Khalifa Samui
Compare prices
Khalifa Samui is a water sports and activity operator based in the Bo Put area of Koh Samui, offering a range of ocean-based experiences including jet skiing, parasailing, and towable rides. Operating across open bay waters, the service appeals to travellers looking to make the most of Koh Samui's coastline with guided, hands-on activities rather than simply relaxing on the beach. Visitors consistently highlight the professionalism and friendliness of the team, with staff members praised by name for creating a welcoming and safe environment. The operation caters well to families, with staff noted for taking particular care to ensure children feel comfortable and confident during activities. Hotel pickup and drop-off is available, adding a layer of convenience for those without independent transport. The bay setting offers plenty of open water space, making for an enjoyable experience even when sea conditions are slightly choppy. Good to know: Khalifa Samui operates as a tour and activity service rather than a fixed venue, so booking in advance is advisable, especially during peak season between December and February. Wear or bring a swimsuit, and consider reef-safe sunscreen for water activities. Lightweight, quick-dry clothing is practical for the journey back. Confirm pickup arrangements and activity inclusions directly with the operator when booking.

Reviews from Google
Loved it. They picked us up to the hotel and brought us back. The jet ski was nice, amazingly blue waters (even though it was choppy), lots of fun!
We had such an amazing time parasailing with the children. They absolutely loved it! PHET and his team were so accommodating and made sure the kids were comfortable and confident.
Honestly the best water sports experience I’ve ever done! Moy and Jay were amazing, super friendly and made everything so much fun. The guide was great too! Loved the jet ski, parasailing, and towable rides. Plus, they even picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel for free. Totally recommend this to anyone visiting!
