If you have booked the Tiger Cave Temple option, we will show you the secrets of Wat Tham Sua, which is one of the most famous monasteries in Southern Thailand. You can meet the monks and see how they live in the beautiful surroundings and natural serenity of the caves. If you’re feeling up to the task you are welcome to try out the 1260 steps to the top of the temple mountain and experience one of the most breathtaking views in Thailand – looking in all directions over the lush forest, limestone karsts and magnificent ocean. For the less energetic just enjoy watching the itinerant families of monkeys, who also share this temple home.
If you have booked the kayaking lovers option, there is a great opportunity to paddle on a sit-on-top kayak across the small lake of Klong Root, bypassing the many tree stumps along the way. At the end of the lake there is a small shady area in the jungle where you can have a refreshing swim in the fresh water.

Traveler reviews
Did not blow me away just average....
Paid for the full day with 30min ATV at the end. I felt the activitity to be very unorganised and the guides being unable to speak english fully strange. Oddly not far from the activity we had to stop and wait for Van 2 to show up then some passengers was swopped from the vans. The Emerald spring was nothing special, the Blue Pool I found to be so much better with the trek through the forest to get to it amazing. The hot springs again nothing amazing here too the hot springs are natural but they are housed in a man-made structure around them which i felt spoilt them.The best part for me was the ATV ride at the end which I choose,the course we took was really good and testing...but you could also choose Kayaking or the Tiger Temple. Overall 4/5 slightly pricey and the food was basic.
Excellent!
Fantastic! The tour guide was such a kind young lady, sweet person and a very consistent worker! Tour was just great
Emerald pools and Tiger Temple venture
Emerald pools was busy . Hot springs was nice but their gardener started chopping the trees and bushes with a gasoline trimmer that emitted a lot of smoke and pollution that ruined the ambiance of relaxation there & I had to put on a mask to not inhale the toxic carbon dioxide & smoke. Trip to the Tiger temple was ok. The steps were very steep and not worth it unless you like the challenge of the hike & sweat in the hot weather. Tour guide was funny and pick up Van arrived on time.
Very good half day trip
This was a good half day trip. The pools were stunning to see and the hotspring at the end was very refreshing.
They call it a half day trip but in reality we wasted an entire day on an hour of activity.
Could have been a lovely trip but turned into a V mark on the sites. Lots of delays. The pick up from the hotel was on time at 8am, but for some reason we had to wait for another group before entering the Emerald Pool. The walk towards the Emerald Pool is exactly 1 kilometer. In the program it should be a slow walk of about half an hour. In practice, to make up for the delay, there was a quick fifteen-minute walk, with no explanations along the way. And instead of spending an hour in the pool, allocate only 45 minutes. The hot springs were also only about half an hour instead of an hour. In the end we returned to the hotel at 4 pm. They call it a half-day trip, but in reality we wasted a whole day on an hour and a half of experiences and everything else was waiting and driving. disappointed.
