The Khao Lak tour was absolutely stunning! Interacting with elephants and monkeys, swimming in a waterfall, and rafting down a tropical river... We were so lucky with our guide! Alina is very sincere and loves Phuket and elephants, and she conveyed that love to us through her attitude and stories! We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the tour and not worry about photos or videos, because Alina made every effort to capture us at every location! We were very pleased.

Today we went on a tour of Khao Lak Waterfalls. We visited the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, located in a breathtaking cave. It's the most beautiful and unusual Buddhist temple I've ever visited! The temple grounds are filled with friendly monkeys, which my 8-year-old was thrilled about! Then we went rafting through the jungle on a calm river. My son was even able to steer the raft himself, and he was thrilled. Lunch was like New Year's Eve! Swimming with elephants, a circus performance by Arbuzinka, a magnificent waterfall in the jungle... I didn't expect the tour to be so wonderful! This is our third tour with Treasure Island this vacation. And all the tours were with the charming Alina, who my son absolutely loved! He only wanted to go if Alina was his guide. Alina is your diamond! Value and treasure such employees. Educated, well-read, experienced, and passionate about what she does, she's a joy to listen to. Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed the elephant tour to Khao Lak with guide Ilya. We went rafting, interacted with the elephants, and the Arbuzinka show was amazing! We also had a fantastic seafood lunch, enjoyed the monkeys at the cave temple, and enjoyed watching and listening to bats. The waterfall was a lovely finale; we cooled off perfectly and took lots of photos. I highly recommend this tour!

On August 12, 2026, we went on the Khao Lak Comfort tour with Andrey. Two adults and an 8-year-old child. We absolutely loved it! We were met by a luxurious, comfortable minivan. The driver was wonderful, friendly, and attentive. Andrey was also very attentive, and he even brought us some water. It was very interesting with Andrey. It's nice when a guide is knowledgeable and genuinely interested in the topic, rather than just "driving tourists around." The drive to the first stop was an hour and 40 minutes, but we didn't even sleep despite the early start. Andrey was very knowledgeable and gave us engaging stories. The tour was also interesting and well-paced, so you have time to enjoy it. The cave, stalactites, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, monkeys, cheerful and cute elephants, a waterfall, and they even let us steer the raft. The lunch was simply gorgeous; we were surprised; it was delicious and atmospheric. And our fellow travelers were also cheerful; we had a great time! Andrey pointed out interesting things we otherwise would have missed: local coffee (strong and delicious), local liqueur, which also appeared just in time 😅, and a magical pharmacy with good prices. Despite the long journey, we weren't tired at all and had a great time. The main criterion was that our child was very happy; we had a lot of impressions. Thank you ❤️.

On August 7th, we went on a tour to Khao Lak, the waterfalls and nature of Thailand. Our guide was Ilya, who immersed us in the history of Thailand. He's a very knowledgeable and wonderful guy who knows a lot about Thailand and the lives of Thais. He didn't rush us or rush us. We saw many beautiful sights. A short bamboo rafting trip immersed us in a state of serenity and silence. We were truly impressed by the waterfall! The power of nature, the freshness, the coolness—incredibly cool! Swimming with elephants was a special kind of pleasure! And the seafood lunch was delicious, filling, and varied. Thank you for a wonderful day, thank you to the driver for a calm and safe ride, and a special thank you to Ilya! We had a wonderful time!

Today we went on the "Khao Lak Comfort" tour with guide Ilya. It was absolutely fascinating! We learned about the history of Thailand's development: all 10 King Ramas and their reigns, visited a beautiful temple, fed monkeys, swam with elephants, took amazing photos at a waterfall. The experience was simply amazing! We were in a great mood! We enjoyed the wild nature 🔥🙉🌴🦣

Today (August 7, 2026) we went on the Khao Lak Comfort tour. Our guide was Ilya. He is a very friendly, knowledgeable, and caring guide. The tour itself was very picturesque. A lot of emotions, especially from the elephants. I recommend it.

On July 24, 2026, we went on this wonderful excursion. Our guide was the wonderful Vera! The trip flew by: Vera spoke so captivatingly about the life and traditions of Thailand and was happy to answer all our questions. It was raining that day, so we didn't see any monkeys at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha—they were hiding. But this didn't upset me at all, because the main focus was the elephants. The emotions from interacting with these amazing animals are simply indescribable—everyone needs to experience it! Both my teenagers and I enjoyed the excursion. I definitely recommend this trip to everyone, regardless of age. Thanks to the "Ostrov Treasures" company for the excellent organization, to the driver for a comfortable and smooth ride, and to Vera for a wealth of interesting information!

Good afternoon! Today we went on the "Khao Lak, Waterfall, and Elephants" tour from Treasure Island with Dmitry! He's a true professional. He talked about Phuket's history, culture, and nature the entire way, making it all very interesting and engaging! I'd also like to point out that Dmitry is a great photographer; he took so many amazing photos and videos for us, for which we are very grateful! I highly recommend this tour! Thanks again to Dmitry and Treasure Island!
