Our suggested itinerary is a starting point
We're specialists in tailor-made holidays, where we can adapt each itinerary to suit your requirements
Day 1 Phuket
Early morning transfer from your hotel or Phuket airport (a supplement applies for later flights/transfers). On arrival, enjoy the chance to see magnificent Asian Elephants. After lunch take a jungle river canoe trip down the Sok River and as you drift along watch for colourful birds flying high above or basking reptiles on the riverbanks. From the canoe you can experience a world that has changed little in thousands of years, seeing some of the last areas of primary rainforest.
Return to the camp to relax and absorb the panoramic views of the surrounding jungle covered mountains before dinner in this unique location.
Day 2 Khao Sok
This morning explore a remote jungle lake by long tail boat. The little-known Cheow Larn Lake is a wonder of Thailand's southern rainforest and holds prime habitat for wild elephant, the rare Asian ox, hornbill, various monkey species, birds, amphibians and reptiles. Continue to Lake Camp and admire the views before a tasty lunch. Swim in the lake's emerald waters or head out and explore by canoe. Sometimes gibbon can be heard calling or langurs and macaque monkeys spotted in the trees; this truly is nature at its best.
Return to the Lake Camp in time to experience the sun setting over the jungle before dinner.
Day 3 Khao Sok
Begin with a guided jungle trek. See a great variety of exotic plants, tropical hardwood trees, orchids, palms and ferns. After lunch back at the camp and one final swim, it's time for the return transfer to your hotel or Phuket airport.
