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.

Bamboo reading was definitely the highlight. So relaxing and great to see the snakes in the trees. Good to support the turtles too.
A bit meh!!

I had limited expectations for this excursion. We arrived at the bamboo rafting area and it was all very rushed. I was hoping that the guides would be pointing out wildlife or give us some information about anything, but it felt like our guide in particular was either a bit hungover or just didn't want to be there. Stopped the raft to take phone calls etc it was bizarre. The turtle sanctuary was decent. Learned some things on the tour from the guide. Waterfall was a bit of a waste of time to be honest. In summer when water levels are low. It seems pointless to take people there.
Tour didn’t meet expectations…

The Bamboo Rafting was nice and interesting… other two activities (Sea turtles and waterfall) were an absolute joke. During the visit of the sea turtles everyone was on their own, no group tour, guidance or explanation… and the “waterfall” (the last stop) was absolutely a joke. 2meter “waterfall” were announced as the greatest thing on earth… felt like they had to add something to the tour and this was free of charge for them (more tour profit).
Bamboo rafting snd turtles
