A luxury tour conducted by a highly acclaimed, high-quality tour company. We are not a budget operator but specialise in small group numbers and early departures to avoid crowds. Allow us to pamper you on your jungle trip.
Time to get off the well-beaten tourist path and experience breathaking rural scenery on the Simba Jungle trip to the stunning Khao Sok National Park, including the epic Cheowlan Lake, and a first-class elephant sanctuary experience.
We're the first to offer guests a 2-day, 1-night trip from Phuket to Cheowlan Lake, in the heart of Khaosok National Park.
You'll see when you cross the Sarasin Bridge off Phuket Island that the roads are quiet, there are few tourists, the scenery is beautiful, the mountains are full of lush, green forest, and the air is fresh. What are you waiting for?!
It's a couple of long days, but the lake and surrounds are worth it! We break the trip up with activities/stops on both the journey to the lake and the return to Phuket.
