We had an unforgettable 8-hour tour with an exceptional guide. The day started with a punctual pickup, and throughout the trip, we enjoyed a constant supply of cool water, cola, and fresh snacks. Our guide, Oil, was super friendly, fluent in both German and English, and truly passionate about her work. Every detail was handled perfectly, and we felt completely cared for. The tour included a peaceful canoe ride through the jungle, an overwater trip to a bat-filled cave (flashlights and cleaning wipes were provided), lunch at a lovely lakeside venue, and a refreshing swim in a lagoon. Our guide shared fascinating insights about the land, its people, and the places we visited, adding depth to the experience. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to detail made the tour truly exceptional. We highly recommend this tour and the guides. It was a well-organized, memorable adventure!

Beautiful day out to Khao Sok, the emerald pools are stunning - but cold but so worth getting on. The walk down you really experience the jungle…. Spiders monkeys and other bugs!! Khao Sok itself is incredible, something out of a film! The boat trip was comfortable, funny and we got soaked from a sudden downpour but our fabulous guide Perry gave us all ponchos. Dinner in the raft was delicious. An overall amazing day!!

It was a memorable experience! Our guide was so extroverted and enthusiastic. She immediately made us feel comfortable to ask her anything and she had an answer to anything. The trip itself was beautiful. We went first to the emerald pool (not the one in Krabi) where we could swim and go by kayak. I recommend having someone row for you since in this way you move the fastest and you can see all the nature around you. Thereafter came the dam and the lake. The trip by longboat takes around an hour with a stop for photos with three rock pillars and a very tiny trek through a cave. We then had lunch on a floating restaurant where we could also do kayaking and swimming. The best thing about everything was that we were just me, my girlfriend and another couple. We saw other boats more crowded and neither had the lunch at the restaurant.
