Skip the cars and small roads and explore the best of Koh Samui’s northern beaches via jet ski. Cap off your sun- and sea-filled afternoon with a trip to Fisherman’s Village and a sunset dinner on the beach.

We’ll start mid-afternoon by picking you up from your accommodations and making a quick side stop to two of Koh Samui’s famous temples. Our first stop is the BigBuddha temple: aptly named for the 12-meter tall golden statue of a serene-looking Buddha. We’ll climb to the top of the staircase and see the imposing statue up close in all its splendour.

Known for its colorful designs and mix of Chinese and Thai architecture, WatPlai Laem’s most eye-catching feature is the huge statue of the 18-arm Guanyin, believed to be the goddess of mercy and compassion. Explore the colorful grounds and spot another large statue of a laughing monk before we start our jet ski adventure.

“Very impressive temples and surrounding complexes. It’s possible to go inside one of the Wats and see the paintings on the walls and ceiling. We spent about an hour here and could have spent longer looking at the amazingly detailed carvings. Lots of good photo opportunities.” — Bob, U.K.

Following a briefing from our instructors, we’ll board jet skis and ride the waves, making the rounds of some of the island’s best beaches. Take in the long stretch of coastline at Bophut Beach, gaze at the turquoise waters of Maenam Beach, and admire the beautiful shores ofKoh Som Beach.

“One of the best experiences I have ever had, cannot wait to do it again.”— Griswald, Australia

After our thrilling ride, we’ll make our way to the popular Fisherman’sVillage for a spot of shopping. Walk by the numerous stalls and kiosks as you take in the wares and products on display. We’ll wrap up the day with a delicious local dinner on the beach as we watch the sun go down to signal the end of an amazing day.
