Full-Day Tour to Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park from Krabi

Our tour guide was incredible, and the trip said "no more than 12 people," which there was more than 12 on our boat... but overall it was a good tour. That said, we spent a LOT of time in one place, when I think that a couple of hours would have been fine. Also, I would have liked to skip the cave at the end to save a little time. I'd say you get a lot for the money, but be prepared to spend hours in one place and if coming from Krabi, two hours in the car each way.

The tour is very well organized and Cheow Lan Lake offers awesome views... transfer was very good it was just the two of us because only we were in Krabi, the food was tasty and the camping offered fun activities.

I recently took this tour from Krabi Town and despite some awful weather, still found it a really good tour. We started the day with an early pick up and our driver Rudy drove us to Khao Sok National Park, stopping once along the way for a snack/toilet break. Once we arrived at Cheow Lan Lake we boarded a longtail boat with 9 other people, who were staying closer to the park, making 11 of us in total. The boat trip took us for about 45mins along the lake, through some stunning scenery. Sadly we had some of the heaviest rain Ive ever seen, but for us this made it all a little bit more fun! After viewing some interesting rock formations we were taken to a nearby floating restaurant/activity centre, where you could choose to Kayak just pay a deposit, swim in the lake or just relax. As the rain was still terrible, most of us opted to relax until our lunch was served. The lunch was very good and they catered for the four vegetarians in our group. The meal was green curry, rice, vegetables, omelette and Fish for the meat eaters After lunch those of us who had paid for the jungle hike included in the price of this tour were taken back out on the boat to a different part of the lake. From there our guide took us on a hike through the jungle. At this point the rain was horrendous, the tracks were more like small streams and very muddy. That being said, we spotted a tarantula and some Horned lizards Along the way. After about 45mins of hiking we arrived at another lake. Here we took a motorised bamboo raft out to a cave. Here we left the raft and were tuided through a cave with headlamps. Our guide was very good at showing us stalactites and stalagmites, as well as some large huntsmen spiders, bats and cave crickets. There was also a small monkey hanging around near the entrance to the cave. The route back was even wetter we didnt realise this was possible. Despite spending hours in incredibly heavy rainfall, the trip was very good and the guides/drivers excellent too. I would definitely recommend this trip, as the park and lakes are stunning

Our driver was Rudy, and he was very nice and hospitable! He stopped by a 7-11 on the way for us to grab a quick bite to eat and offered us bananas. Furek was our guide and he was also very hospitable and knowledgeable about the park. This was one of my favorite tours in Thailand. Highly recommend!
