5.00Activities included a visit to the elephant sanctuary, this was amazing. We managed to get into the river and scrub and cool down the elephants, a memory we will cherish. Bamboo rafting was so peaceful, our tour guide”Charly” was fun and very knowledgeable on the area. Would highly recommended this tour, would also be great for kids.

5.00We had an amazing day on our tour with Marta. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, and she made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. Spending time with the elephants was unforgettable, the visit to the Buddhist temple was peaceful and meaningful, and rafting down the river was the perfect way to end the day. Marta was warm, knowledgeable, and truly a pleasure to spend time with. It was one of the highlights of our trip.
a must do

2.00This wasn't a full-day trip, half a day maximum. You also sat in the car for some time. No idea what the point of the monkey temple was, it wasn't all worth it
Very well organised from...

5.00Robert, our guide, picked us up from our hotel on time & took us to our 1st stop, the market in KhaoLak with lots of fish, poultry & fruit. This was followed by the monkey temple in Khao Sok which was very entertaining, the monkeys were delightful. We then went bamboo rafting in stunning scenery, stopping half way for a coffee in bamboo cups which you can keep. We then had a lovely Thai lunch that was followed by a stop at the viewpoint made famous by the film Gold with Matthew McConaughey. The final stop was feeding & bathing the elephants at the elephant sanctuary. What a great day out.
Fabulous day out and well organised.

5.00Fabulous day out, well organised with no waiting or delays. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable and kept us on track. The small group approach helps to keep things running. All activities were very enjoyable.
A great trip. Our driver...

5.00A great trip. Our driver and guide Robert was very friendly and spoke very good english. First we were taken to a local food market in Khaolak Then on to the monkey temple, lots of very inquisitive monkeys around the grounds not afraid of people at all. The temple was colourful. Then onto the bamboo rafts lovely, half way you get off the raft and climb up a steep bank to a cave where you have coffee from a bamboo cup, crazy! After the rafting you go to a restaurant for lunch which was good. Next we went to the elephant camp. Spent time feeding and then down to the river to bath the elephant. An amazing day.
