We absolutely loved the tour! A sea of impressions and beautiful photos to remember the day by. The White Temple is magnificent, and the spa was simply magical – we rested, relaxed, and swam to our hearts' content. The elephants brought a million emotions and positive vibes. The organization was also top-notch: a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer, a professional guide, and an engaging introduction to Thailand along the way to the locations. Overall, a huge thank you to Treasure Island!!! We loved everything. We've chosen other tours from them and will definitely go again.
An amazing tour! Our guide, Alina, was a miracle! We've never heard so many interesting facts about Thailand. The group was small, so we managed to see everything, but the only problem was there wasn't much time for the temple. If you want to take costumes for photos, you'll have to run around to fit everything in. The lunch was delicious, and we left full and satisfied. The elephant sanctuary was a special treat. If you're wondering whether to take this tour, the answer is clear: YES! Thanks to Alina for the wonderful atmosphere and engaging tour!
Alina is a beauty. She showed me more places in one visit than my daughter and I had seen during our week in Thailand. 😅 We asked for a water lily tour—it was a wonderful way to end a three-hour spa day. A bonus for me was feeding and cuddles with the elephants. My child was thrilled ♥️
Today we went on a tour with Mira, the guide. She was fantastic, explained everything in detail, and answered all our questions. It was incredibly interesting and colorful. We had a delicious lunch. We were left with only positive emotions!

The tour was simply incredible! Everything was organized perfectly, from the transfer to the program itself. The White Temple is a true gem, a truly atmospheric and beautiful place. The observation deck overlooking the bay was absolutely stunning 😍 I especially loved the visit to the elephant sanctuary—it was the most wonderful and memorable experience! And, of course, relaxing at the spa at the end of the day was the perfect ending. Special thanks to our guide, Petr Trushev—he was incredibly engaging, and everything was easy, comfortable, and heartfelt. The day flew by! I highly recommend it ❤️
The tour was excellent, convenient, and relaxed. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. Guide Alina—special thanks to her for her professionalism 🙏🤝
Overall, the tour was well organized. The transfer was convenient, and everything was on time. The guide was detailed and engaging, and there were no issues with the organization. The White Temple is beautiful and unusual, but for me personally, it wasn't a "wow" experience. I wouldn't go again; it was more of a show-stopper. We might have just been unlucky with the monk. He didn't seem particularly engaged, quickly tying ribbons for others and smoking. By comparison, at the Big Buddha, the monk performed a full ritual, saying something and sprinkling water; the atmosphere there was more profound. I liked the observation deck; the views were beautiful. We were lucky; there weren't many people there. But this place is only for 10-15 minutes; there's nothing to do there for longer. The weakest part of the tour was the food. I hope the organizers will address this. There weren't enough shrimp; the first few people took 3-4 each, and the rest got nothing. The tom yum was too spicy, and many simply fished out the seafood. The chicken was served at the end and was very dry; almost no one ate it. Two elephants were simply ordered in vain. The sauces were too spicy. As a result, my family and I left without having eaten enough. There's no separate menu for children. We went with a four-year-old, and the program itself was fine, but almost all the families ordered additional fries and nuggets for the kids at their own expense, just to make sure they ate anything at all. This is worth considering. We liked the elephants; they were a positive part of the program. I would have liked a little more time for feeding, especially when there are six elephants and you want to give each one your attention. Karen people. The stop is short, and there's not much to do there. The group simply wasn't interested, so we left early. This place is more about looking at the girls and buying souvenirs to support them. But you have mixed feelings because this kind of support also keeps them in the system longer. The impression is rather sad. The spa is excellent, plenty of time. There are 5-6 different hot tubs, about 37-40 degrees Celsius; not everyone decides to go in, but I liked it. I recommend it. Mud and turmeric treatments can stain white clothing, so it's best to warn your guide about this in advance! This is a good point to keep in mind, as reception may not mention it! The spa is located far from the tourist areas, so a separate trip isn't ideal. If you're specifically looking for a place to visit, it's easier to take a tour, especially if you haven't seen the other stops yet. This was my first tour of this kind, so I have nothing to compare it to. The organization was good, but the food really spoiled the experience.
A great tour—unstressful, comfortable, beautiful, and affordable. The elephants were beautiful and kind, and the Mantra Spa was the best spa I've ever seen. The observation deck was also fantastic. I absolutely loved everything. Our guide, Alina, was fantastic 🙏
A wonderful excursion for those visiting the island for the first time. 🏝️The White Temple was simply stunning – it was like stepping into a fairy tale! A truly spiritual atmosphere! And the elephants were right in the heart of the experience. ♥️ A spa treatment at the end of the day was just what you need after a hot and eventful day. ✨ We went on a tour with guide Alina. 🌸I'd like to highlight our guide's deep knowledge, charisma, and ability to engage with an audience. Thanks to her, we had a ton of positive emotions and learned new things! We'll definitely recommend this excursion to our friends and acquaintances!
