You'll stop by Monkey Cave, and see what the inside of a Buddhist temple is like
Your expert local guide knows the Khao Sok well and will make sure you don't miss a thing
What to expect
The Khao Sok River really is a sight to behold. Watch it unravel between the rocks as you raft down the river and experience the surroundings from up close on this full day tour. We'll then cap it off with a visit to an elephant sanctuary and the Monkey Cave Temple. Anchali, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘With limestone rocks shrouded in forest and jungle vegetation tangled along the banks, Khao Sok River has to be seen to be believed. Silently drifting through this oasis, you'll hear the wildlife all around us - from a variety of birdlife...

The guide was amazing and really made the whole trip special. It was more travelling than I expected. The bamboo rafting was fun but it was torrential rain and prob wasn't the safest weather to do it in. Some didn't have ponchos - given the weather, should have been provided. Monkey temple and elephants were fab too.

Kunde ha varit en guide som kunde bättre engelska. Guidens engelska var ofta oförståelig och han berättade inte så mycket. Jag gjorde exakt samma tur från Kao Lak för två år sedan och då var guiden mycket bättre.

Leider wurde konnte bei de Floßfahrt keines des beschriebenen Tiere (Vögel, Eidechsen, Gibbons und sogar Schlangen) gesichtet werden. Dies ist auch nicht verwunderlich, da der Fluss nahe der Straße entlangfließt und die Flöße mit einem lauten Außenbordmotor zurückgeschleppt werden. Das muss auch dem Veranstalter/TUI bekannt sein und stellt m.E. eine bewusste Irreführung/Täuschung dar. Laut Guide ist das normal, "es wurde mal eine Schlange gesehen".

Our guide was excellent, group size was small, and driver drove safely. The river rafting is wonderful and was our favourite part of the trip. No riding at the elephant sanctuary which was good from an animal welfare perspective. Long day driving but worth it!

I liked everything about the day, the only reason I gave an 8 for safety was you had to be very careful walking in a few places but I don't know how that could be remedied, but all in all a brilliant day out.

The day was really lovely, our guide Cherry was so kind and thought us about both animals and vegetation. The highlight was of course the elephants, that alone would we worth the long car ride. The driver and guide made sure we drank enough water through the day also. I am really happy we did this trip! The only thing that was disappointing was the rafting on the river. You could hear traffic from nearby and they kept coming upstream with VERY noisy motors to bring back the rafts all the time :(

Guide was very knowledgeable and happy to help with any questions. She was able to tell us all about the diffrent trees on the way to the excursion, explaining what they use each one for, eating or making the inside of their pillows was just some of the things .

The whole day was very well organised, our guide Sun was really informative, friendly and helpful throughout the whole day. Drinks supplied throughout, lovely food and Sun even provided tissues ahead of using toilets knowing there would be non in there. The whole trip was great fun with the highlight being the elephants who are clearly well looked after.

Alles gut organisiert, gut erklärt und umgesetzt. Das Elefanten Camp war schön, allerdings bin ich hin und her gerissen zwischen... es ist schön ein Foto mit einem Elefanten zu haben und ihn zu füttern , aber andererseits muss es sein das die Tiere den ganzen Tag von Menschen gebadet werden? (Haben wir nicht gemacht! ) Aber das ist unsere Meinung. Sonst war alles super!

What an amazing experience. This was the highlight of our holiday. The river rafting was awesome, we were all looked after very well. Rafting down the river and seeing the jungle was an awesome experience. Our guide on the raft made us cups out of bamboo and we had coffe in the jungle. We got to meet the elephants and we got to feed them. I was very emotional to get close to these beautiful animals. I will never forget this experience. All staff was a credit and they were so attentive.

An amazing, once in a lifetime experience which was the highlight of our Holiday, I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone as a truly special memory to savour for many years to come. An authentic local experience allowing you to get truly close to the Elephants within a National Park environment, everything about the day, from the genuine interest of the tour guide to the standard of food and friendliness of everyone involved made the day a very special one.
