Khao Sok National Park

Cheow Lan Lake longtail boat cruise

Cave tour

‘Floating' lunch

What to expect

With its limestone cliffs, lush rainforests and beautiful lake, Khao Sok National Park is one of Thailand's natural treasures. On this excursion, you'll visit the lake, trek through the rainforest and dine in one of the floating bamboo huts. A perfect day in the heart of a Jurassic world.Right from the go, this is a tour steeped in drama. A longtail boat takes you from the Rajjaprabha Dam for a trip around the Cheow Lan Lake, where you'll be surrounded by towering, limestone cliffs. Then it's back on land for a guided trek through the rainforest with an experienced local ranger. Keep your eyes peeled for monkeys swinging in the trees and if you're lucky you might see the world's largest flower – the endemic rafflesia kerrii.Next, you'll explore some of the park's caves before a lunch with a twist – you'll dine in one of the floating bamboo huts in the middle of the lake. Afterwards, there'll be free time to relax and swim in the lake.

The minibus journey to and from hotels was a bit long but then it was clearly advertised as such so no complaints. The whole day was excellent and our guide (English name Gift), the driver "pet" and the boat captain were all excellent hosts. Gift was very thorough and helpful and took time to speak to all on the trip (9 of us in total of different nationalities). She was a great guide. Spectacular scenery and photo opportunities on the long tail boat and the lunch and stopover on the floating

Such a brilliant excursion - A must if you’re staying nearby (2-3 hour drive). Good pickup from the hotel which then included a drive through the rainforest to get to Khao Sok. Enjoyable long tail boat ride with the best views. Very knowledgeable tour guide with excellent English. Lovely traditional Thai lunch.

Great experience! Long journey from Khao Lak (3hrs) but got to stop for coffee/breakfast en route (not included). Longtail boat on Cheow Lan lake was fun and super stunning surroundings - take raincoat if offered! Hike was enjoyable but wear decent shoes for it, especially if raining (I had flipsflops and it was a challenge). Caving slippy but fun, not for faint hearted (dark, bats, spiders). Floating restaurant good fun, food ok - we hired a canoe (deposit only, money back when return paddles).

If I could recommend any experience this would be tops, Amazing day, scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, The guide and driver were great, it does take 2 hours drive to get there but you get to see the country. Long tail boat was fab too, Trek through jungle could have been longer as didn’t see any wildlife but enjoyed it anyway. The cave was really narrow and not easy to walk round but it’s a cave. Lots of bats. Highly recommend this experience

The boat trip is stunning and absolutely worth a visit. I would have liked more information along the way of what we were seeing and the guide didn’t know much about the area but a lot about the Dam (but maybe that’s how it is). The hike waant really worth while, we didn’t see any animals or specific places. The lunch good and funny to eat on a floating village. Please note that the trip took 11 hours (not 8 as stated on the website)

Absolutely amazing day! Loved every second. The scenery is just wow! We saw monkeys and heard gibbons, but the best part was seeing the wild elephants! The cave was also very good. Would 100% do this again.

The experience from start to finish was amazing. I’ve never done anything like it and would highly recommend it to everyone. However it is a really intense packed day. The details state that the tour lasts for 4-8 hours but that doesn’t include 3 hours travelling there and 3 hours travelling back. The description of timing could be made clearer.

The tour was a mixed German and English speaking tour however the guide was a native German speaker so it felt like it skewed really towards the German guests on the whole. The lunch was disappointing and again the spice was tones down to appeal to the German guests. The activities offered were very good and the area was beautiful. The drop off and pick up process was very long winded and because we were first we had an alextra hour to our travel time each way.

The boat trip across the lake was great, the scenery is incredible. The floating lunch and free time afterwards where we could swim was good. I felt the jungle trail was ok, it was nice to get out the sun for 30 minites but we didn't really see much in the way of wildlife. The cave was good, however tour guide cut this part short as there was believed to be a dangerous snake in the cave - safety first I guess.

A fantastic day out. Our guide was amazing. Knowledge and funny. She gave us a really well informed take on the country and the environment. The journey on the longboat was incredible as was the hike in the jungle. If you do one thing on your trip, choose this.

Great trip and fantastic guide, Oil. Oil was very knowledgeable and cheerful, she gave us a great insight into Thailand and the National Park and its wildlife, flora and fauna. It was a long day, 12 hours from pick-up in Khao Lak and not for anyone with mobility issues. Boat was wobbly getting in and out and jungle walk and caves difficult in places. Lunch was delicious and we got to swim twice in the lake for a cool down. Saw monkeys and elephants en route, but not in the jungle. Well worth it.

An extremely well organised trip and fantastic guide (Anne). It’s a long day (7am to 6pm), but rest stops are built into the itinerary. Being offered a free light breakfast at the Rock and Treehouse, our morning rest stop, was a real bonus but I’m not sure everyone is offered this. The lake is absolutely stunning and not to be missed. It would have been good to know in advance that it is a 2.5 hour drive from Khao Lak, however it was still worth the drive.

This is a long day, with long bus trips but worth it. The lake is stunning and really enjoyed the boat ride, cave and floating restaurant. You can only swim with a life jacket which is a new experience! Fried fish was delicious. The hike is more a short, gentle stroll and I would’ve liked more from this. The whole day was doable in sturdy sandals. The guide was great and took us for an ice cream stop on the way home.

Overall it was a really good experience. The views were brilliant. The cave was very dark and slippery though. We were handed torches but that meant we weren’t able to use both hands to steady ourselves. The lunch was really good. We would have appreciated more time at the swimming and kayaking experience. A very long and tiring day but worth it ??

Lake spectacular, not enough information supplied by the guide,boat too big too dock at the steps for the cave,so you had to wade waist deep if you wanted to go in cave. Poor lunch if you don't eat fish or eggs.

More details about what's involved prior to booking are needed. Having issues with balance and not being very fit, I would have booked a less strenuous trip as there was a lot of up hill walking and narrow pathways. The guide however was absolutely fabulous and helped me every step of the way. The scenery was amazing.

The views from the long tail boat were amazing and so beautiful. I felt safe and secure - everyone on the boat had lifejackets on. The caves were really stunning . Unfortunately we didn't spot any animals on the nature trail, but the experience was still wonderful. Our guide - Gift - was absolutely great and really enthusiastic throughout the day. A great day overall.
