      Amazing day hunting treasure
      We had an amazing day with Andy, exploring the island in a fun and engaging way! We also learned a lot about the island and the local culture, food, and drinks. The hunt takes you to amazing views high up and beautiful marine life down below. I highly recommend you join the hunt for hidden treasure when you're in Koh Tao!

      Puzzle fun while exploring the island
      We had a great day exploring the island with our guide Andy. The treasure hunt took us to amazing spots around the island. Andy also taught us a lot about Koh Tao and the locals. Can’t forget to mention the great food and snacks we had throughout the day. We had so much fun!

      Great way to explore the Island!
      We took on the challenge as part of our trip to Koh Tao. It was an amazing way to explore the island on various ways (nice overview, beaches, and swimming) while solving puzzles and having an overarching goal. I would especially recommend to do it while new to the Island as you will see some different spots. It was a fun day and definitely worth the money even though the weather wasn’t very good!

      Great full day out with amazing food
      Treasure island challenge was the best thing we did on Koh Tao by far. I loved the the spectacular bays, views and amazing food. Oli, Eva and Lisa liked solving the puzzles and using the map to work out where the next clue was. I would recommend doing this early during your visit as it really opens up what Koh Tao has to offer as an island.

      A must do in Koh Tao
      Such a fantastic and unique way to see the island. I booked for myself and my two littles (5 and 7) and we all had a blast. The whole day was incredible. Aimee, our guide, was lovely and knowledgeable, the clues were challenging, and the sites spectacular! We’re a widely travelled family, and absolutely loved this experience. A must do for all ages!

      Just Brilliant!
      The day was absolutely fabulous. The puzzles were challenging, ingenious and fun, and our guides knew exactly when to give us a hint and when to leave us to our own devices. We saw a lot of the island; lovely beaches and spectacular viewpoints. And the food and drinks were delicious. This is such a fun and unique way to discover the island. I highly recommend it.

      A great day out
      Had a great time on this trip today. My wife and I did the experience with three girls who were great fun. The Challenges were very interesting and took us to places around the island that we wouldn’t have visited otherwise. The food was excellent and the guide was great. And I snorkelled with a baby black tip reef shark it really couldn’t have been any better.

      Treasure island challenge
      A great way to see the island with a treasure hunt thrown in. My husband and I did this with 3 Thai girls on holiday and we had a great day despite a massive thunderstorm during the second snorkel. You really do need to wear trainers for one of the walks. The food we had for lunch was excellent and there were other stops for refreshments.

      Would definitely recommend, we had the most amazing experience, from solving a range of puzzles to exploring different parts of the island, beautiful beaches and viewpoints, accompanied by two amazing tour guides. We were served authentic Thai cuisine for lunch with snacks and drinks throughout the day. A great way to explore the island whilst having a day filled with fun!

      This challenge is a unique experience and an amazing way to get to know the island. Andi and his guides are very nice and also provide interesting informations about the island throughout the tour. Solving the riddles while visiting stunning places on Koh Tao is so much fun. You are offered great local food and meet nice people. Highly recommended!! :)

      One of the highlights of my trip !
      It was an amazing experience. I had a lot of fun trying to find the treasure, the atmosphere is really friendly and it is a good occasion to meet people. What I prefered was the possibility to visit the island, and go to places I had not been before. The beaches are very beautiful, I went back the day after to the beach and to the sunset bar we had visited. If it was not for the tour I would never have had the idea to go there ! During the day there is a good balance between treasure hunting and relaxing at the beach, we had one hour at each beach to snorkel and relax. I would 100% recommend this activity to everybody (adults and kids).

      Brilliant fun day out for all the family
      Whilst the island is heavily geared towards diving and snorkelling, this is a great activity for kids, parents and grandparents alike (provided they are reasonably fit to get to one of the viewpoints). It is a great way of seeing what Koh Tao has to offer at a relaxed pace, with the right amount of snorkelling and walking. Lunch was good in one of the local beach restaurants. Our guide T was friendly, knowledgable and gave you just a little help when we needed it with the clues without giving too much away. Would we recommend this tour - YES without hesitation.

    Great day out around the island. Visiting beautiful beaches, some good snorkelling and a very tasty lunch by the beach. Great value as it includes snacks and drinks throughout the day, lunch and a cocktail to finish, plus the all important tour of the island. Aimmy our guide was abslutley amazing. Highly recommend for those only here for a few days and unable to hire scooters to get around.

    Note: The climb to the first look out is a challenge that some may struggle with. Bring decent footwear if you want to make the trek to the top and back =)

    We really can't recommend this tour enough!

    We took part in this tour as a group of 5 friends in our mid-20s and it was one of the highlights of our time in Thailand. Originally I booked this tour as there honestly aren't many ways to get around Koh Tao if you don't want to rent a moped. However, the calibre of the tour really blew us away and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

    While you can be in a group of up to 12, we were the only participants on our day. While we expected some simple puzzles geared towards families, the puzzles were genuinely challenging and very creative - we ended up needing hints and really enjoyed trying to figure them all out! We also loved how people throughout the island were in on the secrets of the tour - I won't spoil the adventure as the surprises were part of what made it amazing, but I will say that this is so much more than just a tour of the island.

    There was so much food and drink included that the day felt like amazing value. We had hiking to a viewpoint, snorkelling stops, a beach-front lunch and so much more. Aimmy was an amazing guide and knew exactly when we were feeling stumped by the puzzles. The tour was truly a highlight of our time in Thailand and an amazing way to see the key parts of the island in one day while having added fun.

    Treasure Island Challenge blends the buzz of a treasure hunt/escape room, with the excitement of a small group tour across the island. It really is a great way to discover Koh Tao.

    We made special arrangements to complete the challenge on a day tour from Koh Samui, arriving on the first ferry and leaving on the last. It worked out perfectly and allowed us to see a lot of the island in a fun way.

    Our guide, Aimmy, was kind, patient and a lot of fun. The food and drinks were delicious and high-quality. The locations chosen for the tour are stunning. And the game play is challenging and very well thought-out.

    And it is incredible value for money. Don’t be put off by the low price tag, this is a premium tour that could justifiably double its asking price.

    I highly recommend this tour to travellers of all ages. Single travellers, couples, groups and families will all enjoy the day. We were blown away!

    What a fantastic day the Treasure Island Challenge gave us! We are a family of 4 with children aged 8 and 6 and this trip would be just as enjoyable for anyone of any age. If you want to be let in on all the most beautiful secrets of Koh Tao then you really must do this one of a kind trip. The snorkeling was the best snorkelling we've ever done and at least as good as the best scuba diving we've ever done too. The walks were just the right level of challenge to be rewarded with the most stunning postcard perfect viewpoints. The food was the best we've eaten in Thailand and we were only disappointed when we couldnt manage it all. Aime was so organised and efficient at keeping us on track to solve all the clues and complete our quest. She was also fantastic at boosting our youngest child's confidence snorkeling. Trust us, the price of the trip will be justified, don't miss it!

    I was approached to trial the new "Treasure Island Adventure" while I was on holiday in Koh Tao - I rarely bother writing reviews but felt I had to for this because it was so much fun! It was so well organised with so many cool little details (I won't give the game away because I don't want to spoil it for anyone else). We love puzzles and escape room type activities so this really appealed to us. It was also such a great way to see the island - we visited places I would never have thought to go to myself and had the most amazing views! The activity lasted all day (probably about 6 hours of being out) so would be really good value for money. Shout out to Anna, our guide, who was so kind, funny and lovely - thank you Anna! I would definitely highly recommend this to anyone either on Koh Tao, or anyone island hopping and looking for a bit of adventure.

    What a fantastic day we've had! It began in the office, where we discovered our first clue, launching us into an island-wide journey. We visited several awe-inspiring locations, each more stunning than the last. The snorkeling was a refreshing treat after our exhilarating and picturesque hike to the lookout. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we enjoyed a scrumptious meal in a stunninh setting overlooking the bay. Hats off to Andy for orchestrating this treasure hunt – a perfect mix of sightseeing and intellectual stimulation, revealing the island's hidden treasures. We definitely recommend this activity as you not only get to have fun solving clues you get to see so much of the island.

    This was such a great experience! Me and my boyfriend was in Koh Tao for just 1 full day so we wanted to see as much as the island as possible. We was so glad we done this as we seen soo much. We went to several beaches, viewpoints, snorkelled all whilst hunting for clues. We had a host called Aimmy and it was just me and my boyfriend on the team, and we had such a great day and Aimmy definitely had a huge contribution to that, we asked her so many general things we were curious about and got along so well. The hike to one of the viewpoints was defiantly tiring especially in the scorching heat so make sure you bring water! For the price we paid, we was so pleased with the experience, we started at 11am and finished at a beautiful viewpoint bar at 6:30pm where we solved the final puzzle! Such a fun day.

    Just returned home from a four week tour around Thailand and have to mention this activity. It was the highlight of a family holiday and was an amazing way to explore and enjoy the beautiful island of Koh Tao.
    We were lucky to share the experience with some other travellers and everyone enjoyed taking part in the challenges and activities throughout the day.
    During the activity we saw many beautiful areas across the island. We visited amazing viewpoints, stunning beaches and enjoyed the cuisine and character of the island, whilst taking part in lots of fun activities.
    The guides that led us throughout the day were amazing and had a lot of local knowledge. They made the day very enjoyable and their enthusiasm was infectious!
    I would recommend this activity to anyone who would like to experience the beauty and charm of Koh Tao, whilst also enjoying the fun and challenge of some cryptic and challenging activities. There are also some wonderful unexpected surprises during the day!
    A must for anyone wishing to experience the wonders of Koh Tao.

    We went as a family of five and absolutely loved the day. Each step of the day adventure was well planned, memorable and fun. T was our host and he was the best! I'd highly recommend this day to anyone who wants to see more of koh tao, snorkel, solve puzzles and see incredible views.

    What a fun, wholesome day out! I would recommend this to anyone of any age that loves a good puzzle and challenge. Not only are there fun clues and puzzles leading you to each destination; the destinations themselves are beautiful! I would upload photos but I don’t want to ruin any surprises! The lunch was also delicious. We had a fantastic day, thank you Aimmy.
