About This Tour
Discover the peaceful side of Khao Sok National Park with a relaxing Khao Sok Canoeing experience along the scenic Sok River.
Sit back in a traditional canoe and let your local paddler guide you gently downstream through one of southern Thailand's most beautiful natural landscapes. As you travel along the river, enjoy views of lush tropical rainforest, towering limestone cliffs and quiet riverbanks surrounded by jungle.
No previous canoeing experience is required. Your local paddler handles the canoe, allowing you to relax, take photographs and enjoy the scenery at your own pace.
One of the highlights of this Khao Sok River Canoe experience is a peaceful riverside stop where hot water is traditionally prepared over a bamboo fire. Enjoy freshly made coffee or tea in the middle of the rainforest — a simple local experience that makes this river journey special.
Keep your eyes open along the way for tropical birds, butterflies, monkeys and other wildlife. Sightings are naturally dependent on the season and local conditions.
Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family or with friends, Sok River Canoeing is an easy-going way to experience the rainforest and see Khao Sok from the water.
