Oat and Ding were fabulous. We had an amazing day! The market was most interesting. Oat bought some mango and rose apple for us to try. The elephant sanctuary was so much fun. Feeding, mudding, bathing, walking. Then off to the restaurant where we made Tom Yum soup and ate enough for a week! We felt full and sleepy for our bamboo raft ride. The coffee from bamboo cups woke us up. Overall a perfect day

We had the best day with the sweetest guide, mau ☺️ we went as a family of four and there was only 2 other tourist on the same trip☺️ the trip was as we had hoped for and more , and the food was perfect. There was more than enough for all of us☺️ We live on karon beach so the dive was 2hours long, both ways but definitely worth it.

A great family day out - an experience our kids will never forget. Well organised and happy guides made it a very easy process

Nine our guide was wonderful. I would recommend this tour to everyone who is an animal lover. Best tour so far.

Was one of the best days on vacation! We can only recommend the tour to everyone :)
