Description
Explore the highlights of Khao Sok on a private half-day longtail boat tour of Cheow Lan Lake. Swim in breathtaking emerald waters in the world's oldest rainforest and visit Diamond Cave.
Depending on the option you choose, either get picked up at your hotel in Khao Sok or meet your captain at the pier in the stunning Khao Sok National Park. After arriving in the park, board a traditional private longtail boat to begin your exploration of the oldest rainforest area in the world.
This tour is perfect for people who love a peaceful boat tour in a gorgeous scenery. Pick the early morning option at 6.00 AM to avoid the crowds and to witness a magical sunrise at the lake. Pick the afternoon option to see sunset on the way back to the pier.
Cruise around Cheow Lan Lake on the longtail boat, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and beautiful nature. Marvel at the famous "Three Brothers", a group of 3 almost identical limestone rock formations, and keep an eye out for wild monkeys swinging in the trees.
Next, we head to the Diamond Cave (Pra Kie Phet Cave). Spend about 30 minutes exploring this mystical cave filled with coral, stalagmite, and stalactite formations. As you walk through the cave, spot bats, spiders, and snakes.
Our last stop is at the raft house, where you can relax at this peaceful area for the rest of the time, and enjoy swimming at the gorgeous emerald water. If you feel hungry, there is delicous food that you can buy at the local restaurant if there is a table free.
Return to the pier and cruise back, taking in the breathtaking views of the gigantic limestone cliffs. Enjoy a comfortable ride back to your hotel in Khao Sok if you selected the option with hotel transfers.

Tour schedule might differ due to weather and lake conditions
There’s an obvious reason Khao Sok’s nature is incredibly green year-round: it is one of the wettest regions of Thailand. Be prepared to get wet! Please bring waterproof bag and jacket in case it rains. The roof of the longtail boat is not not fully covering you for the rain, and in heavy winds the roof cannot be deployed.
Most rain falls between late April to December. The tour will continue in the rain if conditions are safe.
Spend 4 hours on the lake of Khao Sok: 1.5 hours on the private boat driving around, 30 minutes in the cave, and the rest of the time on a floating pier stop where you swim and relax.
Meet your captain near Cheow Lan Pier and ask for Waratep Boat. You will receive the exact meeting point information after booking with instructions on where to go. Please check your email from the activity provider to find this information. Check your spam folder if you do not see it.
