Morning
Discovery by long-tail boat
Departure from your hotel, bound for the port of Lake Cheow Lan in the Surat Thani region. Start your day with a scenic long-tail boat ride on the lake, lasting around an hour, to explore the rock formations emerging from the water, peaking at over 200 meters above sea level.
Hiking and exploring the jungle
Continue your adventure with a jungle hike through one of the world’s oldest rainforests, a 40-minute walk leading to a floating village inhabited by national park rangers. This is the starting point for a bamboo raft ride to the Coral Cave, a natural treasure dating back over 220 million years. During this trek, discover the rich flora and fauna of Khao Sok, an idyllic experience for nature lovers.
Afternoon
Relaxation and sailing
Continue your exploration of the lake by joining a floating hotel for lunch. Enjoy some free time to relax and swim in a sublime, soothing setting. You’ll have the opportunity to venture out onto the lake by canoe, directly from the restaurant on the water. After this well-deserved break, cruise the peaceful waters of the lake up close to the limestone formations and contemplate the emblematic “Three Avatar Rocks”. Plan to return to the pier between 4 and 5 pm.
