Itinerary
The trip starts with an early pickup service from your hotel in Krabi, then you will be driven by car through Phang Nga province to the Ratchaprapha Dam. The drive is full of interesting sights such as rubber plantations, small villages and limestone hills.
After arrival at Cheow Lan Pier, the adventure starts with a longtail boat cruise on Cheow Lan Lake. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth, with over 100 islands with towering limestone cliffs that give the emerald lake its fairy-tale scenery. Gibbons and hornbills are commonly seen in the old-growth jungle trees at the water's edge.
Continue the trip with a hike through the lush green jungle of Khao Sok National Park and explore the Cave with impressing stalactites and stalagmites.
Continue to the floating bungalows, where a nutritious Thai lunch is served in the raft house restaurant on the lake. After the meal you will have time for swimming, kayaking or just relaxing.
Head back by boat to the pier from where the car driver will bring you on road to your hotel in Krabi.

Traveler reviews
Nice lake if you catch the right boaters.
Unfortunately, the boatman booked at pear was super unfriendly and took us on the stop for lunch only to a place where only groups came to eat something...he was not ready to drive us to the next restaurant..we have now undertaken the tour for the third time...but no one has been so unfriendly
Spectacular lake
The lake is stunning, beautiful, but the whole tour does not justify the total price. It is the most expensive excursion I have hired in Krabi, and it is only justified by the trip there (just over 2 hours). But gasoline is not a reason for price
Recommended 100%!!
The place is beautiful and we were taken to a lot of different places, highly recommended! The guide was very nice and entertaining, made the activity much more interesting
Good way to see the national park in one day
Very well organised trip. Our guide took time to explain us stuff about the jungle, the caves and the animals of the national park. He was also good in spotting them. The food was SUPERGOOD and enough for everybody. Loved it! But a little warning: Some people seemed surprised by how wet you get if driving in a longtail boat :) that's unfortunatly just the typical longtail-boat-experience and unavoidable. Also you dry up quickly. All in all: top tour! Happy we booked it.
A well worth trip
A brilliant day trip from Ao Nang/krabi. We wernt sure whether to stay in Kano soo but it was doable from ao nang just a long travel day. Our guide was brilliant, great English, knowledgeable and passionate. They gave us refreshments of water, bananas and ice tea as well as lunch that was lovely with Thai classics and fresh fruit. Also We saw elephants which was amazing!
