The highlight is the approximated 1km boarded walkway through the mangrove forest, which provides a wonderful opportunity to get a view of the inside of the forest itself and try wildlife spotting. The walk is suitable for anyone who can manage 1km, and it looked accessible to buggies - but despite the accessibility, it is peaceful. Part-way round the walk is a raised platform which gives a magnificent view of the forest and surrounding area.
The 1 hour Pranburi River cruise on a small Longtail Boat, offers a delightful way to explore the natural beauty and cultural charm of rural Thailand. As you glide along the river, you'll be treated to stunning views of orchards, forests, and picturesque fishing villages. The journey provides a unique opportunity to observe local wildlife and immerse yourself in the serene landscapes. After the cruise, you'll enjoy a traditional Thai lunch at a local restaurant, supporting the community and savoring authentic flavors. It's a perfect blend of relaxation, discovery, and cultural appreciation
The viewpoint is located at the top of Khao Daeng Mountain. It is the most famous viewpoint in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park.

Organization of the tour was super planned, our guide was just classy and competent, took care of us touchingly all day. Ascent to the view point of the mountain is very rocky and exhausting, as is the descent. The view compensates 360 degrees. The boat tour along the mangroves to the mouth and back past the fishing village was refreshing for over an hour. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. Visiting the mangrove forest at low tide was also great, many different crabs could be observed. The viewpoint over the mangrove forest was also fantastic. All in all highly recommend this tour.
Were by scooter directly take the boat for a ride in the mangrove and also to the rough sea with impressive wind ride under these magnificent mountain peaks
Our Guild was excellent, enjoyed the day very much. The hike up to the Khoa Doeng View Point was very tough I think only 2 made it to the top. Loved the Mangrove Forest hike and the river boat. Wear good hiking shoes.!!!
YES, I'm fine. A first boat ride in the mangrove was missing. Good guide and good driver. The meal should not take place after the 3 visits are over but before the cruise in sam King Yod
Enjoyed the mangrove forest walk, boat ride, and lunch. Group decided not to hike up mountain; instead we saw temple complex, which was nice. Guide was friendly and helpful though would have valued even more commentary to learn about each site and Thai culture and history.
The tour was a bit disappointing. The guide walked very quickly through the walkway, so you didn't really get to see much of anything. He told something about something, but only to the 2 people walking right behind him, so the rest of us didn't really get to hear anything about what he had to say about the wildlife, fauna, etc. (If that was what he was talking about). The boat trip on the river was beautiful, and there was an opportunity to take some beautiful pictures. The trip up to Khao Daeng View Point was a bit tough, but you can take it at a pace that suits you. Wear good shoes. The view was beautiful. We waited a long time for the food at the restaurant, and when we got it the meat was not cooked through, neither chicken nor pork, it was all half raw!!! Afterwards we made a stop to the side of the road where we looked at a pineapple field, not really anything exciting about it. The tour is not worth the money.
The climb up Khao Daeng is a bit hard as it’s craggy and steep in places but well worth it. The boat trip was a bit disappointing as not much to see but was relaxing after the hike. The Forest Park was interesting and ok.
Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip. I apologize that you didn't see many animals along the river. Thank you for booking with us.
