Highly recommend in seeing the inland sightseeing spots.
Would highly recommend this activity as it provides a mix of adventure and sightseeing.
If we didn't do this activity we would have missed most of the inland areas such as the Samui View point, Tarnim Magic garden etc.

Highly recommend!
We had no idea what to expect. My wife and I are here for our honeymoon and we stayed at the ritz in koh samui. They picked us up, gave us the run down, and we toured the entire mountain tops. This was the best thing we did the entire stay. The views, the pictures, the memories. Made it all surreal.
The food at the top was amazing. They include lunch, and every stop, and entry fee was waived, which was included in your original sign up fee.
What an experience! We both had a blast.
Thanks again!

A must while staying in Koh Samui buggy heaven.
Collected from our hotel at the Hyatt regency. Jumped onto the back of our pick up truck up and was about a 30 minute drive to arrival. Our guide was fantastic and given quick tuition on driving and led of to a practice run to get to know vehicles. The buggy’s are excellent and robust. We were taken to numerous island sites. Take your camera or phone as sights are amazing of the whole island. The highlight was a stop of at mountain jungle restaurant. A surprise lunchtime meal and pit stop. Has its own pool and the food was excellent. The routes were bumpy and even cliff edge at times that added to an amazing 4 hrs. The cost was extremely reasonable as we passed people on ATV s who were struggling and yours of 4x4 who were being chucked around everywhere due to the terrain where we was whizzing through all terrain. Our guide was excellent throughout and this is a must to visit the island jungle, mountains and sights.
