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.

Great bamboo rafting experience

5.00This was a lovely half day tour. The stop at the Sea Turtle Conservation Centre was very brief and we just got to see turtles of various ages swimming in concrete pools. The highlight of the tour was the bamboo rafting which took about an hour. It was great to sit on a raft as were steered down a clear creek through jungle and more open agricultural land. On the way back, we stopped at a waterfall as the guide had needed to reduce our time with the turtles.

5.00It really was a great tour. We left at 8:40 started with the turtle due to rain, then to bamboo and then to waterfall. It was the perfect amount of time at each location and was back by 12noon. Our tour guide run was amazing very knowledgeable about each location and was very friendly. Thankyou for a great morning.

4.00Very 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 😊
Relaxed bamboo rafting

5.00Bamboo reading was definitely the highlight. So relaxing and great to see the snakes in the trees. Good to support the turtles too.
