The tour was unforgettable. We traveled comfortably, and our guide, Andrey, told us a wealth of interesting stories. The monkeys were funny, and the elephants were simply delightful. We had a fantastic lunch: seafood, tom yum, and pineapples. We didn't regret going on it or choosing your company. You're the best!

I'd like to express my gratitude to the Treasure Island company, and specifically to Andrey: he was punctual, discreet, and to the point. He told us a lot of interesting stories throughout the entire trip. He was pleasant to talk to. Water and a charging station were provided (which is very important). We were filled with positive emotions and had a great time! I highly recommend him!!!

This excursion will be enjoyed by both children and adults! We had a wonderful day! A sea of emotions and impressions. We visited a temple, fed "wild" monkeys (very cute animals), and went rafting on bamboo rafts, the cool river breeze being a real treat. Elephant rides, a cute elephant show, swimming with these wonderful animals, a delicious and varied lunch with an abundance of seafood, and finally, a swim at a waterfall were all a delight. Our guide, Alina, not only participated in an informative conversation about Phuket but also took photos and videos of us. A huge thank you to her for that!

Today's Khao Lak excursion was very interesting and educational. It's interesting because contact with nature and the local fauna always leaves a positive impression. For those who are fond of monkeys and elephants, this is just the thing. 👍 And it was educational thanks to our guide, Alina, who stayed in touch with us throughout the trip and was a source of new information for us.

On November 29, 2025, we went on an excursion to the Koa Lak Nature Reserve, rode elephants and swam with them, went rafting, fed monkeys, and visited a rock temple. In the morning, we were treated to delicious coffee, and the seafood lunch was absolutely amazing; we couldn't even finish it all. The excursion was fantastic and captivating; I highly recommend it. The places are stunning, and the memories will last a lifetime. I highly recommend it. I want to say a huge thank you to Alina, our guide, a true professional. The trip there and back flew by.

I enjoyed it, especially the elephant ride and the interaction with them. The bamboo raft ride wasn't great, so I think you could easily skip it and head straight to the waterfalls; they're beautiful. They gave a very interesting account of Thailand's history and the country's attractions in general. I'd like to hear more of the story at the Buddha Temple.
