Relaxed day in the national park - An eventful and relaxing day in the beauty of nature! First we took a rowboat on crystal clear spring water through a picturesque landscape before switching to a motorboat after the onward journey to be navigated through the natural beauties of the reservoir. We also visited a stalactite cave. Our guide Preaw accompanied us very expertly and full of good humor through the day and answered all our many questions patiently. A big compliment! Thanks also to Toto for organizing! J. & A.

Great day fantastic location - Oil was the perfect host enthusiastic and great fun. A lot of travelling but a full day of activities. Only disappointment was the swim in the lake not very clear and difficult to get on and off the boat

Mystical atmosphere in fog and rain - Very nice travel companion who knows the Khao Sok National Park well. Great and easy organization. Absolute must-see search in rain!

The ONLY tour company to bother with in this area. - We did 5 (FIVE) tours with this company in a two week period. They were that good. The guides are tremendous: special mention to Oil and Mong, but all of them were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Door to door service with everything thought of and prepared for, you don’t have to worry about a thing. On some tours we were the only family and meant we effectively had a private tour - on the the other days, the group was never more than 8 - this meant you could always see and hear everything. These tours are organised by people who obviously understand the best times to visit places to get the best experience and never once did we feel crowded or uncomfortable. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting the best experience in Khao Lak/ Khao Sok.

Amazing scenery - We enjoyed this day very much long day but spectacular scenery started off in sunshine and ended with rain but still had a great day. Make sure to canoe along the creek at Emerald pool fantastic reflections and crystal clear water.

Khao Sok national park not to be missed! - We were picked up on time, emailed before hand to confirm timing and the driver was safe and vehicle very comfortable. The tour itself had only 4 people, nice to get away from the tourist madhouse of Khao Lake resort beaches. The guide was okay; he had a painful stomach the first day so was not very talkative or informative. It would have been nice to hear about the region, culture, religion, history.... anything about Thailand. The short paddle at Emerald pool was magical-- quiet, clear, cool water in a lush forest. Wish we could have stayed longer. Cheow Lan Lake (reservoir) and surrounding karst mountains are spectacular--wild, remote, endless, and enchanting, not to be missed, the highlight our Thailand trip. Again however, our guide provided very little if any information on our long boat rides-- more like wandering around for 1-2 hours hoping to see some animals from the boat along the lake shore. The overnight at the house boat complex was very basic, beds uncomfortable, smelly bathroom, passable food, and unhappy looking staff. Once we got off the lake, we had lunch at a small restaurant-- great food, best Thai food while in southern Thailand. Finally on our drive back to Khao Lak, I directly asked our guide many questions about his country, culture, and its history. He responded and we learned a lot and wished the 2 day, 1 night trip could have had more of that from the beginning.

Recommended excursion. - Booked through Get You Guide. Picked up at 07h in the hotel, then a 2h ride in a minibus to Emerald Pool where we first did a half hour canoe and then could enjoy the landscaped pool. Beautiful in nature and fun for photos. Then to Cheow Lan Lake and first a view over the dam. Then sailed with a long tale boat on the lake, to the known rocks. Very nice. Then lunch in a floating village, was moderate in quality and diversity. Then back on the lake by boat and after a swim stop back to the harbour and the return trip by minibus. Back at the hotel around 6pm.
