What to expect

The Khao Sok River really is a sight to behold. Watch it unravel between the rocks as you raft down the river and experience the surroundings from up close on this full day tour. We'll then cap it off with a visit to an elephant sanctuary and the Monkey Cave Temple. Anchali, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘With limestone rocks shrouded in forest and jungle vegetation tangled along the banks, Khao Sok River has to be seen to be believed. Silently drifting through this oasis, you'll hear the wildlife all around us - from a variety of birdlife to lizards, gibbons and even snakes.'

The extraordinary sensation of bamboo rafting through Khao Sok National Park is sure to be a holiday highlight. The rafts are made of natural bamboo, for that authentic touch. Float along the water, stopping to explore a cave. You'll be accompanied by professional paddlers for a true immersion in this unique ecosystem. Anchali says, ‘You are probably going to get wet during the trip due to the nature of the bamboo rafts, so dress comfortably and bring a waterproof bag for your tech.'

After your rafting adventure, we'll move on to the Elephant Care Project. This rewarding experience allows you to spend quality time with retired elephants - without riding or touching them - and participate in ethically sound activities like walking with them in the jungle. After a typical Thai lunch, we'll end the trip with a visit to the Monkey Cave Temple, from where you can enjoy panoramic views over Khao Sok National Park.

    The bamboo river rafting was wonderful and serene, we could have done that for hours. Added bonus of a cooking class which we didn't expect. Elephant sanctuary was a terrific experience, amazing to get in the river with them and help wash them off and of course feeding them.

    We really enjoyed the trip. We would like to give a special mention to Jana our guide who was amazing throughout and went above and beyond to retrieve our bag which was left at the restaurant. The staff at the restaurant were not helpful at all and concealed our bag unfortunately until we pushed for it back, however, Jana did everything she could to ensure it was returned to us, lovely and fab woman, she made the day
