A short climb to breathtaking panoramic views over the entire island and turquoise sea.
Several of Samui's hilltop lookout points offer stunning 360-degree views over the island, with turquoise ocean on all sides and jungle below. The short hikes to reach these viewpoints are suitable for kids aged 6 and up, taking just 20-40 minutes each way. Bring water, go early or late to avoid midday heat, and reward the family with the most spectacular view on the island. Totally free.
