Nature and Nirvana - White Temple, elephants, Karen village, and spa relaxation

On December 24th, we went on the Nature and Nirvana tour. We went because of Mantra Forest (it was absolutely nirvana, with lots of interesting locations, a lake with water lilies, bowls with various fillings, saunas, a seawater pool, etc.). What we didn't expect was that we really enjoyed the first part of the tour: the white temple, the amazing view from the Samet Nangshe observation deck, the cute elephants we hugged and kissed, and the atmospheric village. Our guide, Katya Schmidt, gave us fascinating insights into Thailand, its traditions, and legends. She accompanied us to every location, took photos, and practically united us into one friendly, fun team. Thank you!

The tour was amazing! Ekaterina is the best guide in Phuket. It was informative, interesting, and very positive 👍

We had planned a different excursion – to Bond Island with a break at an eco-spa, but the group was full. Manager Nastya quickly found a replacement. The "Nature and Nirvana" excursion also included a visit to the spa. It's a shame we didn't get to see Bond Island, but there were other interesting locations. Alina was a wonderful guide. The long drive flew by. Alina's lively and engaging account of Thailand's history, culture, and traditions captivated everyone. Everything was organized to the highest standard. We were given three hours to relax at the spa. That's enough time to leisurely explore all the baths, take photos, and simply relax. We were a bit out of step with the marketing hype, though. A huge thank you to Alina for the wonderful excursion and to the entire Treasure Island team. You're the best!

This isn't our first time visiting Treasure Island, and the organization was, as always, top-notch 🔝 We especially enjoyed this excursion! It was completely relaxing 🤍, we traveled in a comfortable minivan, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi 👍🏻 Our first stop was a temple. We walked around, took photos, made wishes, and then went to the observation deck. The views were incredible. Then, according to the plan, we visited baby elephants 🐘, and that was the most wonderful moment. On the way from place to place, our wonderful guide Alina🫶🏻 (if you have the opportunity, be sure to go with Alina♥️) told us different things about Phuket and its people and much, much more... we all listened with great interest🔝🫶🏻 and the last stop was the SPA complex, for a good 3 hours🤤 The complex itself is new, beautiful, there is everything you want, saunas, hot/cold baths/tea/coffee/lemongrass/turmeric, etc., a very beautiful pool, a restaurant, a bar, massage... in short, three hours fly by very quickly. For the excursion itself, as my husband said, you can even go after the plane😁 Thank you Alina♥️ Thank you Treasure Island🤍

A tour about relaxation, pleasure, and unforgettable experiences. A mini-journey that ends with a luxurious spa experience. Thanks to Treasure Island for organizing it and to our guide, Arina, for a wonderful day.
