Amazing experience. The caves and kayaking are by far the best part. So magical. The food was lovely. I recommend paying for the photographer if it’s available also so you can really take in what is around you instead of looking at your phone all the time

If you have a short time period in Thailand or like myself do an all in one tour to see everything. This is worth it. The lunch was better than expected.
