Khao Sok Jungle Hiking and Canoeing Day Trip with Phuket Travel Store

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.

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.
