Sweet elephants!
We had so much fun hanging out with three beautiful female elephants. They seem to take great care of these animals and visitors are not allowed to touch the animals. We were able to prepare food for them, feed them by throwing bananas and sugar cane sticks near them and watched the oldest girl bathe in the river. It was an incredible visit.

Another world!
This lake is beautiful and truly makes you feel like you are in another world. The limestone cliffs are gorgeous. The visit to the cave was really cool too! We had the sweetest tour guide, Gay. Absolutely adored her as she is so much fun to be around and has great energy and fun facts to share through out the journey.

James Bond Island tour
What a great tour especially when you have a guide like Boom and canoe paddler like Kim. Getting to see where they filmed The Man with the Golden Gun was surreal especially if you’re a fan like I am. The buffet lunch was delicious and seeing the floating market and school was incredible.

Fabulous, must do
What a great few hours and strongly recommend it to anyone.
We started in the market with Sarah and learnt about the local foods and where they are sourced from, Then into central Khao lak for our cooking school. We were a group of 4 and as there were 10 participants on the day, we were split into 2 groups - so we all had plenty of space and time cooking. Wandee is the head chef, having worked overseas, and got huge knowledge of Thai food and cooking. She has a great personality, made it fun and interesting and they also asked us for our favourite Thai dishes in advance so they could tailor the school to us.
She has a lovely team and even though it was a hot day in July, the cooking area is well shaded and cool and we didnt overheat (just over ate!!)
We know have recipes and loads of tips to cook better Thai at home - cant recommend this more highly and I will repeat when I come back next year

At this point in our trip...
At this point in our trip we had been all over Thailand, and our whole group agreed it was one of our favorite days. We went in low season and were lucky enough to only have 5 people total. Our guide was Perry, she was amazing, took great care of us, and even brought us snacks to try. Absolutely the sweetest. Views on the tour were stunning and so worth it. Lunch was provided and (as a picky eater) probably the best food to date on the trip. So so yummy. Absolutely would take this tour again.

Fantastic ATV experience
The ATV 2 hrs experience was fantastic. Staff gave an introduction how to operate the vehicle then off you go. Very attentive with one staff leading and 1 staff trailing. We did off road and through the water. Just a little challenge to have fun , but also keeping it safe. They took photos and videos along the way and WhatsApp us at the end.

Best snorkeling trip for serious snorkelers
Phuket’s Best Trip for Real Snorkelers
If you are a serious snorkeler, skip the high-rated Phi Phi "mass-market" tours. Those trips target casual tourists who often can't swim and prioritize buffet food or Instagram photos over the water. On those tours, I’ve been forced to wear a life jacket and stuck in crowded spots where guides feed fish for "pretty pictures."
This trip is different. It’s tailored for people who prioritize underwater time over everything else.
The Highlights:
• Cultural Start: Visited a Moken village to see their unique, traditional way of life.
• Serious Snorkeling: Three distinct spots with 30–40 minutes of swim time at each.
• Marine Life: Stunning reefs, diverse fish, and I even spotted a small shark.
• Expert Crew: Very competent captains and guides who actually know the water.
The only downside:
It is extremely far from Phuket (we stayed in Karon). Mentally prepare for several hours of travel each way, but it is 100% worth it if you want to escape the crowds.
I struggled to find a non-tourist-trap excursion and was hesitant due to the low review count, but this exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for enthusiasts.

Good experience
Very good organised trip, Marta our guide was very informative and pleasant. Water rafting was good and an experience whilst here in Thailand. Take a towel and change of clothing as we did get a little wet. It was a nice half day trip for us which also included the turtle sanctuary and the waterfall was dry at this time of year but she took us to a temple instead. Glad we did it.

Great tour check prices
The timing was super . We visited the temple before it opened to tourist we were alone. The Khao sok lake was amazing the lunch 5 stars.the bamboo raft ok. All in all a great day
The neg for me was the price differences between me and others in my group. I traveled solo and had to pay a premium 185 € another man also traveled solo and only paid 65€ . So do your best to find prices or even wait until you come. I booked 6 months in advance. .
Like I said a great activity but an unfair price difference.

I had a wonderful...
I had a wonderful experience visiting the Similan Islands. The organization of the tour was excellent from start to finish, everything was smooth and well planned. The two guides were very professional, friendly, and gave clear instructions that made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
I also really appreciated the attention to dietary preferences. Since I don’t eat meat, they kindly offered me a fish option, which was thoughtful and much appreciated.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Similan Islands!

Unforgettable private snorkelling experience
My partner and I, due to a packed schedule, had to decided on a snorkelling experience to cancel. It came down to either this experience or one of the more famous ones on the Similan Islands.
We can categorically say that we are very happy that we chose this one.
We opted for a private tour and we were picked up from our resort and transported to a local fishing village where their operation is. From there we were greeted by Sam who joined us on our tour. From the get go we could tell he was a highly qualified and passionate guide and he made the whole trip a pleasure. Even as we made our way to the reef he gave information on the local area and wildlife (including monkeys).
When we arrived at the reef, we were fitted with our gear (which we had preselected sizes) and we hopped into the water. We were very lucky that the weather was immaculate and the waters were crystal clear. From here we were granted a very generous hour to swim at leisure and snorkel around the area, where an amazing array of marine wildlife was visible. On this day we missed out on sea turtles, but, the sheer variety of other wildlife more than made up for this.
Once we finished we were taken by boat to a private beach/dining area where we were served a delicious local lunch and were permitted to roam around the area. The beach itself stretched far in both directions and was great for private walks/swims. Once we were done our guides happily transported us back to our resort.
If you want a great wildlife experience without the crazy crowds we highly recommend this and we would do it again.

5 stars *****
Absolutely fantastic tour with very experienced and attentive guide and crew. The snorkel locations were so great - we saw angel fish, clown fish, parrot fish and beautiful coral reefs. The time at the sea gypsy village was really fascinating and we all loved meeting the locals. We saw flying lemurs and pig macaques on Surin island. Snacks, drinks , breakfast, lunch and dinner were included. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Khao Lak is famous for its beautiful beaches and easy access to the Thai islands. To explore the area with ease, take one of the many Khao Lak tours on offer––there’s something for everyone. Zip over to James Bond Island, featured in The Man With the Golden Gun; hop on a traditional bamboo raft for a serene turtle-spotting excursion; or admire elephants in their natural habitat at a sanctuary. Of course, no trip to Thailand would be complete without a cooking lesson, where you can learn to whip up classic Thai dishes such as red curry and pad thai.
