Ok, but description of activity not sufficient

The tour was as described. However, the elephant ride offered at the waterfall leaves you with mixed feelings. I think it should be pointed out here in advance in the description that one must necessarily go past an animal cruelty. It's just cruel.
Awesome tour, loved it. Bring swimsuit and towel

Nikki our tour guide was a lot of fun and absolutely fantastic. She keeps the mood lively and provides good depth of information. She was possibly the best tour guide we’ve had in all of Thailand. Just a pro tip, you can swim at the waterfall so bring a towel and swimsuit if you’re interested in doing that but you’re only there for around 30 to 40 minutes but enough time for a quick dip.

This tour was amazing. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we had an amazing time. We were collected promptly and the length if time on the tour was just enough to see all the top highlights of Koh Samui. The size of the group was just right. We all had chance to ask questions, chat and interact with the sights. This tour is best for adults who want to learn the history of the island, its temples and a deeper meaning to the many symbols along the way. The atmosphere was great. A very calm and pleasant experience along trip and we got the chance to stop to take photos, explore, shop and get refreshments. Would recommend this tour if your in Samui :-)
