Experience the magic of Cheow Lan Lake in the Khao Sok National Park on a 2-day tour from Krabi including sightseeing by longtail boat, lake canoeing, caving and an overnight stay in a raft house lead by a knowledgeable English speaking tour guide.
The trip starts with an early pickup from your hotel in Krabi. Make a stop of 1 hour at Tha Pom Klong Song Nam where you can walk on a natural trail along the fresh water stream.
Continue to the suspension bridge of Khao Theppithak with a scenic view to the river and surrounding mountains. Then enjoy a Thai lunch at the jungle hut near the Khao Sok River. Drive further to Ratchaprapha Dam from where a longtail boat will bring you to the floating raft houses on Cheow Lan Lake in 45 min.
Check in at your raft house and take a refreshing dip in the lake. Explore the surrounding area by canoe before starting the evening lake safari. You are likely to spot hornbills which are commonly seen in the old-growth jungle trees at the water's edge. Back at the raft house, enjoy a dinner.
After a well-deserved deep slumber, do a sightseeing trip by longtail boat to enjoy the early morning mist on the still lake. It's now time for a rich breakfast to strengthen yourself for the next adventure. Follow a mini jungle trail into the breathtaking Pra Kay Petch Cave which winds deep into the interior of Khao Sok. Next you’ll strap on your headlamps. Prepare to get wet, as the hike extends through the “water cave” and soon becomes a dark wonderland.
Complete your eco adventure with a lunch before heading back to Krabi with drop-off at your hotel at approx. 17.00.
