Great day tour if you are in Krabi - Great day tour on the lake if you don't want to stay in Khao Sok for a night. You get to see a big part of the lake, with amazing views, take some pictures at specific landmarks etc. The walk through the jungle is not long at all, mainly you will be on the lake. You will also get some information about the how the lake was made, whats around and so on. During the trip you do get some snacks and water and later you will be brought to the floating restaurant in which you will have a meal. Overall great location and great experience, though the price for the tour could be lower. The guide was very friendly.

Khao Sok is a Must-See! - Great trip to Khao Sok! Our guide was very knowledgeable and nice. The lunch was good and the floating restaurant was so cool! It was great that they picked us up from our hotel in Krabi too. Khao Sok is definitely a must-see if you're in Krabi or Phuket.

If you thought Thailand. Was picture perfect before, you should go in this trip - A beautiful day spent in the water. Our guide was lovely and showed us some of the amazing scenery Thailand has to offer. It was like looking at a magazine. We visited four islands. The first, Hong Island gave us the opportunity to snorkel and see some pretty fish. We the. Visited 3 more islands and swam in the sea. From the picture perfect bays. All islands were close together but felt completely different.
Great photo opportunities.
The tour operator was booked from the high street in Krabi and the boat was pretty with a very pleasant sailor.
Would recommend this trip.

You don't want to miss this place- it's a must see!! - Absolutely loved this trip to Khao Sok! I debated about taking a whole day away from Krabi and the beach, but I am so glad I did.
Our guide was so amazing- giving us history of how this lake was formed and since he lives in the jungle he gave a lot of extra fun facts on the jungle walk portion and took time showing us all the special gems of the cave we went to. So knowledgeable, thoughtful and really showed his enjoyment for his job.
I have done a lot of hiking around the world, I love to be in the mountains and this was so amazing in that it was like we were in the mountains. Seeing the towering limestone formations in front of you and layering in the distance, it was like none other and just magical and gorgeous. Pictures do not do it justice

Breathtaking Tour - This was our favourite tour we did in Thailand. Khao Sok is breathtaking. Pictures just can't do it justice. Our guide, Audi was funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about teaching us about his culture and ancestors. We were well fed and didn't find any parts of the day too crowded or rushed. Our only complaint was the length of time spent at the lunch/swimming spot was a bit too long and there were limited seating options in the shade.

Beautiful scenery all arounf - The lake is so beautiful… reminded me of the Canadian Rockies. Did not give a 5 star because I think that safety standards are a bit too low. At times we had to jump on and off the boat. Also the trek in the jungle, although quite short, was very fast paced. We did not have time to take in the peaceful atmosphere or take some photos. The guide did not care that we were an older couple in our fifties and just kept going even in steep places. Otherwise the views are fabulous.

Price not adequate to experience - The park itself is beautiful and worth visiting. However the price of $100 offered by this provider is double the maximum price that I would rate this activity. Also, the food was of a terrible quality, didnt stand near what Thai people have to offer. A quick stroll in a jungle, cave and canoeing were a nice addition to overall beauty of the park. The guide had a very friendly attitutde and did tell us a lot about the nature.

Spend most of the time moving around than doing things. - The lake is nice, but in the trip you spend 4h in the van and another 3-4 on the boat.
At the lake, you visit a cave for 15 minutes, go for a hike in the nature for 30 minutes and spend 2.5h at the restaurant. You can swim or take a canoe, but you won’t have a guide with you and the close proximity does not look so good.
The park looks like it would have nicer places to see but you do not go there.
While they say that they give water and refreshments, you do not receive anything in the first 2h bus drive or in the first part of the boat. You only get one water and one juice (except for the water at the restaurant). The food at the restaurant was enough, but kind of tasteless except for the very fried/oily taste.
The guide and the crew were not very professional and looked extremely tired and not in the mood to do the tour. Also they were very young and I would bot be surprised if most of them were under 18.
You get very few explanations and only in the cave and the jungle. No information about the park was received.
I would recommend to go independently instead of taking the tour as we feel it did not worth the money.
