The perfect program for the whole family! Visit the Reclining Buddha Temple with monkeys. Enjoy a bamboo raft ride along the rivers. Experience an elephant ride through the jungle. Watch a baby elephant show and swim with it. Swim in a waterfall. Finish the day with a seafood lunch.
From the very first moment of our journey, we felt cared for and cared for. Our guide, Victoria, was incredibly pleasant, warm, and a true professional. She enthusiastically shared stories about Thai culture and traditions, laws, the lives of local residents, and the island of Phuket. Her stories made our trip even more vibrant and educational. Our first stop was the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, a majestic and tranquil place where the tranquility and spiritual atmosphere of Thailand are particularly vivid. Upon exiting the temple, we were met by funny monkeys—we fed them, watched their antics, and received countless smiles. A truly touching and joyful moment of the trip! Our next stop was the elephant farm. The elephant ride was an incredible experience and a feeling of oneness with these amazing animals. And then came the most touching part—swimming with the elephants. We were especially captivated by the baby elephant, Arbuzinka—a true talent! She twirled a hula hoop on her trunk, danced, and made funny sounds. We laughed and were touched nonstop. Such a performance and interaction are unforgettable! After a busy program, a magnificent lunch awaited us. The seafood was simply amazing—the tables were groaning with delicacies. Magical tom yum, juicy and aromatic sea bass—everything was incredibly delicious, like a feast for gourmets. And at the end of the trip, after lunch, we headed to the waterfalls. This was a wonderful finale to the excursion. We climbed the cascades, swam in the cool water, and enjoyed the majestic natural views. The waterfalls were incredibly beautiful and gave us a feeling of complete oneness with nature. The excursion flew by: everything was perfectly organized, rich, interesting, and heartfelt. My son was absolutely delighted, and so were we. The impressions were incredible! Huge thanks to the entire team and especially to our wonderful guide, Victoria! This trip was one of the most memorable and heartwarming moments of our vacation in Thailand. We recommend it to anyone who wants a truly "wow" experience and wants to see Thailand at its best! ❤️

Today we went on a Khao Lak excursion. A Thai driver and Russian-speaking guide, Vera, picked us up in the morning. She met us at the hotel entrance and told us about our tour itinerary. As we walked along, Vera introduced us to the history of Thailand, telling us about the locals, their religion, holidays, and everyday life. Our first stop was the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. It's an indescribable experience; you have to see it and breathe it in. The scent, the lighting in the cave, the statue of the reclining Buddha, and the statues around it are simply mesmerizing. There's a beautiful Thai-style temple on the grounds next to the cave. After admiring the temple's beauty and touching a tree that, according to legend, grants wishes, we went to feed the monkeys. They are funny and non-aggressive. They happily ate the treats we bought at the entrance to the area. Then we went on a rafting trip along the river. Alone with nature, like in the jungle)). A river, a raft, bamboo growing in the water, hanging vines. Our next destination was a ride on large, beautiful elephants. Everyone was able to ride on the back of an elephant and have an unforgettable experience. We were delighted swimming with the elephants. We poured water on them, and they poured water on us.)). Baby elephant Arbuzinka is a natural-born artist. She has her own show. Arbuzinka dances beautifully, and plays the harmonica. She even kisses tenderly. We fed Arbuzinka and went to eat too. Lunch with a variety of seafood dishes. At the end of our excursion, we arrived at a waterfall. Tall, clean, and bubbling. We got beautiful photos as a souvenir. The excursion was eventful, interesting, and unforgettable. Special thanks to our guide. Very interesting to listen to. She shares many interesting facts, smiles a lot, and is very pleasant, kind, and attentive. I'd love to take more tours with her. Thank you so much ♥️.

Hello. Our wonderful Russian-speaking guide, Vera, greeted us at the hotel entrance. She immediately explained our tour itinerary clearly and in detail. We began by visiting the Sat Wuman (Reclining Buddha) cave temple. It's mesmerizing and impressive, with an atmosphere of mystery and grandeur. It's a must-see and experience. On the temple grounds, we were lucky enough to treat some friendly, friendly monkeys to bananas and nuts. Next, we went to visit a wonderful place for a meeting with words. It's an unforgettable experience. Riding on an elephant's back was a delight. After the ride, we swam with the elephants, dousing them with water, and they happily played and splashed us with water. Both adults and children will enjoy the show featuring a female elephant named Arbuzinka. We also had the opportunity to float down the river on bamboo rafts and swim under a beautiful, turbulent waterfall. We enjoyed a seafood lunch; there was a wide variety of dishes, and I think everyone would find something new and delicious. No one would go hungry. I'd like to add that throughout our tour, I learned a lot about Thailand and its religion. It was fascinating to hear about the life of Buddha and the customs and traditions of this magical world. Our wonderful guide, Vera, told us all about it in a very engaging way. She tells everything very interestingly. It would be a pleasure to join her on another tour and, of course, to visit new places with your company.

On October 13, 2025, we took a fascinating Khao Lak Comfort tour led by our wonderful guide, Andrey. The program was rich and varied, offering a wealth of memorable experiences! The first stop was a visit to the famous Reclining Buddha, a majestic temple striking in its beauty and tranquility. This was followed by a bamboo rafting trip down a picturesque Thai river. A particularly enjoyable experience was the elephant ride. This unique animal captivated our hearts with its kind nature. Swimming with a mother and baby elephant was an unforgettable adventure, filled with joy and fun. After the elephant spa, we enjoyed a delicious lunch reminiscent of the best restaurants in Thailand. The day concluded with a swim in a beautiful waterfall, where we refreshed ourselves with cool water and recharged with the energy of nature. The tour was well-organized, and Andrey proved himself to be an experienced and attentive guide, ready to share his knowledge and make the trip comfortable and safe. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Thailand, learn about local traditions, and experience unforgettable emotions! Thanks to Andrey for a wonderful day! Thanks to Treasure Island for the excellent service, everything was perfect, from the booking process to the comfortable transfer to and from the hotel! We've also booked a two-day island hopping tour near Treasure Island!

We generally enjoyed everything; the tour is suitable for both adults and children. The elephants and monkeys 🙈 really lifted our spirits. The driver braked too abruptly during the first half of the tour, causing half the group to feel carsick, but after we asked him to drive more carefully, he changed lanes. My suggestion to the organizers: explain this to all drivers immediately; the roads are mountainous and winding. Another point: the order of the locations doesn't match the description. A dress code is important for the temple. If the temple is always visited first (and the guide explained it that way), it would be a good idea to change the program description so people don't have to change in the car. Otherwise, we had only positive experiences. The guide, Alina, is a sociable and open person. She treated the group with care and shared many interesting facts about the program and life in Phuket in general. The program was moderately action-packed; we got tired right at the last stop, so more locations weren't needed. The small group was also very appealing; we didn't have to wait anywhere, and everyone was nice. Thank you, we look forward to future excursions!

We went on a tour with our guide Katya. It was incredibly interesting! We saw elephants and monkeys. While on the rafts, we saw snakes and frogs—the views were fantastic. Thank you so much to Katya for her fascinating story about Thailand, its customs, life, myths, and so on.

Our whole family went on a Khao Lak excursion with Treasure Island on January 13, 2026, with an incredibly engaging guide, Adam Khaidarov. We absolutely loved the tour! It was so colorful and atmospheric at every location that we didn't want to leave. There was a stunning temple, very civilized monkeys, the cutest elephants (especially the little beauty Arbuzinka), a refreshing waterfall, and such a peaceful river rafting. We had a delicious lunch—our taste buds were thrilled! 😂 I'm so grateful to our guide, Adam, for such a fulfilling day! It was a pleasure listening to you, very engaging and informative. P.S. We really hope that one day Thailand will welcome an elephant named Adam. Our family really enjoyed spending time with you, especially our son, Sasha. Thank you, Treasure Island, for such a wonderful opportunity to learn and see the beauty of Thailand. We wish your company prosperity, good luck, and new achievements! 💪🏻

A great, easy excursion! We interacted with the elephants. If you're afraid of heights, the elephants might be a bit uncomfortable, but you don't have to ride them; you can feed them and swim with them afterwards. We rode bamboo rafts, and even had the chance to steer the raft yourself. We had a light lunch. We visited a waterfall. The cool water was full of fish.

Overall, we really enjoyed everything: interesting and atmospheric places, a delicious lunch, a small group, and a pleasant guide. We were a bit disappointed, perhaps with more impressions, perhaps stories about the area (Artur, our guide, was on this route for the first time), or perhaps some other activities, or the same activities, but longer.
