Full description

Begin your day tour with a hotel pick-up in Khao Lak between 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM, and depart for the river. Hop on a bamboo raft and float along the waters, relax and enjoy the stunningly beautiful rainforest around you as your raft is pulled by a local boatman. Visit a sea turtle conservation center working to save and increase the number of sea turtles in the region. The Royal Thai Navy plays an active role in turtle conservation and baby turtles are brought to the center, where they are nursed for 6-8 months before being released into the sea. Finish the tour with a trip to Ton Pling Waterfall, the most popular waterfall in the area. Experience the lovely atmosphere and marvel at the amazing environment surrounding you. Swim in the small ponds at the waterfall and just enjoy the relaxing ambiance, before being dropped off back at your hotel.

The rafting was great fun! Make sure you wear clothes that can get wet!!! Turtles were too cute, the guide knew plenty of information regarding the rescue of the turtles. The Waterfall was beautiful, we did enjoy a swim in the fresh clear water. Our guide Nok was so lovely and spike English well. She was very informative and helpful.

Our guide was the best!

We had the pleasure of being only our family, making it easy to adapt to our needed, we had an infant and a 5-year old with us. Our guide was almost fluent in English, which gave us the possibility to engage into conversation and understanding more about Thai culture. We really enjoyed the turtle rescue center and rafting, it was very fun for us and the 5year old. The waterfall was okay, but very crowded.

This trip is amazing! Everything was just perfect. The guide, the stops and the weather, we couldn’t have asked for more. The guide was so sweet and kind, he did his job very vel. We can’t say what part that were the best, because everything was the Best! We recommend everyone to go on the trip - AND remember to bring their swimwear, you can get a lille bit wet on the bamboorafting and you have to jump in the waterfall!
