The 10 Best Activities & Tours in Koh Samui, Ranked
This lot leans inland and uphill: two jungle zipline parks, a hillside sculpture garden, a clifftop restaurant and a couple of viewpoints, with the marine park and the Lamai rocks covering the coast. Hawk Adventure Zipline takes the top spot, though Hin Ta Hin Yai is the one everyone stops at because it costs nothing.
