★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 337 reviews · 4 hours · from $48Our pick

Spend four hours in Khao Sok National Park with a private or small-group guide who can adjust the pace and route. Guides such as Aek, June, Big Boy, Diamond, and Nicey are praised for spotting monkeys, gibbons, snakes, spiders, and insects that are easy to miss. The trek includes Bang Hua Raet and Wing Hin waterfalls, with time to swim if conditions allow.

“We had Sav as our private guide, and she showed us so many animals—she really knows her wildlife. We had a genuinely lovely and relaxed trip with her 🙂 The only thing to be aware of is that transportation to Khao Sok can be a bit tricky.”
