Things to do in Surat Thani Province

OMG! Out of the world experience. The staff there is so jolly and fun and supportive. They also take your video. There is a tree house which have the most spectacular view of the Jungle and the Ocean. We spent all our afternoon there. Must go!

instructor: Is pleasant and well informed when giving facts about elephants. experience: Once in a life time feeding close with and bathing them

Our experience was top-notch; the crew's service truly deserves more than 5 stars. They genuinely take care of you throughout the entire trip. Just take this tour with a fast boat that is very stable on the water, so you don't waste unnecessary time at sea and have more time for the tour itself. The food during the tour was also better than we expected. I give 10 stars for the crew of boat number 19. The fast boat is safe for younger children.

The hotel pickup was on time and the car was clean. Breakfast on board consisted of bananas, muffins, and drinks. You need to fill out the passenger manifest. The guide tries hard to explain the precautions in English. They talk for a long time, but to summarize: when heading to the island, you will transfer to a smaller boat (a long-tail boat) and get off at the island's floating pier. Your feet won't get wet. The paths on the island consist of extremely steep, ladder-like stairs, so please pay attention to your footwear. Since it is a national park, do not swim outside of designated areas. When snorkeling, please borrow a mask from the staff on the island. Don't lose it. Those who want to kayack can transfer to a kayak from the back of the boat. For that, we will lend you a waterproof bag, so put your valuables in it and take it with you. Also, the boat has free water, cola, and sprite in a cooler box, so please help yourself with a cup. Please throw trash in the trash can. We also sell beer, snacks, instant noodles, and smartphone waterproof cases, so please check them out. The boat travels slowly at around 10 knots. Just take it easy. Along the way, your cell phone signal might drop to 3G. Lunch is served after returning from the first island by small boat, where food is plated one by one in order, cafeteria-style. It is not a buffet. It might be difficult for picky eaters. Please wear a life jacket for kayaking, taking small boats, and snorkeling. On the way back, a tip box will somehow appear. It's a tour you can enjoy even if you don't understand English. However, you can't expect much from the snorkeling. There are no fish and no coral reefs. You would be better off joining a tour to places like Koh Tao where that is the main focus. The underwater area is full of rocks, so even if you wear water shoes, it will hurt. There are showers on the island. You can also change clothes there.

our guides, mikey, Dennis, mr arm & captain jack sparrow were incredible, especially mikey, he was so happy, funny and nothing was to much for him, he also played music. The boat trip itself was very bumpy but me & my family enjoyed that. We didnt see much while snorkeling at koh tao which was slightly disappointing but cant be helped. koh nangyuan was the most beautiful place we have ever seen, my teenagers walked to the viewpoint which they loved. & the water there where you can snorkel was absolutely insane, so clear & warm. We were given toast & hot/cold drinks before we left, then had lunch on a beach at koh tao which was lovely. There was also water/diet coke & Pepsi on board the boat which you could help yourself too. Would recommend this trip.

boat stopped mid way due to broken thing, the guid was insanley good

Very well organized and great spots. Only the light breakfast is a bit sparse.

Our tour of Cheow Lan Lake and Samet Nangshe viewpoint was an absolute dream. The emerald waters and towering limestone cliffs of Khao Sok were breathtaking, followed by the most spectacular, panoramic sunrise views at Samet Nangshe.A huge, heartfelt thank you to our incredible tour guide, Lily, whose deep knowledge, warm energy, and bright smile made every moment special. We also deeply appreciate our driver, who ensured we had a safe, smooth, and completely stress-free journey throughout the day.This impeccably organized trip is a must-do. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting southern Thailand!
