Private Tour | Khao Sok herping tour in HQ area
Khao Sok is situated right south of Isthmus of Kra, in an area where many of Thailand's northern and southern species can be found. In south Thailand, there are few places with such a great diversity of animals like in Khao Sok. The national park is also easily accessible by public transportation from Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, Surat Thani, Ko Lanta and other towns in the area.
What?
This tour is for mainly snake enthusiasts. If you are after a regular "nature tour", you can arrange other guides from the visitor center on arrival for a very cheap price.
This day-tour in Khao Sok targets mainly reptiles and amphibians. The tour will be led by an experienced English speaking guide who is specialized in finding herps. If you are aiming to target a specific type of species, let's say only amphibians, we can inform the guide in advance for planning reasons.
Where & when?
The tour will start by foot either at the national park entrance or from your resort. No transportation will be offered. For additional cost, we can arrange taxi service from the nearby towns.
The tour will start around 6 to 6:30 pm right after your dinner and end at the park gate around 11 pm. If the guide is not booked for the next day and you are not tired, for an additional 200 Baht per hour the tour could continue longer into the night.
