Good afternoon! We returned from this wonderful excursion yesterday. 💯 I highly recommend it. The views from the observation deck are stunning, the majestic white temple is magnificent, and the children especially enjoyed interacting with the elephants. A delicious lunch is included in the tour price, and the tour ends with a truly amazing spa complex. The return journey to Karon took us about two hours, and the journey back to the first point is about an hour. We had a wonderful guide, Victoria, who was very friendly and positive and told us many interesting facts about the history and traditions of Thailand. A huge thank you to her!!!
What a wonderful tour! Beautiful locations: the white temple, the observation deck, swimming and feeding the elephants—those were probably the most memorable and amazing experiences 🥰🐘🤗 and the spa, just what you need after a busy day 🤤 there's plenty of time to visit. And last but not least, the tour guide! Thanks to our guide Petr for his humor and fascinating stories about Thailand 🫶🏻
This was an unforgettable excursion! We had a wonderful experience and were so full of positive emotions. We'd like to express our special gratitude to our guide, Esmira, who shared such an engaging and captivating account of life and traditions in Thailand. Thanks to her, we were able to deeply understand the atmosphere of this amazing country. Each location was uniquely interesting and incredibly beautiful. Our interaction with the elephants was especially memorable—a truly touching and unique experience. The breathtaking panoramic views left us breathless, creating unforgettable photos and memories. And the cherry on top was a visit to the spa—the perfect ending to a busy and wonderful day!
Hello everyone! This was a wonderful excursion – Nature and Nirvana! ❤️ Such beautiful views of the bay from the observation deck. The White Temple is gorgeous; of course, it's a new building, not historical, but I was still very pleased with this location. The Karen village – nice girls, sweet, smiling, friendly, and we even danced their traditional dance. Well done! You can buy handmade souvenirs from them! A special delight – the cute elephants! Kisses, hugs, and swimming. It was an incredibly pleasant experience interacting with them. 100 thousand million 💋 to the elephants! The spa was a wonderful end to the excursion! Relaxation, pleasant atmosphere! Special thanks to the wonderful guide Esmira ❤️ This girl is a walking encyclopedia; she knows everything, a treasure trove of information. Thank you for a wonderful excursion! 🌸💕🔥
A wonderful tour with a convenient departure time. We really appreciated how the time allocated for each location was optimal. Our engaging and knowledgeable guide, Alina, shared a wealth of information about both the tour and life in Thailand and the local population. We especially enjoyed the final location, the Mantra Spa Complex; we thoroughly relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. And of course, the lunch was simply delicious. A huge thank you to our guide, Alina, and the Treasure Island team; this day will forever be etched in our memories. We wish you success in your endeavors. Irina and Olga.
Overall, we enjoyed the tour. The tour description initially tipped us off to a visit to a Karen village and an introduction to their way of life and crafts. However, it turned out to be a sham, which genuinely disappointed us. There was no village, just four small shops selling goods claimed to be made by the Karen people. We didn't see any Karen life or daily life. A photo stop at "Elephant's Stomach" rock was also advertised, but we couldn't figure out where it was, and the guide didn't tell us. Lunch was delicious, and we enjoyed the visit to the spa; it's truly a wonderful place! We went on February 19, 2026.
The Nature and Nirvana tour was perfect! 👌🏼 Starting with the guide, Alina, a Siberian woman with a great sense of humor and interesting facts about Thailand, she was interactive the entire way, so the distances between destinations didn't seem long! Special thanks to her! What's so great about this tour? Everything! We went with our 4-year-old, and she loved it too. It combines two new attractions we wanted to see: the White Temple and the Mantra Spa. By the way, there weren't any crowds of tourists anywhere! The lunch was decent and delicious. The elephant farm is a special kind of pleasure, a very homey atmosphere - they brought 6 elephants), everything is not in a hurry - we kissed the elephants to our heart's content 😂👌🏼, and enjoyed shopping. In all the years of visiting Thailand, this farm has hit the spot. Mantra Spa... three hours is perfect. Those who come to take pictures of water lilies - first run and take pictures, then enjoy the baths. I am delighted with the hot baths, my husband with the ice baths. Thank you, "Treasure Island" for such an emotional and colorful excursion. Alina, personal thanks to you too!)
I want to express my gratitude to guide Adam! He wasn't just a guide who accompanied us around the locations; he spoke about the historical origins of Thailand, the royal family, traditional Thai customs, and their culture. I thoroughly enjoyed and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The "Nature and Nirvana" excursion immersed me in a world of exoticism and childhood. The program was organized without rushing, allowing enough time for each location. First, we visited the White Temple, then drove to the observation deck, climbing up in a pickup truck. There were no crowds. When we arrived at the elephants, we were very pleased that Adam was always nearby and, with his love for the animals, encouraged tourists to think about their exploitation during rides! We generously treated the elephants with bananas and reeds, and they also generously offered us kisses and hugs. Little Nadya was lying upside down after her swim ☺️ Lunch was delicious and filling. The time we spent at the spa allowed us to enjoy the thermal springs and herbal bowls ❤️ I highly recommend this program, or better yet, just take any of Adam's tours! He's a wealth of knowledge and a kind soul ❤️ Thank you, Treasure Island, for a wonderful vacation 🏝️💚🐘🏞️
I want to share my impressions of the tour. The program was so perfectly planned that I barely even noticed how the day flew by. Lots of walks, interaction with elephants, a delicious Thai-style lunch, and the perfect end to the evening with a three-hour program at a luxurious spa! I want to especially mention the guide Alina. She is very knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and well-versed in all matters. She told me a great deal about Thailand. Thank you, Alina 🙏 I highly recommend this tour. You'll have a sea of emotions and impressions!
It was unforgettable, the whole tour was filled with emotions. I had goosebumps the whole time. We had a really great guide, Adam! He told us a lot, and it was so interesting to listen to him. He told us stories, and we were immersed in the story like a fairy tale. He's very warm, sweet, and very knowledgeable. He knows a lot and enjoys sharing them, and listening to him is a real pleasure. He also knows where to take great photos and will help with them if needed, which is very important for a guide. At first, the tour may seem uninteresting, but it's worth it; you'll be immersed in a range of emotions all day long. You're guaranteed to get great photos as a keepsake. The elephants were incredible. The spa was relaxing and a really cool location; even the crowds didn't spoil it at all. Most of the tour sites were empty, only the spa was full, and our guide, Adam, helped us avoid the long line.
