“It was good fun! Unfortunately a bit misty so didn’t get a view from the pavilions, but the national park and hike were very beautiful with scenic waterfalls. Very muddy and downhill, so make sure your shoes are sturdy and because of leeches it is a good idea to wear long trousers. Our guide did very well speaking in both English and Chinese, but was very hard to understand at times (I just about managed but some people’s first language wasn’t English).”

“This trip makes for a great day out at the national park. We got a good hike round Kew Mae Pai (you don't need to be super athletic, but the first hour or so is uphill and will get your heart going). Some wonderful photo opportunities up there if the weather is good! Then on to the royal pagodas, which I appreciated more than I thought I would, a quick market visit, a really nice lunch, and then a visit to a Karon village for coffee. Our guide Chin made the day run really smoothly, adjusting to the weather and other situations as we went along. Recommended.”

It’s heartwarming to interact with these gorgeous animals up close, feeding them and learning about their habits. They truly are majestic creatures. The rafting portion was also perfect! It was…”
