Thumb up - The tour provided a very clear explanation of what to expect, with helpful information available in both Thai and English. The mangrove trail was flat and easy, making it suitable for anyone to walk without difficulty. It was also very calming to walk through, with beautiful surroundings that made it a nice, chill experience. The boat ride was calm and relaxing as well. The mountain hike is around 700 meters from the parking area to the top. If you’re used to hiking or walking in the mountains, it’s an easy trip. If you’re not in the best shape, it may be a bit more demanding—but it’s definitely doable. Overall, this was a well-organized and enjoyable experience, and I would definitely recommend it.

A different side of Thailand - Our guide, Bob, was very informative for every part of our day. We had the most delicious lunch by the beach. The Mangrove forest was fascinating and we saw a snake amongst other things! River trip also very interesting passing a fishing village and saw large monitor lizards, mudskippers, monkeys and lovely rock formations. Would recommend.

A perfect day. - A lovely, well organised day out, we started at 8 in a car with our driver and Noi our guide. He was friendly, intelligent and intelligible ( we have had some guides on tours who’s accent completely obscured their words ) and was happy to chat about all sorts of topics inspired by the places we went to and even just drive by. The Mangrove swamps were so peaceful, and he never hurried us through allowing us time to watch the crabs and other wildlife. The boat ride tour was again peaceful and so beautiful and lunch on beach was superb. Overall a wonderful day out with the perfect guide, and dropped back at our hotel 8 hours later happily exhausted !

A great day out - We enjoyed this trip, it is a great day out and the tour guide is knowledgable and friendly, it may have been nice to spend time with the tour guide and then had some time to ourselves, particularly as this is a private tour, we enjoyed the views and wildlife, a nice spot to stop for lunch, the hike up the mountain was a bit difficult in the heat - maybe this could be done in the morning instead? One negative is that I do not recall visiting the location that is shown on the picture of this tour.

Overpriced, misleading, and disappointing communication - We paid around 7,000 THB for this tour, which is very high for what you actually get. One day before the tour, I specifically asked the operator whether the weather could cause any problems. I was told everything would be fine. Despite this reassurance, Khao Daeng was cancelled on the day of the tour due to the weather. I understand that safety comes first, but being told in advance there would be no issues and then having a main part of the tour cancelled feels poorly communicated and managed. The operator was willing to offer a refund, but the amount was very low, only 1,200 THB and I had to unnecessarily argue/contact them to get even that. Given the price and what we missed, this felt inadequate. A fair refund should have been at least one third of the total price. The very first photo on the tour listing showed a beautiful lotus pond, which was a big reason I booked. However, this location is not mentioned anywhere in the description. After complaining, the operator removed the photo, but it could easily be added again. We did end up visiting the lotus pond, but during the tour the guide said it was not included in the itinerary. I could not have known the name of the place from just the photo, so it felt misleading not to list it properly. While the lotus pond was beautiful, it was never clearly communicated as an official part of the tour or as a replacement for Khao Daeng. The guide was friendly, but compared to other tours I have taken in Thailand, he didn’t provide much information about the places we visited. For the price we paid, I expected a more informative experience. Lunch did not include drinks. While it was only 50 THB, for such an expensive tour this felt unnecessary and added to the impression that the tour was overpriced and poor value for money. I understand weather can change, but unclear communication, misleading photos, the low refund after unnecessary arguing, and the overall poor value make it difficult to recommend this tour. It did not deliver what was advertised or what we paid for.
