Elephant feeding and river bathing, bamboo rafting, monkey temple, Thai lunch, and bamboo coffee on a 7-hour Khao Lak day trip.
“Absolutely magical! We are so glad we booked this trip. Guide and driver were fabulous, very knowledgeable, and funny! There were only 6 of us as it was low season and it was so intimate and special with the elephants. We had more time with them than I expected (perhaps around 1 hour) and my partner and I had an elephant all to ourselves! We also thoroughly enjoyed the rafting - so peaceful. We would do this trip again and definitely recommend it. Thank you to our amazing guide, Nine, who went above and beyond, even being our personal photographer! Everything was perfect.”

“We had Nai as our guide. He was knowledgeable about the trip, the turtles and Thai history. He was very personable. If I were planning other excursions, I would absolutely request him again.”
Khao Lak bamboo rafting, Thai Navy sea turtles, and Ton Pring waterfall in a small group with hotel pickup, soft drinks, and wet-weather tips.
“Very good excursion and would recommend. Our tour guide was lovely and everything ran as it should. The reason we're not giving five stars is for the turtle sanctuary, we wish for more information given by the guide and spoke through more. We had about an hour of "free time" but with no plaques explaining how the sanctuary is ran/ how old they are/ when they'd be released it was really just a guessing game. We would recommend this for the bamboo rafting alone! Our "driver" was very lovely 😊”

We stopped at the morning market, bathe with elephants, had tea and tasty treats, visited the viewpoint that was featured in the movie Gold and went bamboo rafting with coffee in the jungle.
