• 1Very poor tour. Don’t waste your money.

  Very poor trip. Tour says your get information about the mangroves and wild birds and animals. Plus you get to feed the monkeys. But none of this happened. No fruit on the boat to feed the monkeys. And no guided tour. No one could speak English. The river is full of plastic left by tourists and none of the Thais seem to clean it up or care about the littering. Also, the pick up and drop off was not great either. Up and down same road three times back and forth for an hour. No planned route. Would not recommend this at all.

• 4A serene half day boating

  We had the most quiet boating experience. The place looked deserted barring another boat like ours in the entire mangrove. Marshy lands and boating, had a relaxing time. We took pictures of monkeys and sailing in the narrow streams. Only we were hoping to watch more animals and birds . Due to the rains we couldn’t enjoy a morning boating and missed out on it.

• 5Our guide was very...

  Our guide was very knoelegeable about the mangrove flora and fauna and told us about it. He was entertaining and funny. We went in small canals with the kayaks and visited a monkey family.

• 2Disappointing

  A disappointing tour. The kayaking took about 90 mins with a guide that spoke no English and must have been about 10 years old! The full trip, however, took well over 4 hrs because of endless waiting around for various groups to assemble and total lack of organisation. The one wildlife attraction of the tour was finding some monkeys, only to discover that the guides feed them deliberately (chocolate bars! Must do a lot of damage to the animals), so the monkeys are always in that one spot. Note, some water and a few slices of fruit are provided at the end but none in advance, so bring your own water - you’ll need it in the baking sun.
