Schönes Erlebnis für die ganze Familie - An unforgettable experience! The bamboo rafting was absolutely beautiful – a peaceful ride through stunning nature. We were lucky enough to spot a baby anaconda and passed by many mango trees along the way. The guides were very friendly and made the trip even more special. As a perfect ending, we visited the Sea Turtle Conservation Center – such a touching experience to see these amazing animals up close. Highly recommended!

Excellent half day excursion - We had an amazing day. Tammy was a great guide. The rafting was such an incredible experience. So serene. The sea turtle Conversation center was very educational. The waterfall was lovely but the water was cold. The pace was great. It was the perfect half day excursion if you are in Khao Lak. Highly recommend.

Bamboo, turtles and waterfall. Best in rainy season but when it's sunny! - Here after 1 month of rain in the rainy season and river full of clear water so could see the bottom of the river, prob 4-5ft at deepest point. Bamboo trip about 40 mins long and we saw about 3 snakes. One huge one swimming at bank and two hanging above our heads. It was really relaxing. As others say take a small hand towel from hotel to sit on for comfort. Everyone was super friendly and tour guide was super informative. She gave us a full tour of the turtle santuary and one of the workers there gave my daughter a baby turtle to hold they were putting back in a tank. Shes training to be a vet so was really interesting. They explained how they recover them as they hatch on Similar Island to increase their chance of survival to 80% Turtle sanctuary is on an army base with a handy cafe. Waterfall was really good also. Quite tricky for all re boulders to get in and out though but a good photo opportunity. We loved the half day trip and took hundreds of photos and videos. Thank you ❤️

Beautiful half-day excursion - Very nice excursion, were 4 hours on the way, visit the turtle reserve, then visit the waterfall and then river rafting, which was about 4 km long, unfortunately we had little water but the guys did a good mood and work. We definitely had a lot of fun.

Great trip - Really good experience. I expected the waterfall to be a bit bigger but overall the trip was great. The bamboo rafting was good and we even got to see some snakes in the trees

Rafting yes, turtles no. - The bamboo rafting was excellent but the sea turtle experience didn’t look so ethical. Turtles kept in paddling pools with dirty water didn’t seem like much of a sanctuary.

Great morning trip. - We took this trip early November 2025 and it's a great little morning trip, half hour away from khaolak. You can leave your bags on your bus, they are safe. Make sure you wear your swimmers on the way because your bum will get wet on the bamboo rafting. Turtles are lovely whatever their size and there are big and small there. Also on the same site is a tsunami memorial which is worth a look. Lastly was the waterfall stop, refreshing for a cool swim in the pools but might get busy in the high season. Nowhere really to get changed but dry yourself off best you can and sit on your towel for the 10 minute drive back to khaolak.
