What To Expect

Awaken to the promise of adventure as you leave the bustle of Khao Lak behind, journeying deep into the wild heart of Khao Sok National Park. The morning drive winds past quiet villages and emerald hills until towering limestone cliffs rise from the mist, their ancient faces watching over the rainforest below. At the Sok River, you step onto a hand-crafted bamboo raft, its smooth glide guided by skilled local paddlers. The river carries you through a lush corridor of jungle, where bird calls echo and the rustle of unseen wildlife stirs the air.  

Along the way, you pause at the riverbank, where a small fire crackles and jungle coffee is brewed in bamboo cups—a warm, earthy taste of the forest itself. Back on the water, you drift beneath the soaring karst peaks, spotting bright flashes of birdlife and perhaps a sunbathing reptile.  

Your journey concludes at the Khao Sok Scenic Viewpoint, where mountains and rainforest unfold in a sweeping panorama view of Thailand’s raw beauty. After soaking in the view, relax on the comfortable hotel transfer, ensuring your trip remains hassle-free all the way back to your accommodation.

Great experience - highly recommend. We helt ‘on our own’ in the jungle.

Great experience - better than we expected. Very calm trip. We felt ‘on our own’ in the jungle. Spotted many animals along the way - several monkeys and snakes included.

Bamboo rafting with breathtaking scenery and memories to keep for a lifetime.

This has been a really memorable day. With an hour on the bamboo raft and jungle coffee made in our own keepsake bamboo cup. We were looked after by a fantastic guide and 2 delightful older oars-people who made the job of steering the bamboo raft look so easy. We were given soft drinks, fruit and a delicious cake to have with our coffee (which were all included). The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Memories to keep for a lifetime. The trip to see the monkeys and Thai Temple was lovely too. A trip well worth making. I would definitely recommend.

Nice trip but - the scenery apart - nothing much to see!!

My wife and myself are currently holidaying in Kaolack (staying at the Kantary Beach Resort - Review to follow) and yesterday we went on a short (45 mins) Bamboo Rafting trip in Khao Sak. It was well organised and the staff were both pleasant and informative. The river water levels were also low so it was a comfortable and slow ride but, unfortunately, we didn’t see any bird or wildlife at all!! No matter, it was an enjoyable trip followed by a nice local lunch but I wouldn’t rush back!!

Lovely tour!

We had an amazing day with the rafting in the beautiful jungle! The guides made us bambu coffee and we got to keep the bambu cups as souvenirs. After the rafting we visited the monkey temple which was lovely and got to go inside this beautiful colourful temple. The last stop was a beautiful view of the Khao Sok view point where we took pictures. Our guide and driver that picked us up from our hotel was the best! They were so friendly and shared good information and on our way back to the hotel they even stopped on some spots to show us the beautiful small temples around in Khao Lak.

Anette and Peter.

Me and my husband did a half day bamboo raft tour on Khao sok river from Khao Lak. We made a stop in the jungle to drink good coffee from bamboo pipes. (Coffee mugs) It was a nice day and the taxi driver was so polite and nice and even made a stop to a fabric store on the way home because I was looking for just that. We should never have found the fabric store ourselves. 😊We are very happy with the day. And can warmly recommend such a trip.

Very nice tour with mother-in-law 🙏🏻

Very nice excursion. Travelling on a bamboo raft where they added chairs was amazing. You didn't get wet, you sat well and the whole ride was super pleasing. Beautiful views and the trip took a total of about 50 minutes. A small coffee stop was also where you got to keep your bamboo mug as a souvenir :)
