Definitely worth waking up for!! A beautiful sunrise, the national park shouldn’t be missed and we saw an elephant in the park (about as “wild” as is possible these days)! Experience of a lifetime.
We had a great time. The sunrise and boat tour around the lake and cave were very nice. The car rides to get to the various locations are a bit long but our tour guide was nice and friendly throughout. Only negatives were that things felt a little bit rushed as we went from once place to the next, and our breakfast was an optional stop at a 7-11.
Early morning trip with great driver & host, both knowledgeable & helpful. National Park scenery and Summit view was breathtaking. Wildlife sightings included an eagle and young elephant frolicking in the mud on the lakeshore shore.
It is important to be able to coordinate two things. Car transport and boat. It is to be expected that one manages when tour to be sold. Waited 3 1/2 hours on the boat. Did not get the last part and was back after 15 1/2 hours.
We sincerely apologize for the poor coordination during your tour. While the busy season can sometimes create operational challenges, this is not the level of service we strive to offer. This was an isolated incident and the first time this has happened with us, which we take very seriously. We have taken immediate action with the guide responsible and are reinforcing our coordination procedures to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve and maintain our service standards.
National park is breath taking. Transfer was on time, boat was authentic (= old, but not without a it’s Charme). Lunch stop is a Russian dominated tourist trap (avoid at all cost). Scenery is amazing but getting there from Rawai is tiring - 2.5 to 3 hours one direction if traffic permits so you spend at least 6 hours in the car (from Rawai area) and about 3 hours on the lake. Driver was super nice and very engaged.
The trip was amazing, we were surrounded by beautiful limestone cliffs and rainforest, went kayaking, we saw some wild animals during the trekking in the cave. Our guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly. She explained everything clearly and stopped sometimes to show us animals we otherwise would not have seen. Overall completely worth the money you spend!
We loved it, our guide was very thorough in his explanations, the activities were very well organised, but make sure to bring extra sneakers because you walk in the mud in in the cave, the scenery was beautiful.
Incredible views, well organized tour and saw some bats, monkeys even spot some wild mushrooms, canoed, swam, and the cave - it was beautiful!
This trip was a highlight of our holiday. What we initially thought was a mistake booking such an early tour—turned out to be perfect. The sunrise at Samet Viewpoint was outstanding, and the food there was mind-blowing. The lake was absolutely incredible, and having the chance to kayak at no additional cost was brilliant.
This is a wonderful tour!! We saw the most beautiful sunrise at phang nga bay and the long tail boat was a perfect way to see the lake. The cave was also impressive to see.
