Needless to say, Samui offers incredible variety for your team-building event. Whether island-hopping, jungle-exploring, or helping in the local communities, Samui is sure to have something to suit your business needs and get your team relaxed, engaged, and working together.

Samui is a small island ideally suited for small teams looking to develop a stronger connection for future growth.

If you are looking for a place where you and your team can connect and come together to learn new skills while developing old ones, then this is the place for you!

Treasure Islands

The best features of Samui are its stunning beaches which coat the perimeter of the island, the unspoiled islands that surround it, and the jungles. These make Samui the perfect place for an activity like the Amazing Race. This activity will get your team to work together and explore new and exotic locations. They must throw themselves into new experiences and leave their comfort zones!

Groups of about ten must follow route instructions to find their destinations and the directions for the Amazing Race around the island of Samui. Each destination reveals a new culturally relevant challenge, which each team must work together to solve, showing the following location.

The island of Samui offers plenty of scope for these fun and diverse challenges, including:

Fruit shake making
Local dancing
Flower garland making
Puppet making
Umbrella painting
Sweet and soap carving

Challenges can range from a few minutes to an hour – this is sure to push the endurance and mental fortitude of the teams to their limits!

As a team-building activity, this is a magnificent way to keep your team open, creative and receptive to new ideas while also allowing them to blow off steam and try new experiences.

The Amazing Race is also an excellent activity to improve your business by helping your team to:

Improve communication
Practice planning and organisational skills
Demonstrate leadership qualities
Get to know each other better and relax
Manage time effectively and work under pressure

And the island is well-suited to similar activities, such as the Pirates of Andaman, Treasure Islands and the Treasure Hunt, each of which will challenge your team’s skills and abilities similarly.

The Treasure Islands activity uses the brilliant islands of the area, and your team can work together to travel by yacht, speedboat, long-tail boat or catamaran to reach the island locations.

Jungle Adventure

The natural beauty of the jungles is the scene for this activity. Using various means of transportation such as hiking, mountain biking and flying through the jungle on canopy lines, teams must show courage and seek adventure to find the hidden locations.

If you want to immerse your team in a unique activity that will force them to embrace their inner adventure and take more risks, then look no further.

From the campsite within the hidden jungle, each group gets a set of maps, a compass, and instructions. Leaping from waterfall to waterfall, over mountains, and even across the sea, they must search for each clue while solving tricky problems and completing tough challenges.

Optional stages for Samui include:

Clues in the jungle canopy only reachable by rope
Races to nearby islands in long-tail fishing boats

The teams race against each other and against the clock to see which is the group of jungle adventurers – an adventure that is sure to inspire some playful competition and risks back in the workplace!

This team-building activity will develop many skills for your team:

Improve trust and cooperation among members
Encourage fun and relaxation
Learn about themselves and others under pressure
Develop leadership qualities
Develop risk management
Encourage positive thinking, motivation and confidence
Develop creativity and innovation

If you want your team to be more adventurous and innovative while also calm under pressure, this is an ideal team-building exercise!

The national park on Samui is perfect for the Jungle activities if your group has a day or two. Your team can spend the night there before beginning the Jungle Adventure or the Beach Activities. There can be many themes for the activities on Samui – Beach Team-Building, Tropical Team-Building and Cultural Discovery, for example.

There is much culture to discover on such a small island. The Cultural Challenges and Cultural Discovery activities offer the opportunity for your team to work together to explore the history and culture of the island.
