Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    An amazing experience!
    Picked up early from my hotel. Arrived and was given refreshments and waited for the other people to arrive. Place is spotlessly clean. Lovely spacious bathrooms and shower area too if needed. Our guide was very informative and funny. We were brought to prepare the elephants food and told about their diet etc. We then all had an opportunity to feed the elephants. There are only 4 elephants (I think) at this sanctuary. Then we walked through the forest
    With them and watched them find their own food. We also were given a bag of bananas and sugar cane to feed them. Then we walked over to an area where we got to shower them. We didn’t get in to the water. It was just a hose down. They then went to bath in water. We watched these best friends help each other up from the water with their trunks. Just magical. They then went to cover themselves in dust and off they went back to chill out for a few hours. It wasn’t quite 2 hours but it was enough. It was evident to see a genuine love and respect for these beautiful animals by all staff.

    Our transport was delayed when it was time to leave so our tour guide dropped us back to our hotel. That’s customer care in a nutshell

    Really really worth a visit and support this worthy sanctuary

    Had a truly amazing time in Khao Lak. We stayed at the Tui blue hotel which was amazing. The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was excellent.
    We particularly liked the fact that we were able to dine for both breakfast and dinner sitting outside listening to the sound of the waves on the shore.
    Would certainly recommend it.

    The trip was amazing and crew were very funny and looked after us. The only think I have to say is that for the amount of time we spent on the boat to go snorkeling was longer than I had expected. We also came from Khao Lak and the car ride itself took almost 3 hours which we were not expecting as it's not really explained anywhere. Overall the its worth seeing the sites

    While we thought this was just a booking agency, Discovery Travel was so much more. Greeted by our guide Kiwi and driver at our hotel in Khoa Lak, they took us to the pier. We ate breakfast and had coffee. There were a lot of tourists so we didn’t know what to expect. Kiwi was with on our entire journey making sure we had the best of everything on our day adventure to Surin islands. Kiwi made sure we were first on the fast boat to the islands. Once we arrived, our group of 4 was met by our longtail boat (Captain and 2 small boys - Captain's son and cousin). We were quickly off to our first snorkel before any other groups. Kiwi was with us in the water and her love for the sea and adventure was amazing. We snorkeled a total of 3 great locations with no other boats or tourists. We loved the beautiful water and many beautiful types of coral. My wife especially liked all the bright green. Many fish and a big Moray eel. Loved the huge school of Barracudas!

    We ended our day at the local village were Kiwi recommended face paint - Which was special meeting a local girl who painted my face. Thanks Kiwi and Discovery Travel for making this such a special day in the Surin Islands! Kiwi, you were such an awesome guide! Highly recommend!

    A full, fun- packed day with a wide range of experiences. The day was busy but gave enough time in each location to not feel rushed. Staff were fantastic - fun, professional and attentive at all times. Refreshments were plentiful and the lunch on Panyee Island was superb. Incredible snorkling from the beach, seeing the tiny school and football pitch on Panyee Island to kayaking through rock formations and James Bond Island, this trip exceeded our expectations. Couldn't fault the trip. Would highly recommend this trip and company. .

    Seastar are a very big operation with a number of boats doing the trip. Bo, Dada and the team did a good job looking after us on the speed catamaran and the islands. It took an hour on the boat to get to the first island and 90 minutes to return.
    We went to 4 islands and had 2 snorkelling sessions of 40 minutes each, which we loved. Lunch was okay and Seastar also provided food before we went and on arrival at the end of the day. It was a good day out.
    We booked the trip locally for THB2,500 each including pick up from our hotel in Khao Lak.

    We really enjoyed our day trip to the National park. So beautiful and our guide was fun & knowledgable. We hiked for a couple of hours, seeing the natural beauty of the park, and swam in the river at the end of the walk. The bamboo rafting was amazing too, so relaxing & beautiful. Thanks for a great day!

    We were looking to go to Ko Ta Poo(James Bond Island), We were 3 adults and our 10 Year old daughter. A half day was our maximum attention span for our group, :+) , this was perfect, we were very lucky to have ended up as only us on the tour(low season), the awesome guide Ran, with driver Dam gave us the full 5 star treatment, funny, interesting & genuine. We were very aware of what was included, no Canoeing or lunch, as per what it says on the 1/2 day tour. If you want this, don’t book the half day, Ran will thank us for this ;+). This trip really made our time in Thailand even greater, superb, we all can't wait to come back.

    It was canceled by the operator. After the confirmation the operator informed that the experience was fully booked. Now I am waiting for the reimbursement.

    Ching was such a perfect guide and the whole team was so friendly and professional! Program is perfect, and the region is amazing. When suggested to do kayak at the emerald pool: do it to access best jungle views). We were a group of 6 and almost alone in all places we visited thanks to Ching's great timing for activities. Most most recommended! Thank you for the magical memories!
