Trip package was expensive but once you reached the lake the view totally worth it. Tour guide was funny and great. Food was good but quantity wasn’t enough, food could had been better.

A beautiful day spent in the water. Our guide was lovely and showed us some of the amazing scenery Thailand has to offer. It was like looking at a magazine. We visited four islands. The first, Hong Island gave us the opportunity to snorkel and see some pretty fish. We the. Visited 3 more islands and swam in the sea. From the picture perfect bays. All islands were close together but felt completely different.
Great photo opportunities.
The tour operator was booked from the high street in Krabi and the boat was pretty with a very pleasant sailor.
Would recommend this trip.

The lake is nice, but in the trip you spend 4h in the van and another 3-4 on the boat.
At the lake, you visit a cave for 15 minutes, go for a hike in the nature for 30 minutes and spend 2.5h at the restaurant. You can swim or take a canoe, but you won’t have a guide with you and the close proximity does not look so good.
The park looks like it would have nicer places to see but you do not go there.
While they say that they give water and refreshments, you do not receive anything in the first 2h bus drive or in the first part of the boat. You only get one water and one juice (except for the water at the restaurant). The food at the restaurant was enough, but kind of tasteless except for the very fried/oily taste.
The guide and the crew were not very professional and looked extremely tired and not in the mood to do the tour. Also they were very young and I would bot be surprised if most of them were under 18.
You get very few explanations and only in the cave and the jungle. No information about the park was received.
I would recommend to go independently instead of taking the tour as we feel it did not worth the money.

Incredible experience, amazing natural beauty. Lucky enough to see elephants and other animals. Our tour guide, Audi was a legend!
AnnaLisa_G, Apr 2024
The lake is so beautiful… reminded me of the Canadian Rockies. Did not give a 5 star because I think that safety standards are a bit too low. At times we had to jump on and off the boat. Also the trek in the jungle, although quite short, was very fast paced. We did not have time to take in the peaceful atmosphere or take some photos. The guide did not care that we were an older couple in our fifties and just kept going even in steep places. Otherwise the views are fabulous.

This was our favourite tour we did in Thailand. Khao Sok is breathtaking. Pictures just can't do it justice. Our guide, Audi was funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about teaching us about his culture and ancestors. We were well fed and didn't find any parts of the day too crowded or rushed. Our only complaint was the length of time spent at the lunch/swimming spot was a bit too long and there were limited seating options in the shade.

I booked onto the 1 day tour as the 2 day overnight stays were all sold out and to be honest I was disappointed.
While Khao Sok is undeniably beautiful, the parts you visit are hugely overcrowded and the stops are very short. We stopped in a cave for only a few moments and couldn’t really hear the information from the guide due to it being so busy. The jungle stop was interesting but again there were a lot of other tour groups around us and there was absolutely not a ‘hike’ of any sort as we barely walked anywhere but just stood and listened to the guide’s information on about the jungle.
The lunch stop was poorly organised, with not enough food provided. We were told the food would be replenished but the staff were inattentive and unavailable and our guide also disappeared at this point. You are also very limited on time at this stop and have to eat, swim and kayak in only 1.5 hours.
You are only allowed to swim in one tiny section of the lake where all the other tour groups are and you have to wear a life jacket which is a park rule but seems pretty unreasonable! I would’ve liked to have kayaked on the lake but there were only a handful of these available and they were all being used so it wasn’t really an option as we ran out of time.
Our group was also mostly couples and families so wasn’t ideal for me as a solo traveller.
Bottom line for me is that the whole trip felt pretty rushed, overcrowded and I would say it is way overpriced and not worth the money.

Stunning scenery surrounding the lake and an interesting, informative nature walk with a great guide.

This tour & Viators help afterwards has been very disappointing.we where a family of 5 travelling on this tour.
You are not picked up by guide ,you are flying on water with speed unable to take pictures,the cave we visited (not the one advertised)is very overcrowded & brief ,the jungle HIKE was .35km
All locations advertised ,we where not carried to (pictures) & left in a floating restaurant different to what’s advertised for 3 hrs (1.5 on itinerary)with nothing to do as kayaks where all in use & swimming with large fish not an option
Return journey home was without any toilet stop/ break .
Contacted Viator for help & totally non supportive,over all save your €€ & stay on your sun lounger as we sat for most of the day.
I had full timeline with pictures taken & neither tour guide/Viator will help
As a Viator customer for yrs my decision in booking with them again is very questionable.

An ok experience didn’t blow me away, but wasn’t bad either. Don’t think it was worth the amount paid.
Melissa_N, Dec 2023
Our tour guide was wonderful but the driver who picked us up drove way too fast and it concerned a lot of us in the van.
