Fabulour trip - air conditioned bus - about 2 hours both ways but well worth the travel.
For those who have the adventure spirit in them (like us), they would enjoy the 3.5 hours one way drive. After that, we loved both parts of the trip, the elephant trekking which was outstanding, and the kayaking that was so relaxing. In between we had a great lunch Thai buffet that we loved too.
The tour was very well organised. It was a very long journey from Phuket (Kata) up to the jungle - around 3 hours each way and we weren't quite prepared for it to take that long. However the bus was comfortable and we stopped for coffee along the way. Consequently it was a full day but with 6 hours of driving!
Once we got there it was straight into the canoe, which was very relaxing and pretty amazing to be going through the jungle - and by jungle it really looked like something from a film - it was *that* perfect! The canoe trip was lots of fun.
The lunch was very good - loads of well cooked food and plenty to drink
The elephants were the real stars of the day - not only did they look really happy, they were real characters and it was the most fun to ride through the jungle on them. We had the opportunity to pet and feed them (they particularly like watermelon) at the end, which added a whole other level to the experience!
The day tour guides were a little american in their enthusiasm, and muttered a little which meant that we didn't learn what they were trying to teach us - but we'd had such a good time it didn't really matter.
I'd recommend this trip to all ages - everyone seemed to have a really enjoyable day.
Our guide was very friendly, the drive was long but we were very comfortable. The whole experience was just brilliant. One of the highlights was our Elephant Trainer sang Thai songs throughout our trek. He also pointed out natural fauna and wildlife. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
The jungle was beautiful and the guide was very sweet. She did a great job of explaining everything. The elephant ride and the canoe ride was very nice. The only thing I didn't like was that it took 3 hrs to drive there from Phuket, but to get to the jungle there is no other way. It was worth it.
Really grey day out. The canoe ride was long and relaxing. Our guide was very informative and pointed out all the animals and sights. The elephant trek was fun too and our rider was very entertaining.
One of the highlights of the trip. Over an hour and a half on the river in inflatables and an equal time going into the back country on the elephants. They definitely do NOT put one on an elephant for a photo shoot and walk you around the paddock. It was fantastic.
This trip was absolutely amazing, though buffet was pretty bad. Guide was really good at speaking English. A shame we didn't do this the first day as this guy explained everything about Phuket to us. Absolutely brilliant.
This tour was just the best. The canoe trip down the river was great, with very friendly guides and amazing scenery and plenty of birdlife to be seen. The elephant ride afterwards was everything I had hoped for. Such a pleasant and enjoyable ride through the jungle on the back of a gentle giant. We even had the opportunity to feed the elephants afterwards, which was just great. I thoroughly recommend this tour.
The canoe ride is amazing, it even includes a coffee break in the middle of the jungle! Elephant trekking in the afternoon is also amazing. I felt very privileged by having this experience. I was also well-looked after by the guides.
We did this trip on my birthday- March 30th.
The mini bus was very modern and nice, but rather a long drive. The trip went well even in the heavy rain
Fantastic tour, really enjoyed the ride in the jungle. A must do trip for all
This safari was great fun and made for a very enjoyable day. We took a long time traveling, though, to get there and back. We were lucky that we brought some money, as we were expected to tip the canoe driver, the elephant driver, the driver of the minivan, and the tour guide
Beautiful scenery. The guide was funny and knowledgeable about Khao Sok and Thailand. Great place to take pics and small friendly group made it more fun.
Wonderful. The elephant camp was amazing. Superb lunch supplied and a pleasant tea break by the river. We enjoyed the enthusiasm of our guide. A great day out.
