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.

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.
