Guide was doing his best but felt the day really gets dragged out longer then needed. If you've been to Halong Bay in Vietnam there would be no need to do this trip at all. Rock formations but not single island structures like Halong. (this is more like coastline), caves, kayaking, swimming etc. Jungle and cage was ordinary, lunch was nice, kayaking and swimming was what you would expect. Would not want to do this in peak season as would be very busy at lunch, swimming area. Overall I feel if your time or activity schedule was full you could easily leave this one off and have a chilled day by the pool where you're staying.

Although I loved the hike and the cave, the hiking guide took a liking to me. He continued to separate me from the group, insinuating that we could go and get intimate in the huts along the hike and then telling me to meet him in the bathroom at the end of the hike. He made several remarks that made me uncomfortable and like I said, continued to separate me from the rest of the group. I was a solo traveler and felt uncomfortable to say the least

Quite a long day, but a well organised tour. The minibus was clean and comfortable. Naturally the tour was quite quick, and only really included two main activities (a photograph stop at the classic viewpoint and a short hike and bamboo raft to an amazing and unique cave), as well as being on the lake itself. Bear in mind that it is an artificial reservoir and not a natural lake. It is a shame we didn't really see much wildlife on the walk, but it was still enjoyable to be in the rainforest. The included lunch was very good - quite a few dishes and plenty of food. The tour guide expressed that he didn't feel the group were interested enough, which was a bit strange and unfair as we did not get this impression. Overall, though, we found him informative and friendly.

We did this tour on 25-02-2023. The trip was well organized and there were beautiful sights on the lake. However, it was not as active as we had hoped. A lot of time was reserved for lunch, for chilling by ourselves at the restaurant, and waiting around. The actual hike to the Coral cave was maybe 20 minutes one way and this was the only active thing we did.

Our guide, Rudy, was knowledgeable and very funny. Very much enjoyed this tour; highly recommend. Do recommend comfortable shoes for the hike, not sandals even when it’s summer.

This trip was one of the highlights of our holiday. Pick up was on time and we had a pleasant drive to the National park with a short comfort break included. On arrival we were met by our informative and entertaining guide “two” who look us to our longboat. We were 9 people in total so had plenty of room to move about the boat for photo opportunities. Lunch was tasty and there was time for swimming or kayaking after. We had a walk through the rainforest and then transferred to a bamboo raft for our visit to the caves before making our way by longboat back to the bus pick up point.

Had a great time on this tour - pick up was on time (even when we had to change hotels last minute!), tour guides were lovely and food was very tasty - would definitely recommend if you want to experience the National Park without staying overnight!

While the tour is truly a full day, 12 hours from pick-up to drop-off for us, it is truly worth taking the time to do. The park and the lake are stunning with rock formations unlike you will see anywhere else. We could barely stop taking pictures of the scenery. Lunch at the raft house was large and delicious. We had chicken green curry, deep fried fish, and veggies. They offer a vegan or vegetarian option if requested. The second part of the tour with the bamboo raft ride, jungle hike, and cave walk also provide a truly unique experience. Rudy, our guide, was very knowledgeable providing information on the history of the lake, aspects of the cave, and pointing out signs of wildlife. We saw monkeys, various lizards, as well as elephant and tapir trails. Rudy was able to get us to the popular spots while avoiding the crowds of other tour groups. Plenty of cold water and tea was provided.

Our trip began with on time hotel pick up by mini van. On the way to Khao Sok National park we had a quick stop for toilet in street market. After coming to the park our quide Rudy bought us tickets and we boarded our long tail boat. After one hour ride we went for easy but interesting jungle trekking, we saw tarantulas, monkeys, elephant tracks and so on... than the Bamboo lady took us to the coral cave on her bamboo boat. After coming back from hike we had great lunch at the raft house and than we had time for kayaking or swiming while watching monkeys in the jungle. For the end of our trip we went to iconic Khao Sam Kloe and had time to take some pictures and enjoy the view. Than sunset ride back to the village and hotel drop off around 7PM. We really enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to everyone who likes adventure. We were only 4 people and our amazing guide Rudy who knows the area very well, THANK YOU :)
