Tour Overview

Three nights spent moving deeper into one of the oldest evergreen rainforests on earth. The first day settles you into a jungle lodge on the edge of Khao Sok National Park, ready for a morning of guided trekking beneath a canopy older than the Amazon's. From there, the trip's centerpiece: a longtail boat crossing of the emerald waters of Cheow Lan Lake to a floating raft-house moored among limestone karsts that rise straight out of the water, where nights are spent listening to the jungle rather than watching it.

Highlights include a guided rainforest trek to a jungle waterfall, an afternoon longtail cruise across Cheow Lan Lake past towering limestone cliffs, an overnight stay in a floating raft-house with kayaking at your own pace, and an early-morning wildlife spotting excursion for gibbons, hornbills and, if you're lucky, wild elephants along the shoreline.

Questions

Frequently Asked

The price covers both-way international flights, 2 nights at a jungle lodge and 1 night on a floating raft-house with daily breakfast, all park and lake entry fees, the guided rainforest trek, the longtail lake crossing and wildlife spotting cruise, and private transfers throughout — for the full group of 4 adults.

The guided trek is a moderate walk on established trails, roughly 2 to 3 hours at an easy pace with stops for wildlife spotting. Comfortable closed-toe shoes and insect repellent are recommended, and the guide sets the pace to the group.

Simple wooden bungalows built on floating platforms, with shared or en-suite bathrooms depending on availability, mosquito netting and no air-conditioning — the jungle setting is the main draw rather than five-star comfort.

Cancellations 60–30 days before departure incur 25% of the total cost, 30–15 days 50%, 15–7 days 75%, and less than 7 days or a no-show is charged at 100%. Bank transfers may carry additional charges.
