Small-Group Jungle Hiking Excursion in Khao Phra Teaw Park

2.Small-Group Jungle Hiking Excursion in Khao Phra Teaw Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 118 reviews · from $78

Set out from Phuket at 9 a.m. for a guided hike from Ton Sai Waterfall through Khao Phra Teaw’s rainforest to Bang Pae Waterfall. Expect rocky, sometimes slippery trails, stream crossings, jungle plants and small wildlife, plus a chance to swim and a local Thai lunch. The walk takes about three to four hours, so bring proper shoes and swimwear.

“Beautiful nature and scenery with a great and knowledgeable local guide, Bina. Walked 6 km in 4 hours surrounded by dense vegetation and wildlife. The journey began at Ton Sai waterfall and culminated with a refreshing bath at Bang Pae waterfall. A few 10-minute stops were made along the way. Exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone with some degree of physical fitness and an appreciation of the beauty nature has to offer.”
