Super friendly and knowledgeable guides. Ride down the river was very enjoyable with a great coffee and tea break made in bamboo. What a treat. Moneys were great to visit with and learn about their temple. Great trip highly recommend
A fantastic afternoon tour to visit Khao Sok National Park. Our guide Gay was full of enthusiasm and made our tour memorable. We were picked up in a comfortable air conditioned minivan, with Alex driving us smoothly between locations. The scenery at the national park is stunning and well worth the drive. The views along the river during our bamboo rafting were equally spectacular and probably the highlight of our trip. We were very lucky to see an elephant taking a break from the heat, bathing in the river with their mahout at their side. We found the small group size (max 8), comfort of the transport and overall service gave the tour a luxurious and personal feel, so booked another tour with them - that was equally fantastic! Thanks so much for helping our holiday be so special!
Really enjoyable 4–5 hours. It was lovely to see and feed the monkeys. The rafting was so peaceful, with beautiful scenery all around. We stopped for bamboo coffee and were allowed to keep the bamboo cup, which we were really pleased with. The guide on the raft spoke good English and was very informative, pointing out things about the surrounding nature. Our driver was also really friendly and even stopped on the way back so we could take photos at one of the viewpoints.
We had an amazing experience with Khao Lak Planner. We ended up using them for three different tour activities. Toto who runs the business is super experienced, knows exactly how to cater to tourists, and makes the booking process simple. Toto makes sure that the groups are small - on all three tours we went on there were no more than 8 people - so the tours don’t feel crowded or rushed at all and the experiences are super memorable. We got a very strong sense that this tour company values highly the natural environment and local communities. We definitely felt that our environmental footprint was small and that a good portion of our money was being spent in smaller communities. On all three tours we were so fortunate to have Gay as our guide. She is the most lovely person, extremely funny and knowledgeable about Khao Lak and Thailand in general. She speaks beautiful English, and made us all very comfortable. Gay showed us all the hidden spots and gave us awesome recommendations for restaurants and other experiences in Thailand. We really miss being in Thailand and Khao Lak and are extremely fortunate to have met Gay on our travels. We highly recommend this tour company. We can’t wait to return and try the rest of the tours they have on offer.
We had a super tour guide who was friendly and caring. She was super good with our girls and she was a big part of the overall experience. The elephant site was fantastic, and surreal experience. Bamboo rafting was a fantastic experience, even in the rain. It was peaceful and we could have spent the whole day on the river. The viewpoint provided a beautiful view and scenario, as did the place where we ate lunch. It was great food, unfortunately in a little too large quantities, but some of the delicious food we have gotten. The only thing that pulls a little down was Monkey Temple, since it was nice to see the monkeys, but the place itself was not so interesting. But a perfect trip, especially when you have small children who may not be able to handle a hike yet.
This tour was a lovely way to see the “jungle” side of Thailand - the river rafting was beautiful (and safe) and the coffee is amazing! Our guide Gay was very informative and bubbly and tailored our adventure to our interests and schedule.
This was a perfect tour to do with young kids! It felt like a real adventure, lots of activities but not rushed. Our kids loved it! Excellent tour guide and driver, comfortable transport and great communication in making arrangements. Highly recommended!
No explanations have been given by our guide We do not speak English but usually they make translation efforts. Especially since we were just the two of us.
Great tour. The guide was super nice, she enjoyed explaining Thai culture and replying to our questions. Visit to the monkeys’ temple was fun, lot of monkeys all around. The guide also teach us a lot about Buddhism while visiting the temple. The bamboo rafting was great, the jungle landscape was beautiful and we also enjoyed the coffe prepared during a stop which we drank in a handmade bamboo cap. Definitely recommended
Great trip , we loved the bamboo rafting, very relaxing and picturesque. Watching the monkeys dive into the pond was fun at the end of the day . Our guide Aommy was very friendly and helpful
