are often very high. It's well worth taking a look at the local providers instead. Unfortunately, communication with the providers is usually difficult, and travel agencies aren't geared towards the needs of cruise passengers. There's a real alternative, though! Among the contracted partners of cruise lines calling at Koh Samui, such as AIDA and MeinSchiff, is kohsamui.tours - a young and dedicated team that impresses with professionalism and warm customer service.

  One of our insider tips among the Koh Samui shore excursions is the private VIP driving service. With this service you can decide completely freely which sights you really want to see, and enjoy the full comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle in a private group. The professional drivers usually speak some English too and know the local peak times for the best spots. The driving service is split into two categories: standard and exclusive. The standard service uses a minibus and can reach all sights on paved roads. The exclusive category is a bit more expensive, since it uses an SUV that can also reach every destination on unpaved roads. The choice depends on your desired programme!

Unfortunately, many never get the chance to cook the dishes themselves back home. Now, even as a cruise passenger, you have the chance to take part in a traditional Thai cooking class. In small groups you'll prepare a 5-course menu consisting of a starter, a curry dish, a soup, a main course, and a delicious dessert. The dishes are made from local, fresh ingredients. Make your choice and learn the most popular dishes, such as spring rolls, seafood salad, panang curry or green curry, tom kha gai, tom yum goong, fried prawns in tamarind sauce, and much more.

Participants travel with up to 9 other passengers in an air-conditioned minibus to a set list of sights. On cruise ship days, huge visitor numbers can sometimes lead to crowded spots. That's exactly why the route for this island tour has been deliberately adjusted, leaving out certain stops. The programme still includes 6 impressive sights and is also a bit cheaper. On this excursion you get a real insight into Thai culture and hear plenty of insider knowledge from your guide. Demand is high, so we recommend booking your island tour early.
