Tree Tops Safari

Home > Adventure tours > Tree Tops Safari

This unique tour is suitable for everyone with a taste for adventure. Khao Sok National Park is part of the largest nature reserve in southern Thailand. Tree Tops offers travellers a rare opportunity to experience a virgin tropical rainforest environment. The tree houses, nestling high above in the jungle and the raft houses, moored on the lake reservoir in the middle of the park offer an ideal nature retreat.

Accommodation at Tree Tops is an adventure in itself. The bungalows, suspended in the jungle canopy, are basic but comfortable with private toilet and Thai style shower. Wake in the morning with the whooping sounds of gibbons and the hooting of hornbills. The lake is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Limestone mountains honeycombed with caves rise from its surface, like a science fiction movie set. This tour is designed to introduce the visitor to a tropical rainforest and hopefully some of its animal inhabitants.
