Bamboo rafting snd turtles - Fantastic bamboo rafting saw 3 snakes pointed out by guy guiding the raft . Saw the turtles at Thai navy conservation centre and then swam in the waterfall I would say non slip water shoes a real must . Great morning out lasted about 3.5 hours.

Good value for money with a fantastic guide - Booked this trip last minute for the 28th December. The weather was raining but that didn’t spoil our trip. Our guide was fantastic - English not being his first language he did his best and we loved him. He made it fun and was keen to teach us things in the jungle before we went rafting. The turtle sanctuary was as you would expect. The sanctuary does fantastic to increase numbers and that was really the best part of going learning how positive it has been to the increasing numbers of turtles. It does look a little tired but I think the amazing work that’s being done is what comes out on top. Bamboo rafting was brilliant. We had a little wait for our rafts so coffee and biscuits were provided. Our guid also took us for a walk and showed us things in the jungle etc once on the rafts we were shown snakes in the trees / spiders / lizards it’s was fantastic. Lasted about 50-60 minutes which I felt was great value, after the rafting we had a curry - make sure to bring money as this was beautiful. Finally we went to the waterfall - the heavens opened at this point but that didn’t spoil it we got to see its beauty but never took a swim. Overall it was great value for money. Small group with hotel pick up included. I would recommend both due to cost and value for money.

Great experience - The sea turtle sanctuary and waterfall were a nice little add on but the main event for us was the bamboo rafting. The man who took us was very friendly and he showed us the lizard and snakes sleeping in the trees. We were lucky enough to see 5 but not everyone was shown them so remember to look up!

Relaxing, family, organised. - Rafting was quaint and relaxing. Suit young children and elderly best.Turtles nice to see up close, waterfall was busy with tourists ( which is everywhere in Thailand). Staff were friendly and organised on the trip. I would recommend but it is not an adventure day, more relaxed.

Tour didn’t meet expectations… - The Bamboo Rafting was nice and interesting… other two activities (Sea turtles and waterfall) were an absolute joke. During the visit of the sea turtles everyone was on their own, no group tour, guidance or explanation… and the “waterfall” (the last stop) was absolutely a joke. 2meter “waterfall” were announced as the greatest thing on earth… felt like they had to add something to the tour and this was free of charge for them (more tour profit).

Underwhelming - Inexpensive price and therefore you get what you pay for. We were picked up late from our hotel with no apology and there was not enough seats on the bus for our party to sit together, but we shouldn’t complain too much about this as we were the last pick up and some had been on this bus for 2 hours picking everyone up. It was really difficult to understand what our guide was saying and even when he was he was just shouting and screaming down the bus - it was overwhelming and someone had to ask him to stop. We first stopped at the turtle conservation centre - they are so cute! It was really nice to see all the different types and ages, however it would have been good to have a little more information of the work they do there. How do they reintroduce them to the wild (if they do?). The guide was aggressively shouting and pointing/hitting guests when we didn’t want to listen - but it was because no one could understand and he was too loud. There is a little Tsunami memorial here, but not much info. Next we went to bamboo rafting, it is peaceful and relaxing - but too long. We did this for 50 mins and it’s not the most comfortable (as you can imagine). We got a rubbish guide, he didn’t speak to us so we didn’t see any wildlife, whereas others got to see snakes etc. We were then taken to a waterfall. This is pointless. It is small and too crowded for any swimming - the guide looked embarrassed dropping us off. Best part of the trip was the minibus back to the hotel so I could get a beer

Not a fun or interesting experience - basically a waste of time - We don't recommend this tour. Our guide did not speak English well and the stops on the tour were boring and very touristy. The bamboo raft was the most interesting part. The sea turtle conservation center seems a bit sketchy and while we enjoyed seeing the baby turtles, it is not clear if they are well cared for as we didn't see any staff there watching out for the turtles. The last stop is absurd. A teeny waterfall that is crowded and not at all pretty. I felt badly about wasting my daughter's time on this trip and wasting our money.
