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.

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.

It's a great tour for those wanting to see more of Thailand than Phuket can offer. The tour takes you to one of the largest national parks in Thailand and the scenery is beautiful. What they do not mention however is that it will take you about 3 hours to get from Phuket to the park and 3 hours back again of course with a coffee break along the way. We thought that we would be able to read a book on the way so we weren't too worried about the travel time, however the mini bus we rode in either had no suspension or the road to Khao Sok is very, very bumpy. But not all was bad. The Elephant trek was amazing and made the travel time more worthwhile. I haven't been trekking on an elephant in Phuket or anywhere for that matter, so it is hard to compare but I can't imagine the other treks would offer such amazing surroundings. You trek through the rainforest with limestone cliffs towering over you for quite a lengthy time before returning to feed your elephant a fruit basket, if you wish for the cost of 100 Bhat, it's worth it. The kayaking down the river gives you a good chance to take in the surroundings. I was a little disappointed not seeing any wildlife apart from snakes rapped up in the trees, however we are in formed that during the hotter months when we travelled, animals are less often seen.

Very little to offer for the price. The elephant trek was notable for the total lack of interesting sights and the canoe trip was a very sub standard adventure. All in all a complete wash out in terms of value for money.
