The guide was excellent.... - The guide was excellent. We had our 7 year son do the trek. It was not easy but he did it. We took plenty of rest breaks and no pressure was put on us. Very enjoyable.

Nice half day trip - Our guides are friendly and helpful, full of humor, lot of fun on the way. A bit walking up steep slopes is involved but lot of distance we have travelled in a van. So good for people who wants to be a bit active but still want something more relaxing.

Best hike to Big Buddha - There are a lot of ways to get to Big Buddha, but this is by far the best way! This has been one of the highlights of our trip! Our tour guides were very knowledgeable, engaging, and most importantly, SO FUN! We were all laughing the whole hike, while learning about the plants and wildlife we come across. It was also great to have a guide that was able to give provide us with the history and traditions of Thailand. We were provided with plenty of water and snacks to keep our energy up, and the lunch at the end was top notch. They took a bunch of great photos of us, too!

Fun experience with CC’s Ecotour through nature and culture! - Jungle hiking tour with CC’s Ecotour was super fun! The guide was very funny as well! Next to that, his English is great and he knew a lot of the history.
The hiking was tiring but fun! We also stopped during our hike for a coconut and a little snack. Once at Big Buddha we were allowed to walk around on our own, same at the temple. At the temple we even participated in some of the traditional rituals.
We ended the day with delicious lunch!

See some jungle instead of a taxi to see Big Buddha - I did the steep hike up to see Big Buddha (wear good shoes!), our guide was the wonderful and humorous James Bond.
Hiking up through the jungle, we had plenty of breaks and there was a nice snack waiting us after the hike. Around the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, our guide told us about the culture and Buddhism, and there was also some time to roam around. And finally a nice lunch. Water bottles were also included.
Hiking through the jungle was a lot more interesting way to see the Big Buddha than just taking a bus/taxi.

Interesting Tour! - This was a multi-faceted tour. It started with the hike up the mountain to the Big Buddha. While not that long, it was pretty steep in parts. I loved it, but I love to hike. I sensed some of the others were struggling a bit, particularly with the heat. Afterwards, we stopped at a bar/restaurant and had a cool drink and took in lovely views. Then it was off to the Buddha, which was remarkable and truly worth the visit. Finally, we ate a nice lunch at the end of the tour. Our guide (sorry, I can't recall his name), did a great job with the group. If you don't mind a bit of exercise on the front end of the day, I can highly recommend this tour.
