Good to know

  • The Blue Lagoon might be closed to visitors from May until October because of the breeding season of a rare bird species.
  • You need to climb 1260 stairs to the top of the Tiger Cave Temple, so a degree of physical fitness is required. Once you make it to the top, you are rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding countryside with all the limestone cliffs and beautiful lush rain forest. If you think the climb to the top might be too tough for you, you can also visit the temple on ground level.
  • There are wild monkeys at the Tiger Cave Temple. You must always remember that, no matter what, monkeys are wild animals, not pets. Even though they may look cute, we always recommend to keep your distance, not bring any food with you and keep all your belongings in your bag.
  • As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available day, though a rescheduling fee will apply.
  • Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund. For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.
  • Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
