As other reviews say: Keyword service!! Incredibly great service of the highest class. The entire crew was extremely attentive, polite, sociable and catered to every request! The program was carried out exactly as planned and ran perfectly in terms of time, it is clearly visible that they are a very well-coordinated team. They draw attention to the surroundings and photo spots, the food tasted fabulous and there is PLENTY of it. I have never eaten so much in the last month in Thailand. Our guide Toto is excellent at recognizing how to best address and interact with each individual. He switched very skillfully between relaxed and humorous to respectful and polite and won the hearts of all participants. At the end he asked each individual if anything could be improved and thanked and said goodbye to each one personally. (There was nothing to complain about). An absolute must if you want a relaxed journey to the national park.

Loved that they really put the animals first- no rides or bathing them which is brilliant. The feeding part is the best...I was anazrd that an adult eats up to 300kg per day- so it is fine that we tourists go and feed them. Also loved that they are free and private away from the visitors for 20 hours per day

The tour was great. Very well organized, everything went well. Kayaking was also a lot of fun. All in all, a really good tour

Emma was vey good fun and very knowledgeable a great host

Everything was perfect! By far the best day cruise
