Great variety of nature and culture - We spent the day on this tour and it was very good. It was a hot day so by the end we were pretty tired but overall a very good experience. Absolutely loved the canoe trip in little Amazon. We saw a lot of wildlife and our canoe guide was wonderful. We enjoyed the Tsunami memorial but it was a bit underwhelming however that was not the fault of the tour operator. Our guide Mr. Peerpong added a lot of cool information. Then he took us to the Takua Pa marketplace and we were amazed at the scope of this open air food market. Most interesting array of produce, meat, fish etc. Not like a typical farmer's market at home, this is like nothing you have seen. We then had a truly special lunch at the national park. Food was so good, it was on par with a restaurant. Not kidding, the food was exceptional and more than you could eat. Our trek in the Si phang Nga national park was great and we liked the Tam Nang waterfall. We took off shoes and waded into the water which was really fun! The visit to the temple was also very cool. Only thing that was just a waste was the drive through and visit to the old town which in our mind was a "run down" tired old city. We realize there was history but it was nothing that we will never forget and because it was at the end we were tired.. So our guide Mr. Peerpong was fabulous! Super nice, very smart, beyond thoughtful and kind! We loved him and you will too. Ask for him!

An Enlightening Experience - My husband and I were lucky enough to be the only ones booked on the tour when we went on it. Our guide was really good, he changed the order of some of the experiences to suit us. It was very good to get a locals experience of the tsunami and see the changes to the local environment through his eyes. We would not have appreciated what we saw as much without him. His explaination of the life and enlightenment of Buddha was so insightful. We have been to many temples previously but this was by far the best tour. The swim in the waterfall was so refreshing as it was a hot day. It's a beautiful place. The Cultural and Nature tour is a great introduction to Khao Lak.

Amazing sights with great information - Mr Teerapong was a wonderful guide, very friendly and spoke very good English. He gave a very comprehensive tour/information of the places we visited and went out of his way to be of service. The tour was amazing, especially the Little Amazon and waterfalls. I would highly recommend this company.

Fabulous small group tour. - Fabulous small group tour! My family of 4 went on the James Bond Aqua Safari. We decided to go with Khao Lak Vista based on their great reviews and smaller group tours. We weren’t interested in being jammed in with a huge tour group. In total we had 6 adults which was perfect. Our tour guide Tony was excellent. Very friendly and informative. Highlights of the tour for me- * Travelling on the traditional Thai long boat. The scenery was spectacular. * Canoe ride throughout the caves and mangroves. * Lunch at the floating fishing village. So interesting. * View from James Bond Island was lovely. I found James Bond Island was full of tourists. Best to only spend a short amount of time there. Get pics and leave. ( my opinion) * Due to the dry whether we didn’t go to the waterfall. Went to the Buddha Cave of Phang Nga. Lots of monkeys you can feed if you like. * Spectacular view from Samed Nangshee viewpoint. Take some small currently for tipping ( if you wish) we tipped the canoe paddlers and the Long boat driver. And of course out tour guide. Would highly recommend Khao Lak Vista tour group. Will definitely use them again on our next trip to Thailand.

Unforgettable day in Khao Sok! - The full day tour with Mr.Teerapong today was relaxed and full of lovely experiences. The guide took excellent care of us, pointed out lots of interesting plans and animals, told us about local etiquette. We started on a bamboo raft that took us to a Buddhist temple in a cave. We saw bats and fed fish (suuuper fun! Don’t miss this). We had a delicious lunch with more anecdotes about the sister of a famous Muay Thai fighter. The absolute highlight was bathing with a 13 year old elephant called Bai Kuai (means banana leaf). The sanctuary didn’t participate in any unethical practices. We scrubbed Bau Kuai in a river and fed her afterwards. Totally private and amazing experience!! The last stop was a monkey temple where we cautiously observed and later fed the animals. All of this was booked the afternoon before we arrived in Khao Sok ❤️ highly recommend!
