About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- rjo0130 contributionsBeautiful island, terrible driver of minivanWe had to meet at hua hin clock tower 0645, despite it said 0700 in the tour guide. The minivan( not bus) was not marked with “koh talu tour” as promised. So we had to ask around. The minivan van was worn and dirty, and the shock absorbers were absent. Then the driver used least 40 min back and forth, stopes and talk to people to find the last to persons. He had no clue were to go. Then the driver began his madman's drive towards the boat. While he was talking in his phone. All the time. I know the driving culture is different here vs Europe but still. He also had to stop and refuel. I have experienced a lot of driving in Thailand. This was by far the worst. Actually we dreaded the return as we thought it was the same driver and car. When we arrived at the boat pier the arrangement was wery good. Also the boat experience and the Island of course. The guide could have done a little more, but he’s english was quite good actually. And the island itself is absolutely worth a visit. We were wery happy when we came back from the island, and there was a new car and driver back to Hua Hin I will recommend the island, not the first tour with minivan. The tour is quite expensive so I think the minivan should be better for a 3 hours tour.Written 6 February 2025
- mariee530 contributionsNice day without elephantsSaw one elephant in the distance. Our guide was wonderful as was our driver. It was nice to get out of Hua Hin and see the countryside. Dinner at a roadside restaurant was efficient and tasty. If you expect to see a lot elephants on this tour, you may be disappointed, as they were not roaming about on the day we were there.Written 30 January 2025
- Roam610156037440 contributions2 crepe places in Hua Hin market!This was a good trip, until the last portion The tour guide was knowledgeable, willing to change the order of the sites, etc. I would not recommend taking this, if you are staying further away from the Hua Hun center( I stayed north of the airport), because the tuk tuk isn't very comfortable for longer distances. But the problem I had was the dinner portion. They pay for your meal, but after you get your food, they leave you to eat and tell you to meet them at "the crepe place", which we had visited earlier. Kind of strange but I went to the meeting point and waited 40 minutes only to find out there was ANOTHER crepe place in the next block. So this put a bad taste in my mouth, as I was ready to leave after 4+ hours! The guide never contacted me to see where I was, but I contacted the tour agency and told them I needed to leave now!Written 30 January 2025

Estate Yes but dont do the TourWritten 21 January 2025
- donnew20230 contributionsBreathtaking views and caves, excellent tourWow is all I can say....we did a private tour and Joe, our tour guide for the day, was on time for collection and super friendly and knowledgeable. He even hiked with us to the beautiful cave. The cave itself is breathtaking. I would highly recommend this tour.Written 19 January 2025
- Tourist372001466980 contributionsAmazing guides, Amazing placeI went on this trip knowing I may not see elephants as I wanted to see them in their natural habitat and that's the risk you take. Both the driver and guide were amazing, my husband was ill and couldn't go but they looked after me so well. Making stops to show me pineapple plantations along the way. Once there, we swapped to an open truck. The guides at the elephant sanctuary accompanied you but dont speak English, so having a guide who interpreted and was quick to show me other wild life was amazing. The area is beautiful and worth the trip it's self, but both guides worked together to get you quickly to where elephants have been seen, I was lucky enough to see twenty in total. This was an amazing trip made better by the care provided by my guide and driver. I would recommend and will return hopefully with husband this timeWritten 14 January 2025
- petejjj0 contributionsFantastic way of spending 8hrs of your holidayWhat a fantastic way of spending 8hrs of your holiday. The whole experience was very enjoyable. We were picked on time from our hotel and reached the train market about 1.75hrs later. We had time to buy stuff we did I know we needed before the train came through at about 14.30. We were then taken to a long boat where had a relaxing time cruising the Mekong river and the back rivers where the market was. Following this we had time, about an hour to buy yet more goodies from the floating market, before we were taken for dinner which was included in the price. We returned to our hotel at about 20.00, with fond, happy memories of the day!Written 12 January 2025

- Discover145829730540 contributionsMisleading description of a wine tourThe description of the visit was misleading. It was essentially a taxi ride to the Vineyards via a temple, where we were given 15 minutes to look round unescorted. On arrival at the vineyard we were offered a speedy tasting so that we could take part in a pre-scheduled tour of the vineyards. Please note that no wine is made onsite so it was just a quick 10 minute drive around various vineyards accompanied by one of the employees. Aside from the tasting (where we were given 3 small glasses of wine each and a description read from the card) and the 10 minute vineyard tour, everything else cost extra. It was promoted as a 4-5 hour trip, but if we hadn't decided to stay for a small lunch and spread the visit out a bit, we would have been back within 2.5 hours. It was an enjoyable visit, but not what had been described and consequently well over-priced.Written 7 January 2025
- Lotte S0 contributionsDisappointingThe tour was a bit disappointing. The guide walked very quickly through the walkway, so you didn't really get to see much of anything. He told something about something, but only to the 2 people walking right behind him, so the rest of us didn't really get to hear anything about what he had to say about the wildlife, fauna, etc. (If that was what he was talking about). The boat trip on the river was beautiful, and there was an opportunity to take some beautiful pictures. The trip up to Khao Daeng View Point was a bit tough, but you can take it at a pace that suits you. Wear good shoes. The view was beautiful. We waited a long time for the food at the restaurant, and when we got it the meat was not cooked through, neither chicken nor pork, it was all half raw!!! Afterwards we made a stop to the side of the road where we looked at a pineapple field, not really anything exciting about it. The tour is not worth the money.Written 6 January 2025

- K6229IEdavids0 contributionsPleasant Day Trip to the Thai Countryside and MountainsThe tour takes you to a temple (Wat Huay Mongkol) which has a giant monk rather than a buddha with lots of Thai pilgrims and then on west to the waterfall in the Kraeng Kachan National Park in the mountains on the Myanmar border, which is a beautiful location. The hike up to the 4th level of the falls is supposed to be 1.5km. Parts are quite steep requiring clambering over rocks where there are ropes to help you maintain balance. People with normal fitness should have no problem. But it's not suitable for very small children, elderly etc. Our 6 year old managed OK. You can get into the water at the pools at the 4th level. The pools at the 3rd and 4th level are full of carp and the soldiers/rangers sell food to tourists to feed the fish. This turns them effectively into fish farms. Am surprised this is allowed in a national park (suspect it is a scam that is not allowed in theory). The swarms of fish, which can only be so numerous due to continuous feeding, detract from the experience of nature. After returning from the falls we were taken to a nearby outdoor restaurant (under shade) for lunch in a rural area near the national park. The food is OK. The tour was well organized and the guide, Pom, was quite knowledgeable and very helpful and friendly. The day we went there were two minibuses and so we only had him on the bus from Hua Hin up to the temple on the way out. The only wildlife we saw were huge numbers of butterflies at the falls, I had thought we might see more than that.Written 2 January 2025
- elizabethcL5519KA0 contributionsWould do againBeautiful location and the restaurant at monsoon was absolutely delicious. Great tour, good wine and great location. I definitely recommend if you want a quiet meal out at a different location than the beach.Written 1 January 2025

Super trip with our guide called Arm. He was really into nature and spited do many creatures and things to show us. The waterfalls, while not completely full we're still great to see. The fish were hilarious and Arm showed how he could feed them from his hand. The hike was fine although you need a bit of stamina and sure footedness as you have to scramble over rocks. Great trip and very worthwhile.

Very nice experience with eventually a splash in the cool clear water. After a climb, largely doable, sometimes some scrambling we reached level 4 of the waterfall. Here we fed the fish with black grains of fish food that we bought at the entrance. We swam among the fish towards the waterfall. It is not deep, some pieces of stone are a bit sharp, the water shoes came in handy. On the way up, a huge number of colorful butterflies flew. In short, beautiful! Definitely recommended.

Trip was worthwhile. Guide was very informative. Took us to a number of cultural sites and then to the scenic hike. The waterfalls were picturesque, but challenging to get into the water with the fish and the slippery rocks. The lunch overlooking the hills was delicious. The drive was picturesque. We saw a whole group of macaque monkeys on the way.

I'm sorry that you didn't like the tour to the Pala U waterfall and the jungle hike into Thailand's largest national park, the Kaeng Krachan jungle, that there is a very interesting tour where you can also see many animals, especially the many butterflies, birds, but also snakes or Gibons. The waterfall is a good option for relaxing or swimming. Thousands of locals and tourists go to the waterfall every year to relax and enjoy the nature of the jungle and the rainforest.
As a result, the National Park was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021. There are with certainty larger waterfalls in Thailand but the species variety of animals in Kaeng Krachan is unique and not comparable to other national parks. When you make your booking, it is also seen in the pictures that the waterfall is not so big. Thank you for your review.
