Khao Sok Jungle Hike & Canoe Tour - Day Adventure Escape
If you are looking for an unforgettable eco-adventure in Southern Thailand, the Khao Sok Jungle Hiking and Canoeing Day Trip with Phuket Travel Store is the perfect choice. This full-day experience takes you deep into the heart of Khao Sok National Park, home to the world’s oldest evergreen rainforest, dramatic limestone cliffs, giant trees, and pristine rivers. Combining a jungle trek, a canoeing adventure, and encounters with Thailand’s lush wildlife, this tour is ideal for nature lovers, families, and anyone wanting to experience the true wilderness of Thailand in one day.
Why Khao Sok National Park?
Located just a few hours from Phuket and Khao Lak, Khao Sok National Park is one of Thailand’s most spectacular natural treasures. Its towering limestone mountains, crystal-clear rivers, and thriving biodiversity make it one of the country’s most popular eco-tourism destinations. Trekking through the jungle allows you to see giant ancient trees, exotic plants, and maybe even spot wildlife such as monkeys, hornbills, and colorful butterflies.
Meanwhile, canoeing on the Sok River provides a peaceful way to admire the lush jungle landscape from the water. For many visitors, the balance of trekking and river adventure makes this tour one of the highlights of their trip to Southern Thailand.
Jungle Hiking in Khao Sok
Your day begins with a guided hike into the rainforest. Accompanied by an experienced local guide, you’ll explore hidden jungle trails that reveal some of the park’s most unique features. Highlights include:
- Giant rainforest trees that are hundreds of years old.
- Exotic flora, such as bamboo groves and tropical vines.
- Streams and small waterfalls hidden inside the jungle.
- Educational insights into the rainforest ecosystem.
The jungle hiking experience in Khao Sok is not too difficult, making it suitable for families, couples, and small groups. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the wildlife, plants, and the importance of rainforest conservation.
Canoeing on the Sok River
After your jungle trek, the adventure continues on the Sok River. Step into an inflatable canoe, where a skilled paddler will guide you downstream. The canoeing trip in Khao Sok National Park is calm and safe, perfect for all ages. As you float along the gentle current, you’ll enjoy breathtaking scenery, including:
- Towering limestone cliffs rising dramatically above the jungle.
- Monkeys and other wildlife playing in the trees near the riverbank.
- Colorful tropical birds, such as kingfishers and hornbills.
- Cool breezes and refreshing river water to keep you comfortable.
Midway through the canoeing trip, you’ll even stop for a traditional jungle coffee break. Coffee or tea is prepared in bamboo and served in eco-friendly bamboo cups — a small but unforgettable detail that makes the day special.
Authentic Thai Lunch
Between the jungle hike and canoeing, you’ll enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant surrounded by limestone cliffs and lush greenery. The Thai buffet lunch in Khao Sok typically includes a variety of local dishes, fresh fruit, and refreshing drinks. It’s the perfect chance to recharge and taste authentic Southern Thai cuisine while surrounded by nature.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
