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.

Fantastic trip with guide Charlie. Pick up from hotel was efficient with pick up time being emailed previously. Taken to the bamboo rafting, were were gently positioned into the raft to float along in peace and quiet with only jungle noises. I have a fear of snakes, but the ones we were shown, were safely sleeping in the trees! After the rafting we were given bottles of cold water and fresh fruit to eat. Charlie talked us through the produce on the farm and got us trying raw chillies indifferent couples and strengths. Then onto the Turtle conservation centre, which is within a Naval base. We were guided around the various tanks and saw turtles of different ages. Mire information is in Rnglush posters dotted around. Try and walk to the beach which is totally unspoilt. There is a small memorial to the 2024 Tsunami. A great half day trip suitable for the family. Top marks to Charlie

We had a great time. Went to 3 different places and none of them for too long. The kids loved it. The raft was fun, the turtles were cute and the waterfall although small and busy was exciting

We quite enjoyed the trip. The rafting, even a little snack after, seeing turtles and a refreshing swim - all went smoothly. It felt a bit rushed at times, but I guess it’s the case with all half day tours. Our guide was super sweet and was taking photos and videos of our family which she shared later. Overall we had a nice morning.
Amazing half-day trip

5/5! The guide and driver were fantastic. Smiling, laughing and chatting. Pick up and drop off were seamless and they went out of their way to make sure you stayed hydrated and even organised watermelon at the half way point! 🍉
