We had an amazing day on the bamboo rafting. Yes the drive was long from patong but that wasnt an issue for us at all as it gives you an opportunity to see what's around. The bamboo rafting was so much fun! We even stopped for a nice refreshing dip in the river. The turtle sanctuary was awesome. It made me so happy being here seeing all the turtles that have been rescued and rehabilitated as they are one of my favourite animals. We went to the elephants ans quad bikes as other members of the tour had these booked. We opted out of these but we did buy a basket of bananas to feed the elephants. We also enjoyed a nice drink of chang while waiting for the people on the quads. The monkey temple was beautiful and the monkeys were adorable! We had a lovely thai lunch and were given a nice little snack box with cake, biscuits, juice and water. The tour guide Molly was really friendly and we learnt a lot from her during the day. And a big shout out to the driver as it was a very long day for him too! Overall this was a highly recommended tour that myself and my husband thoroughly enjoyed.

deshini_m, Sep 2025

The bamboo rafting was such a wonderful and unique experience. The transport there was a little long, crowded and hot, but that is par for the course. Even the monkey feeding was amazing!

Michelle_S, Aug 2025

Wouldn't recommend this tour with children. We were made sit in bus for 26 mins on side of the road.

The bamboo rafting was...

cathy_t, Mar 2025

The bamboo rafting was awesome, so was the turtle conservation centre, the waterfall was a lot smaller than expected, the monkeys were so cute, I just couldn’t enter the temple, I didn’t have my shoulders covered

Great activities - appalling driver

Bob_C, Mar 2025

The actual activities were excellent and was our guide, the driver of our vehicle was appalling I had to repeatedly ask to slow down, he was speeding 130 kph in an 80 twice nearly ran into to rear of other vehicles. Clearly was overriding the speed limiter as plug a USB into vehicle and when at Police check point it was removed and put in his pocket, then when pulling away put it in again. Considering this was a vehicle carrying multiple passengers the behaviour was appalling. The one star rating is because of the driver - the activity was excellent.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the activities and had a great experience with the guide. However, we are deeply concerned about the unsafe driving behavior you described. Safety is our top priority, and what you experienced is completely unacceptable. We sincerely apologize for the distress this caused, and we will immediately address this matter with our transportation team to ensure that all drivers follow strict safety regulations. No guest should ever feel unsafe during their journey. Your feedback is invaluable, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you have any further details to share, please do not hesitate to reach out. Best regards, Oh-Hoo Travel

Fantastic Day

Phillip_P, Apr 2024

Wow, amazing day we had. Loved the elephant ride, bamboo rafting and swimming in the lagoon where the waterfall falls (only people there). Thank You, Molly and the driver who went above and beyond making our day memorable.

Great day trip

Wendy_J, Apr 2024

We really enjoyed the day. Very well organised and everything exactly as described. We even were able to add in an elephant experience on the day.

Riding on the bamboo...

Sherilyn_B, Aug 2023

Riding on the bamboo rafts down a quick flowing river was fun and exciting. Seeing a few different animals and birds added further interest.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Reviews dont lie

David_K, Apr 2023

I got picked up at 8am and didn't come back till 7pm and all I did was bamboo raft 100m down a river that wasn't that deep in less than 10minutes. If you have the whole day to waste in exchange for 10minutes of "fun" then go ahead and book.

Unreal experience

Bethany_H, Dec 2022

Such an unreal experience and did a lot more than i thought we’d do. Turtle conservation centre was so good and all staff amazing

Very poor organisation, it's a waste of time am money

Ioana_K, Jul 2022

I'm very disappointed with the tour. We have booked 2 activities. Very simple ones. Was supposed to be half day tour. But you placed us in a different bus. Without informing us. Having to spened double the time on the trip than we were expecting.No to mantion that I am a vegan, and have chosen two activities that don't mean interaction with animals. And I was forced to attend animal abuse as watching elephants forced to do riding, and turtles drowning in concrete walls. It wasn't at all what was expected.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for booking with us and for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback on this. 1. The customer's program is a short program and the customer goes by a joy car, which has another hotel customer who is a long program, so customers have to wait for other people. 2. We do not know that the customer is a Vegan. You must inform in advance that you are Vegan so we can prepare meals. 3. Our bamboo program will take customers to see the turtles that the park has raised in the pond. 4. Because there are bamboo customers who enjoy with them, there are elephant rides and elephant bathing. So customers have to wait for other customers. However, we are sorry for that.

Too long

Philip_N, Jan 2022

The bamboo rafting was great. But too many other experiences were packed in. Some like monkey cave were not that interesting. I'd have preferred a more focussed agenda with a decent hike + bamboo rafting. Because of the multiple destinations the whole tour including transfers was 12 hours. Far too long, especially during Covid where we are trying to limit contact with others. Way too long in the bus.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you for booking with us and for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback on this. We appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation. Thank you again!

Great day out with many...

Paul_H, Dec 2021

Great day out with many things to do . Loved the monkey temple needed a little longer, turtles were good but best was the rafting

Great relaxing experience but it's a drive to get there

Jeffrey_C, Nov 2021

This tour was fantastic. The guide and driver were amazing. The rafting was amazing and so very relaxing. Be sure to bring swimming gear as you will get wet on the raft. Our rafting guide stopped to allow us some time to swim in one of the deep areas. The water was cool and felt wonderful. The sea turtle conservation center on the Naval Base was fantastic and our presenter there was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell he loved the turtles. Our lunch was delicious and there was so much food. 😊 Nobody left there hungry. Standard Thai food. The only thing I didn't devour was the som tam because it had crab in it and tasted too fishy for my taste. The waterfall stop was great. Be sure to walk all the way to the top of the path. That is the best place to jump into the water and float around to cool off. Very picturesque. The last stop was feeding the monkeys and visiting the temple. The monkey feeding was nice and the kids and adults on the tour seemed to love it. There was some fighting between the monkeys, but that is to be expected when there is food involved. The temple was closed, presumably because we were there late. The only thing I would recommend would be to communicate the duration of free time when it is available. I got back to the bus a couple of times to find everyone waiting. Had I know how long I had it would have made it easier for me to be on time. One note though, there is a lot of traveling involved with the tour. It is not on Phuket, it is in Phang Nga. It's a solid 1¾ hour drive to get to the rafting area. We definitely thought it was worth the cost and time involved though.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

We’re thrilled you had a good time!

A golden day!!!!

thierry_c, Sep 2025

We would like to thank our guide of the day who was really perfect on all points. We received a perfect briefing at the start and at each stop we were informed about the travel time, the next activity the time to travel and the time available on site. She's really on top! She watched over the group like a lioness and in complete secrecy. The activities were also at the top with weather that allowed us to enjoy without stress each time. Not like last year with another organization that gave us time for nothing for the same activities! Didn't even have time to see the temple. This time it was the right choice! Activities at the top, organization at the top, our guide at the top! Thanks also to our driver who had to drive a lot of miles to allow us to spend this superb day! ( Les belges 😉).

Éviter si vous venez de phuket

christelle_m, Aug 2024

4heures de route Le rafting très sympa mais 30 minutes Le ratio n'est vraiment pas bon Le guide femme désagréable pas souriante Le temple aux singes il faut prévoir de se couvrir car le guide ne prévoit pas et donc vous ne pouvez pas rentrer dans le temple Le repas du midi..une cantine thai très médiocre

15 minutes de bambous …..et c est tout

MICHAEL_K, Feb 2023

6h de route, 15 minutes de bambous, un petit tour d éléphant en supplément, un arrêt tortue, un arrêt singe et un arrêt cascade qui ne valent pas 6h de route.Un repas très mauvais.Mais la guide était sympathique.
