Begin your day tour with a hotel pick-up in Khao Lak between 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM, and depart for the river. Hop on a bamboo raft and float along the waters, relax and enjoy the stunningly beautiful rainforest around you as your raft is pulled by a local boatman.

Visit a sea turtle conservation center working to save and increase the number of sea turtles in the region. The Royal Thai Navy plays an active role in turtle conservation and baby turtles are brought to the center, where they are nursed for 6-8 months before being released into the sea.

Finish the tour with a trip to Ton Pling Waterfall, the most popular waterfall in the area. Experience the lovely atmosphere and marvel at the amazing environment surrounding you. Swim in the small ponds at the waterfall and just enjoy the relaxing ambiance, before being dropped off back at your hotel.

We loved the whole adventure. The bamboo rafting was beautiful, we got to see four snakes, few giant spiders and fish. After rafting there were fruits and coffee available. The seaturtles were cute and the center informative. The waterfall swimming was nice and refreshing 😍
Brilliant - couldn’t recommend more!

5/5! The guide and driver were fantastic. Smiling, laughing and chatting. Pick up and drop off were seamless and they went out of their way to make sure you stayed hydrated and even organised watermelon at the half way point! 🍉

I had a wonderful experience. The trip started with bamboo rafting, which sits 2 people per raft. It was just me (solo) and 1 couple for this tour so I had a raft to myself. It was raining but that didn’t matter as they kindly gave us ponchos! It seems this part of the experience is to mainly enjoy being taken on the raft and seeing the beautiful scenery for an hour, but I asked to have a go and it was much more fun steering the raft yourself (at least for some of it)! Next we were offered some watermelon & coffee before visiting the turtle conservation centre, which was really enjoyable and informative. Finally, we stopped by the waterfall and had a quick dip! Fantastic trip, all of it took only around 3 hours to see so much. Fab guide. And great value for money too.
Expect to be a bit wet...

If you’re after a relaxing, intuitive and fun experience, this is for you. Starting with an effortless pickup from our hotel, then made our way to the turtle sanctuary. Then to the bamboo raft which is that quiet you can hear yourself breathe (so relaxing). Then Finished with a swim at the base of the waterfall. The guide (Robert) made it even more amazing with information about the places we went, and just feeling at ease the whole time. Highly recommended for a half day activity with the kids.
A must half day adventure suitable for all ages 👍

Khao Lak bamboo rafting and sea turtle conservation is a must. The bamboo rafting is mystical and magical. The peaceful calm tranquil waters are relaxing and meditative. The natural lush green landscape is breathtaking. The sea turtle conservation is informative and educational. The tour ends with a waterfall visit where you can enjoy a cool swim. Our tour guide Boom was informative and friendly with a good sense of humour that made our half day trip feel full 🙏
