My partner and I took a short morning hike with Femke to the central part of the island that we had not been able to access before. Femke was very knowledgeable about the nature on the island and this was an excellent way to see a part of the island that we would never have gotten to see otherwise. Would highly recommend to anyone on Koh Samui.

We had a lot of fun on our hike. Femke is very friendly and extremely informative! She had so much information about local plants we passed and people and Koh Samui island itself! We done 2 hour hike but could have easily done longer!

My wife and I enjoyed a leisurely three hour hike with Femke through the plantations. Most of it was on dirt track which made it very easy. A bit steep at times but not too strenuous. Take plenty of water, a camera and some snacks as there are alot of viewpoints to savour.
Femke has built up a tremendous knowledge of the nature, the people and the culture of Koh Samui. She is a tremendous ambassador if the island and clearly loves the place and the people.
We learned a tremendous amount and would highly recommend her hike to anyone who wants to gain and understanding of the natural history of the area and a glimpse of the culture.

We did a 2 hour Hike a couple of days ago. Femke suggested the route based on our age span 14 to 66 years. It was truly an experience seeing Koh Samui from the Jungle side. Femke is very knowledgable and expalins a lot about the plant and animal life during the walk.

My friends and I were on Samui for a few days and wanted to get out in nature a bit. We selected the 3-4 hour Mae Nam Magic Garden hike. We are in average shape and took the full 4 hours. There was quite a bit of up hill hiking, but SO worth it! The views were amazing and the best we saw on the island. This hike took us to a cafe up in the mountains which had some awesome photo opps ;) Femke traveled at a great pace for us and stopped periodically to tell us about the nature around us. She also told us many interesting facts about the history and geography of the island. I am so happy we booked this hike!!! One of the highlights of our time in all of Thailand!

One of my best experiences of hiking so far. Femke is fabulous. Very well informed about the tracks, the plants, animals and pretty much everything of Koh Samui. She is also very friendly and accommodating. I would advise to just keep water bottles and sunscreen with you.

We found Femke via her website and she was very helpful in guiding us in which hike to do and arranging a taxi to pick us up and take us to a meeting up point.
We did a three hour hike mostly on dirt tracks high up in the mountains. The views were fantastic and Femke’s local knowledge was absolutely brilliant - we learnt so much about life in the remote areas of Samui as well all about the history and natural environment.
Would definitely recommend taking a walk with Femke, this was one of the highlights of out time in Samui.

My family and I had a wonderful hike with Femke. We needed a break from the beach and this was perfect. Femke is a knowledgeable guide and adaptable to your needs and activity level. She shares everything she knows about the local flora and fauna. On this hike we brought our 1-yr in a hiking backpack and had a blast trying it out and exposing him to nature. Great hike, beautiful views. We highly recommend her as a guide.

Femke was an excellent guide for our morning trek... as promised we walked from the Maenam side of Samui to a waterfall on the Nathon side where we enjoyed a relaxing swim and a beer. We had great views over the full northeast corner and west of Samui. Thankfully we had a cooler day with a nice breeze.
The walk was at least 3 hours along a combination of sealed / unsealed road and rough track, along the ridge and through some very small farms; the final stage of the walk down to the waterfall was very steep and precarious, definitely not advised for anyone with balance or mobility challenges...but we enjoyed clambering! Transport in both directions was prompt and we were provided information on places to eat lunch etc once we got to Nathon.
Thanks again Femke!

Hello I've been reading all the reviews and it all sounds amazing your walking tours.
Myself and my partner are staying in Koh Samui nearly three weeks do you have a price list of your charges for the walking tours we're staying May 2020
Written November 9, 2019
If you enquire through the website Femke will get back to you pretty promptly. She is great to hike with. She prices per hike so if there are other people joining you the price comes down. There were three of us on our hike and we had a great morning walking through the hills and mountains.

Hi, what is the best way to contact someone or speak to someone about this day tour?
Written August 19, 2016
Check out their website to contact them. I tried posting the website for this answer, but was not allowed. You can google 'Hiking on Samui' and will see a link to their website, there is a link to contact the company. This was how I was able to get in touch while I was traveling.

Hey guys , I'm really keen so see another side of the island by foot, how much am I looking at for a guided tour? And is there any tracks anyone suggests on the island that can be done on my own ?
Written October 14, 2015
Sorry we did not see your message sooner!
A private guided tour for one person starts from THB 1000 but depends on the amount of hours you would like to hike. If more people are joining, the price per person goes down. This includes the transfer from the meeting point up into the mountains to the end of the paved road where we will start hiking as well as a pick up on the other side and transfer back to the main road / taxi stand / close by village.
Koh Samui does not offer set hiking trails that can be followed by following the signs or colours, though the trails to most waterfalls (Namuang II, Hin Lat, Tartin) can be done without a guide.
If you would go into the mountains by yourself I would suggest to just go anywhere to the end of a paved road and start hiking on the dirt road, go in the morning so you have plenty time, bring more than enough water and take the same way back as you came. There are a lot of dead end roads and only a few connections .....
If you let us know the hike you prefer and date you prefer up front, we can also advertise the hike to see if more people like to join.
