カオラックからの小グループ一日のカオソク自然ツアー

I'll start with the positives. The hike through the jungle was amazing, a bit challenging in places but we managed ok. Our guide Boy was great at pointing out all the animals and creatures along the way, we definitely wouldn't have spotted them if we were on our own. The lunch we were provided far exceeded what we were expecting, it was at a lovely little place in the hills and had rice and 4 dishes to share plus watermelon and bottles of water. The bamboo rafting was lovely, very relaxing and scenic. We loved the bamboo cups we got as a souvenir. Now for the negatives, there's not many just a couple. The first stop they take you too is a market, we found this a bit overwhelming as we were just dropped off and told to be back in half an hour. We weren't sure where we should go or what we should do so just wondered for a bit. Didn't particularly enjoy this and glad it was only half an hour. When we stopped at the viewpoint it was very cloudy and couldn't see anything, don't know if this was because it was still quite early and maybe better later in the day instead. Not sure if that would make a difference. We also felt a bit lost at the monkey temple as we were just left to it again, wasn't sure how we bought food for the monkeys so we didn't bother. The driver we had was lovely and he really did do his best to make sure we were ok but his English wasn't the best so we struggled to communicate at times. Overall we did enjoy the trip and the positives far outweighed the negatives.

Fantastic trip to the Khao Lak Nature Tour with Turtle Shelter Visit, plus with bamboo rafting down stream and beach visit

A great day tour. The hike in Khao Sok National park was beautiful and our guide Boy helped us see lots of wildlife. The rafting was pleasant and relaxing, with the highlight of feeding the local fish. The driver went out of his way to make us comfortable. I would definitely recommend if you are interested in seeing some of Kho Sok.

Unfortunately, we saw very little. No animals or flowers in the jungle. The bamboo raft ride was boring due to the low water level.

A fabulous day with a walk through the jungle, bamboo rafting and lots of monkeys (of course that was luck!). Our guide Tom was great - his knowledge of the wildlife and area was brilliant. I would highly recommend.

This is a tourist trap in which none of the involved (guide, bamboo "driver") had an interest in the customer. They only had interest in drinking money. The first part of the trip (the treking part) did not correspond to what was described. In fact, it was only an hour and a half walk on the big trails with a single offpiste of maybe 15 minutes. We had received an email asking us to bring trekking shoes, bathing clothes and a towel. But I don't know what we need it for. Bamboo"driver" spoke on the phone most of the way (1 hour). When we arrived right at the “end” of all the other tourists, there were some bamboo drivers who loudly showed banknotes up in the air, so we all had to understand that they had to have drinks. It's OK with drinks, but the service should also be OK - and it wasn't. It wasn't much off the piste we saw of the national park - but went along with all the other (not groups) who ticked around in cliffs. Already at breakfast (before the trip was over) we were given a note so we could write an evaluation. What a pressure. Visit monkeys - no - honestly. It was for us to see a small opening in the cliff, where a monk sat, where we could put money. We are used to travel, travel around the world, including various trekking trips. Never have we been so disappointed about a tour including the guide and the other players. Luckily we were in a group with 2 young German boys who we could talk to.

Great day out, lovely guide and driver. Lunch was really good. Rafting was fabulous. Value for money

It was not the Khao Sok experience you expected. The tour guide also came across somehow without a plan. In the khao sok we were just a walk. I don't need to book a tour for that. The food in the restaurant was average and the raft ride a bit boring. Too bad

Amazing day out with a very knowledgeable guide, Tom. We started in a local market before travelling to the national park. As there was only the myself and my husband on the trip we were able to select a slightly shorter trek. We took it really easily through the jungle with lots of time for photos, spotting spiders, monkeys and tarantula nests! We drank water from the bamboo and scaled a small steep incline using a rope to assist. We then went for an amazing lunch, before bamboo rafting down the river. One of our best days ever, made all the more enjoyable by Tom who was really helpful and friendly.

We really enjoyed our day trip to the National park. So beautiful and our guide was fun & knowledgable. We hiked for a couple of hours, seeing the natural beauty of the park, and swam in the river at the end of the walk. The bamboo rafting was amazing too, so relaxing & beautiful. Thanks for a great day!
