Let's start with our wonderful guide, Victoria. She's a wonderful and pleasant person, and the time flew by with her. The tour itself was incredibly fulfilling – we ate delicious food, experienced a wide range of emotions, and laughed a lot. We were absolutely delighted!

Yesterday we went on a fantastic tour, "Tales of Khao Lak." 😍 Super guide Ilya and the entire team were very attentive throughout the entire tour, and it was perfectly organized! The tour program was packed, with all the interesting locations, and we especially loved the elephants – a complete delight! It was incredibly close and up-close with these wonderful animals. 🐘 It was fantastic that in addition to visiting all the locations, Ilya also shared stories about the history of Thailand and the country's unique way of life. Even though this wasn't my first time in Thailand, I learned so many interesting things about this country. Thanks to Treasure Island and our guide Ilya for such a wonderful day! ♥️

July 5, 2026: Khao Lak Fairytale. The tour was interesting and action-packed. The itinerary was well-planned, the sunrise was stunning, and the boat cruise around the bay was truly impressive. We slept on rafts and enjoyed a cute elephant show. Swimming in a waterfall was refreshing and invigorating. We loved the seafood lunch, especially the tom yum. We had a fantastic time and amazing photos. Katya is an amazing guide and storyteller! Throughout the entire tour, she shared informative facts about Phuket, its customs, and ways of seeing the world. I really enjoyed it))) Thank you, Katya! We had a great time!

We want to express our sincere gratitude to Alina! For her attentiveness, communication skills, fascinating information, and the history of the island and Phuket. A special thank you for watching the sunrise—it was breathtaking. We were very impressed by the sweet elephants and swimming with them, the waterfalls filled with water and the beautiful colors of nature, and the rafting and boating! These experiences will remain in our memory forever! We will definitely return to this country whenever possible! We wish you more tourists. Alina, you are a true professional and a brilliant woman 👍

I really enjoyed it)) I'll start with what I wrote the night before, and by 4 a.m. I was already on the tour. The service was top-notch. The program was full and varied. Our guide, Ilya, led the tour. I was alone, and Ilya took some really beautiful photos. Without unnecessary fluff or boring facts, he told me a very interesting story about the royal family and many other historical facts about Thailand. Thank you very much, I will recommend it to everyone.

I went on the "Tales of Koa Lak" tour with Alina and was absolutely delighted! The program was rich and varied: sunrise on the bridge, the boat ride was very calm and enjoyable. Riding and swimming with the elephants was a special experience; the emotions were off the charts! A kiss from an elephant was a delight. The lunch was simply wonderful! Everything was delicious! I received a bamboo cup as a gift, which was a very nice touch! Alina is a wonderful guide: she told me lots of stories about Thailand along the way! As a bonus, I received beautiful photos from Alina! Thank you to Treasure Island for this wonderful experience!

Katya and I went on a sunrise excursion today. It was one of the best excursions I've ever been on, and the content was fantastic: longtail boats, elephant rides, rafting, and a waterfall. The price was reasonable for such an excursion. We especially loved our guide, who was very attentive. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
