This was probably the best excursion of our cruise holiday. The communication with the company - Merganser holidays was excellent. Our vehicle and driver/ guide Pathum turned up on time. We travelled in a jeep from the cruise port but it was comfortable. The ride to Yala park was very interesting too. Once at the park our driver was in touch with others and was able to get us to where a leopard had been sighted. We were very lucky in that we found the leopard on the track and we had close up views before all the other jeeps piled in. We saw elephants too. We were looked after well and were given a sensible snack of fruit and drinks. Our driver obliged us by stopping at an ATM for local currency. In future we must carry more US dollars for tips because it isn’t always easy to find an ATM. Currency exchange shops are more normal in the ports we visited. We had a bathroom stop by a beach and a detour off the main road to see the sunset over the wetlands. A very memorable day but we were saddened to hear about the cyclone that hit this area after we had visited with so much flooding. We consider ourselves very lucky to have experienced this area.
