Wir waren als Paar bei der Khao Lak Dschungeltour dabei. Der Preis für 2 Personen war abnormal hoch, so ungefähr 120 oder nochmehr €. Ich meine, da war ein Besuch bei der Aufzuchtfarm von Schildkröten, ein Elefantenreiten, Schwimmen am Strand im Naturschutzgebiet, eine Floßfahrt und die Fahrt im Bus inklusive. In Thailand habe ich eigentlich ein niedriegeres Preisniveau erwartet. Was genervt hat war: "Wenn ihr wollt, dann könnt ihr ja noch ein Tip (Trinkgeld) geben!" kam nach jedem Event vom Begleiter. Warum der Begleiter dabei war konnte ich auch nicht so ganz verstehen. Der Busfahrer hätte ausgereicht oder Busfahrer = Guide wäre natürlich auch nicht verkehrt.Buchung war über das Hotel bei Thomas Cook/ Neckermann. Vielleicht rührte auch daher der hohe Preis, aber von der Durchführung und Aufdringlichkeit bzgl. Trinkgeld war ich wirklich genervt. Das muss doch nun wirklich nicht sein im Entspannungsurlaub.Schade war, dass wir dann doch nicht mit den Elefanten baden waren, sonder nur so darauf gesessen hatten.

Wow- I was picked up from PATONG at 615 am. It was a 3 hr car ride and I am so grateful that they offered to pick me up!We promptly left at 9am to go to the islands (which took about an hour). They provide sea sickness pills, breakfast and coffee and tea before also so don't be nervous about the ride!The guide and staff are really friendly and funny. They offered us refreshments and multiple snacks every single time we went back to the boat.I was skeptical about the lunch after seeing other reviews but LUNCH WAS DELICIOUS, and there was plenty!!! And then some.I was really impressed. I used a different and expensive company for the phi phi islands (3600 baht) but I felt like I got the same amount of service and had just as much fun with this company and only paid $2600. I think it's more expensive when you live in phuket rather than Khao lak. WORTH ITMy ride back was also great, I got to talk to the driver about my travels and his life.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Wir hatten mehrere Ausflüge über die Land Discovery gebucht. Alle waren Top! Die Mitarbeiter sprechen sowohl Deutsch als auch Englisch. Die Touren sind Preiswert und gut geführt. Allesamt ein Erlebnis.Das Büro befindet sich im Zentrum von Khao Lak. Ich würde empfehlen direkt im Büro zu buchen. Man wird gut und ehrlich beraten.Abgesehen von den geführten Touren, bietet die Land Discovery auch ein "Phuket do it yourself! an. Für ein guten Preis bekommt man hier ein privaten Minibus mit Fahrer und kann diesem eine Route vorgeben mit Sehenswürdigkeiten welche man sich anschauen möchte. Eine individuelle Phuket Tour so zu sagen.Wenn wir wieder in Khao Lak sind, wenden wir uns wieder an die Land Discovery!

We booked this trip through Kuoni. The Canoe and Elephant trek were brilliant. But we felt that the added extras to the day were not very good. We were taken to a hot springs where our guide took ages agreeing the price and before our elephant trek we were taken to a monkey temple and were told we could pay 20 bahts to feed bananas to them. But were warned to be careful as the monkeys carried the HIV virus and not to let the monkeys bite or sratch you! We were amazed to be told this and frankly don't think this is somewhere tourists should be taken to. Put this aside the canoe and elephant trek was an amazing experience and something will will remember as part of our honeymoon to Thailand.

Hotel pick-up was bang on time and it took about 20 minutes from the south of Khao Lak to reach the jetty. Our guide gave a detailed briefing in german (majority of guests spoke this) and a less detailed one in english. I think he just missed out the cheesy jokes, but all the relevant information was there. Seasickness pills were provided. Then it was off to the boats, via a large bucket where we were asked to leave our shoes. So, don't bother about what to wear on your feet, as the answer is flippers or nothing.Water was offered throughout the trip and all snorkel gear was provided, plus there were life jackets available for less confident swimmers. One negative - I reckon with a couple of people less in the group the boat journey would have been a lot more comfortable. We spent a rather cramped hour zipping over the waves to our first stop, where we climbed Sail Rock - a bit tricky with nothing on your feet. If you have mobility problems or suffer from vertigo, enjoy a swim from the white sand beach. This wasn't a scheduled snorkel stop but there were still fish to observe.Then it was on to our first snorkel stop - imagine spending 45 glorious minutes with your head in an aquarium. Magic. The sun is strong so make sure you slap on the waterproof sunblock or even better, wear a t-shirt when you're in the water.We then moved on to our third stop where we had lunch (average at best) and hung around for an hour waiting to go to the next snorkel stop. But hey, the beach is pretty and there are plenty of shady trees. It was nice to chill in the cool Andaman breeze.The second snorkel stop was amazing, not least because a green sea turtle decided to join us. There were even more fish than at the first stop, and though there were a couple of other boats there when we arrived, they moved off and we had the place to ourselves for about 45 minutes. An hour passed very quickly and then it was time to head for home.So, bring yourself, swimming gear, a towel, a t-shirt, high factor sunscreen, your camera and a smile, plus water. We were offered water regularly on the boat but it's still worth bringing extra.
