Excellent trip and route. Unfortunately, due to traffic jams in Phuket, we waited for the second group for more than 45 minutes and didn't make it to the last observation point above the lake, but what we saw was excellent and unforgettable! Special thanks to our guide, Lilly, who explained everything perfectly, took great photos, and tried very hard.

We had an absolutely incredible private boat trip to Khao Sok National Park for our group of four. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. Communication was outstanding—clear, prompt, and informative—which made everything stress-free. Pick-up was right on time, and the instructions on where to go were easy to follow and well organised. Our tour guide was phenomenal and truly made the day special. They took the time to stop, explain, and show us all the amazing and unique things around the islands, making the experience both fun and informative. Nothing felt rushed, and it was clear they genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience. Overall, an outstanding tour and an exceptional company to deal with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and well-run private tour! 🌊🚤🌿

all the points covered are worth visiting, the only thing - it felt a bit rushed as all the places are in different states of Thailand

Awesome experience. We were picked up from the hotel, and given snacks and water kit, enough washroom breaks. Locations were very nice. We especially liked the rajjaprabha dam and wat bang tong. Make sure to ask for vegetarian food for lunch with your guide when you board. Lunch was delicious 😋. In the lake, you need to pay safety deposit for kayak equipment, but it is refundable. Thank you Tony and Mr. Dech.
