Bamboo, turtles and waterfall. Best in rainy season but when it's sunny! - Here after 1 month of rain in the rainy season and river full of clear water so could see the bottom of the river, prob 4-5ft at deepest point. Bamboo trip about 40 mins long and we saw about 3 snakes. One huge one swimming at bank and two hanging above our heads. It was really relaxing. As others say take a small hand towel from hotel to sit on for comfort. Everyone was super friendly and tour guide was super informative. She gave us a full tour of the turtle santuary and one of the workers there gave my daughter a baby turtle to hold they were putting back in a tank. Shes training to be a vet so was really interesting. They explained how they recover them as they hatch on Similar Island to increase their chance of survival to 80% Turtle sanctuary is on an army base with a handy cafe. Waterfall was really good also. Quite tricky for all re boulders to get in and out though but a good photo opportunity. We loved the half day trip and took hundreds of photos and videos. Thank you ❤️

Beautiful half-day excursion - Very nice excursion, were 4 hours on the way, visit the turtle reserve, then visit the waterfall and then river rafting, which was about 4 km long, unfortunately we had little water but the guys did a good mood and work. We definitely had a lot of fun.

Like the adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but on a smaller scale. The river is a stream. - The rafting was fabulous, but borrow a towel from your resort to roll up and sit on. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. The turtles are lovely. The waterfall is very picturesque but not much water, so pretty rather than spectacular.

Great value half day - Really enjoyed the sea turtle Center and the bamboo rafting, the waterfall was disappointing but it’s probably because it wasn’t in full flow. Our tour guide was fun.

A relaxing experience - The bamboo raft and turtle experience was good value for money. We were collected on time and although had to make quite a few other hotel stops to collect passengers of various nationalities we were on our way an hour later. First stop was the turtle conservation centre at the naval base. I would have liked to spend more time here and had an expert take us around. As it was, our driver did his best to answer questions. Second was the bamboo rafting. I was apprehensive as the raft seemed unsteady. But once we were on board our puntsman took over steering us through the tranquil forest pointing out the snakes in the trees above our heads. The puntsman was a super fit young lad with just a smattering of English. He kept rowing for 45 minutes! A bottle of water and melon slices were waiting for us in the cafe along with the chance to buy a photograph. Next a visit to Ton Phang waterfall. Underwhelming at this time of year and not worth the visit. I recommend the bamboo rafting as it’s so relaxing and peaceful. Maybe visit the turtles separately on your own if you want more time there.

Good, but waterfall not worth it - Nice staff and good organization. On time hotel pickup! Water was brought and raft ride was very nice.

Rafting - Unfortunately, far too little water, which made the tour very exhausting for our very young helmsman. You're more likely to feel guilty about it. It is also a pity that there is so much garbage (old car tires, cans, plastic bottles) on the track. All Guids were super nice and very helpful.

Loss of future bookings! - Told our hotel was not on pickup area, paid for a taxi to a hotel on their list, only to then pass our hotel twice during other pick ups? Now they are refusing a refund for our taxi - poor customer service and loss of future bookings !
