Worth every penny
Great day out, fish were on the small side but plentiful. Skipper and especially his helper were very attentive and great fun to be around.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you had a great day out and enjoyed the abundance of fish. Your kind words about our skipper and his assistant mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Very disappointing trip
This is not a trip for experienced fishermen. There were 3 boats all with about 16 on board. We headed out and trolled past the reefs on the way out. One of our rods went off and instead of the deckie handing it to a passenger he proceeded to bring the fish in. We then progressed out to the first anchor spot along with the other two boats. I think we landed about 5 fish. The biggest being 125mm. all three boats moved around in a reasonably small area before we headed off to anchor for lunch. It was shallow water and some on the other boats went for a swim. The lunch was lovely with chicken, fish and prawns, rice and salad with watermelon for dessert. Cola and water were available all day. After lunch all three boats went to other areas, all very close to each other. I think we may be landed about 15 tiny fish all day. We trolled back in again but had no takes. It appears to me the operator has the boats going to the same areas, probably nearly every day. No wonder there are no fish, particularly when everything over 100mm seems to be kept. Rods and reels are Ok but spooled with mono and not braid. As I said not a trip for experienced anglers
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback on your recent fishing trip. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the lunch and onboard amenities, but we sincerely regret that the fishing itself did not meet your expectations, especially for an experienced angler. Please note that the tour is designed as a shared experience to give participants of all levels the opportunity to enjoy a day on the water. We will review your comments with our partner to improve the service. Your feedback is very valuable and will help us enhance the experience for future travelers. Best regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Nice arrangement, sad caught
Due to promotionpictures expectations with regards to various fishtypes and sizes was far to be met. Caught a bucket of same two fishtypes weigt from 40 to 300 grams. Could easily fit in a private mideum saltwater aquarium. Staff and pichup from hotell was great, nice tasty lunch made on sea. Perhaps the trip should be advertised for families with small children, or people totally new into fishing.

Too expensive for what you get, missleading advertisement
The photos you see on advertisement are missleading and most of them uploaded by tour organizer. We cought only small fish size 10cm which you should normally return to the sea, but I guess they were good for frying at the end. It was even so little fish that our entire group decided to go home earlier. The type of fish is that you catch from a beach with piece of bread. It is simply too expensive for what you get, total waste of money. Our tour guide was very nice, professional and very helpful, was doing everything to help us, thanks to him.
Response from the operator: Dear valued customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you experienced during your fishing tour. Your comments are invaluable as they help us ensure that our activities meet the expectations of our customers. We are truly sorry that the fishing experience did not live up to your expectations. We understand the importance of accurately representing our tours and will take immediate steps to address any misleading information in our advertisements. However, we are delighted to hear that you found our tour guide to be professional, helpful, and accommodating. Providing excellent service is our top priority, and we will continue to uphold the highest standards in customer care. If there's anything else we can do to improve your experience or if you have any further feedback to share, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your support and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Warm regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $82 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Koh Samui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Koh Samui is not rushed.
Is Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Koh Samui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Koh Samui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Koh Samui and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Koh Samui: Small-Group Fishing Trip with BBQ Lunch and Transfers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Koh Samui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Koh Samui?
+
On Outty we rank every Koh Samui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 6 Hours Elephant Care and Jungle Tour by 4WD in Koh Samui, Semi-Private yacht adventure to Ang Thong Park’s hidden treasures, Koh Samui: Viewpoint, Elephant, Pig Island & Snorkel + Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Koh Samui?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Koh Samui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
