Khao Sok Jungle Hiking and Bamboo Rafting Day Trip with Phuket Travel Store

Discover the wonders of Khao Sok National Park on an unforgettable day trip that combines jungle hiking, bamboo rafting, and natural relaxation. If you are looking for an authentic eco-adventure during your holiday in Thailand, the Khao Sok Jungle Hiking and Bamboo Rafting Day Trip with Phuket Travel Store is one of the best experiences you can book. This full-day journey takes you deep into Thailand’s oldest rainforest, where limestone mountains rise dramatically from the jungle, rivers flow peacefully, and wildlife thrives in its natural habitat.  

Explore Khao Sok National Park in One Day

Located just a few hours from Phuket and Khao Lak, Khao Sok National Park is recognized as one of the most beautiful and biodiverse destinations in Thailand. Travelers from all over the world visit this protected area to experience its ancient rainforest, towering limestone cliffs, hidden waterfalls, giant trees, orchids, and rare wildlife. Booking your day trip with Phuket Travel Store ensures you enjoy premium service, knowledgeable guides, and an itinerary designed to show you the very best of this unique environment.

Unlike crowded tourist spots, Khao Sok offers a more serene and natural escape. Here you can walk through pristine jungle trails, listen to the calls of tropical birds, and witness plants and animals that have existed for millions of years. Whether you are a couple, family, or small group, this adventure is designed for travelers who want to connect with nature in an authentic and eco-friendly way.

Jungle Hiking in Khao Sok

Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Phuket or Khao Lak before traveling in an air-conditioned vehicle to Khao Sok National Park Ranger Station. After meeting your local English-speaking guide, you’ll be introduced to the day’s highlights and start your jungle trekking experience. The hike takes about three hours and follows a well-maintained trail through the rainforest.

During the trek, you will encounter lush vegetation, colorful butterflies, exotic flowers, and perhaps monkeys or small mammals. Guides share fascinating stories about the forest, including how local communities have used plants for food, medicine, and shelter throughout history. The hike is not too demanding, making it suitable for most travelers, while still offering an immersive experience into the heart of the rainforest.

One of the highlights of the hike is the stop at Bang Hua Rad Waterfall, where you can rest and enjoy the refreshing sound of water cascading into the jungle. This natural break is a perfect moment for photos, relaxation, and to appreciate the untouched beauty of Khao Sok National Park.

Lunch with a View

After completing the trek, you will enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a restaurant set against the backdrop of Khao Sok’s limestone cliffs. The Cliff View Restaurant is known for its panoramic views and authentic southern Thai dishes, offering travelers a well-deserved break before continuing the adventure.

Bamboo Rafting on the Sok River

The afternoon highlights the unique charm of bamboo rafting in Khao Sok. Unlike speedboats or canoes, bamboo rafts provide a quiet, eco-friendly way to travel down the Sok River, one of the most picturesque waterways in Thailand. Your skilled paddler steers the raft while you sit back and relax, surrounded by towering cliffs, emerald jungle, and the soothing sounds of flowing water.

This part of the day allows you to slow down and take in the sights at a gentle pace. Bamboo rafting in Khao Sok National Park is also a great way to spot kingfishers, reptiles, and other wildlife that thrive along the riverbanks. For photographers and nature lovers, it is a highlight that captures the tranquil side of the rainforest.

Relaxation at Rommanee Hot Spring

To end the day, the trip includes a visit to Rommanee Hot Spring, where you can unwind after the trek and rafting. You may choose to dip your feet in the mineral-rich waters or enjoy a full-body soak. The natural hot spring is believed to have healing properties and is the perfect conclusion to a day of adventure and exploration.

Wunderschönes Erlebnis mit Elefanten!

Das war einer der schönsten Ausflüge, die wir je gemacht haben. Die Elefanten leben hier wirklich artgerecht - kein Reiten, kein Zwang, einfach nur Ruhe und Respekt. Wir konnten sie füttern, mit ihnen spazieren gehen und sie aus nächster Nahe erleben. Die Atmosphäre war total entspannt, nichts war überlaufen oder touristisch übertrieben. Auch die Guides waren super freundlich und haben viel über die Tiere und den Hintergrund des Projekts erzählt. Man merkt sofort: Hier steht das Wohl der Tiere an erster Stelle. Für alle, die Tiere lieben und auf verantwortungsvollen Tourismus Wert legen, ist das ein absolutes Muss. Danke an Phuket Travel Store für diese besondere Erfahrung!

Amazing Phuket Explorer Tour – Booked with Phuket Travel Store!

We had an incredible experience on the Phuket Explorer Tour, booked through Phuket Travel Store. Everything was seamless from the start — easy booking, great communication, and a perfectly organized itinerary. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day engaging and fun. We visited all the must-see spots: Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, scenic viewpoints, and charming Old Phuket Town. Each stop gave us a deeper understanding of Phuket’s culture and beauty. The air-conditioned van was super comfortable, and the included lunch was tasty and authentic. We never felt rushed — just relaxed and well taken care of. This is the perfect tour if you want to explore Phuket in a day without stress. Highly recommend Phuket Travel Store for their excellent service and professionalism. Can’t wait to book with them again!
