What to expect

With hotel pick-up from Khao Lak included, your day begins with a journey into a lesser-known area near Takuapa, where you'll explore a hidden banyan tree forest. You'll canoe beneath the wide canopy of towering banyan trees, moving at an easy pace through still waters. The route continues into a nipa palm forest along the Klong Sung Nae River, where you'll hear the calls of local birds.

After time on the water, you'll travel to Takuapa old town by local Thai taxi, known as a songteaw. This small historic town offers a glimpse into everyday life and traditions that have changed little over the past century. As you walk, you'll see period-style buildings, small coffee shops and reminders of the town's past, including the old tin mines and factories that operated here until the 1920s. A local lunch is included as part of the experience, allowing you to pause and enjoy the surroundings before heading back.

This private tour from Khao Lak brings together nature, local history and relaxed sightseeing in one experience.
