This was a perfect first multi-day hike for our family. We are gearing up to do some larger ones with our teen. This gave us the perfect amount of support as we started by assessing our levels. The hike itself had beautiful outlooks and interesting things to be learnt at each stop.
It was well organized, lots of different activities, biking, cooking, temples, etc. Days were busy but I was expecting that. It matched the infos on the website. Our guide was simply amazing. We discovered a great country. It was my second tour with this company, certainly not my last.
Culturally enriching tour with many interesting diverse activities. It was wonderful to be in the rural areas and to see how the people live in the little villages. Thailand has a fascinating history and this tour provided very good insight. Thai people are very welcoming, humble and kind. A good level of fitness is necessary to enjoy the trekking experience.
We had a fabulous couple of weeks in Thailand with Explore. The tour visited most of the places we had hoped to go to independently but cut out all the stress of trying to organise it. There was enough unstructured free time to do a few little tours of our own. Our tour guide Super Jeff was fantastic and the whole group were really sad to say goodbye to him at the end. Lots of fun opportunities to travel on or jump into water. Other members of group were interesting and fun. Lots of great food. The two night train trips were surprisingly comfortable and easy. My family loved the Thai boxing morning. Good mix of culture, adventure, beach. The only disappointment was the day boat trip to Ang Thong marine reserve - very busy and touristy, long time on big boat, food not great and the snorkelling was almost non-existent. We wished we'd taken the day off on our own to spend more time on the beach or take a proper snorkelling tour.
This was our first group tour. Loved the small size and excursions. Puna made our trip special. She really took care of us and was so knowledgeable. Thank you Puna!
