Vana Nava Water Jungle tours

Easily travel from Bangkok to Hua Hin, arranging your itinerary according to your wishes (details finalized via email three days prior). Our itinerary included: 08:00 Pick up at Hostel 09:30-10:30 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (manual boat ride, 200 Baht per person for half an hour, paid to the driver) 11:30-12:00 Khao Luang Cave (easily accessible cave) 12:10-14:00 Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace (Khao Wang Palace) (Take the cable car up the mountain, there are three places to visit, requires some walking, beautiful scenery! Although it's hot walking under the scorching sun at noon, it's worth a visit) 14:40-16:00 Mrigadayavan Palace (beautiful seaside palace) 16:15-16:20 RRC bus station (buy tickets back to the airport) Everything went smoothly and we arrived at the hotel in Hua Hin ahead of schedule. The driver, Mr. Mok, only spoke very basic English, but he confirmed the necessary details with us. As for the details of the attractions, it was convenient to look them up on my phone! Overall, I was very satisfied and felt it was a good value for money, satisfying all the attractions I wanted to visit in one go.

The trip to Hua Hin is one of the highlights of our Thailand holiday. The planned itinerary was well-organised, from pick-up to drop-off. We highly commend our guide, Pairat, who was very accommodating and helpful. He explained to us where we’re going including the history and background of the places we’ve visited. If you’re looking to escape Bangkok’s crowd and traffic for a day, a trip to Hua Hin is a must-try.

Our driver, Mr Bill was professional and friendly. He not only bring us around safely and comfortably, he even recommended interesting places for us to explore. Highly recommended

This one-day tour of the old city was such a great value, and it's all thanks to our guide, Michael Jackson (who calls himself the Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand)! He was full of energy all day, and his professionalism was absolutely top-notch. He's Thai, but he speaks fluent Chinese and English. When he explained the dynasty history in Chinese, his logic was incredibly clear, and there were no communication barriers at all. What impressed us most was that he even prepared beautiful historical materials and before-and-after comparison images, allowing us to compare the current state of the historical sites with how they looked in the past. History instantly came to life, and it wasn't just about looking at stone buildings anymore. During the tour, he was also very patient in teaching us to speak Thai. Under the hot Bangkok sun, he always thoughtfully helped us find shady spots to take pictures and listen to his explanations, making the tour relaxing and comfortable for us. I really hope every group can meet a guide as excellent as Michael Jackson. He added so much to this trip! If you have the chance to join this tour, be sure to request this "Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand!"

When visiting Phuket, island hopping and water activities are definitely the most enjoyable, but the boat rides can be quite long. It's essential to get a good night's sleep the night before, otherwise, the next day's boat trip will be unbearable. I recommend purchasing your tour online in advance; they will contact you via email regarding hotel pickup times. We had a comfortable, spacious 9-seater shared van. Upon arriving at the pier, there were coffee, drinks, some small cookies, and toast available, which is great for anyone who didn't have time for breakfast. Bottled water is free on the boat, and lunch is a buffet served on Phi Phi Island. On the return trip, fruit is provided. You don't need to bring much money if you don't plan on making additional purchases. At the end, the guide individually asked for tips (though you don't have to give one), which felt a bit awkward, but I was very grateful to the captain and crew, so I did tip them.

Luxurious boat. Helpful staff to make people to snorkeling who are not so confident. Good food. Only drawback is since the boat is big it cannot go near the shore so you don't get to get down at any of the beach side.

It was a good trip to experience Thai culture and see their lifestyle. I just hope we travelled earlier because traffic was bad. Nevertheless, it was really fun! Aum and Bank were such incredible guides. Buffalo Cafe is a great side trip as well. ♥️

We had an amazing time on this boat tour with our guide, Mickey, and the boat crew. They were very organized and considerate of everybody's time and experience! I would highly recommend this one day excursion. Khob khun ka 🙏🏻
