This four-hour hike was a really memorable experience! We hiked 6 km through dense jungle terrain, learning about the native plants and animals along the way. Our guide spoke excellent English and kept us safe. Please note, there is some steep climbing and tons of unsure footing. Participants should be reasonably athletic! We ended up at a swimming hole with a beautiful waterfall. We were also taken to a local restaurant for lunch afterwards. All in all, would definitely recommend!
Thank you April for joining the hike and for writing such a nice review about it. So nice to read this. It is good indeed to mention that this is not a walk in the park. A few steep slopes, rocky stretches and fallen tress to get over or under. All of this adds to the hiking fun in a gorgeous and protected rainforest. Thanks also for the recommendation!
Challenging but beautiful hike in the jungle. However, not without sneakers with profile.
Thank you Aleksander for joining our rainforest hike in the heart of Phuket, and for taking the time to review it. It is good advice that you give. Shoes are important. The trail is rocky and sometimes you have to climb over fallen trees. We hope to welcome you again
Yes, this is a must do, if you’re into hiking! The swim at the waterfalls (end of hike) was crisp and amazing!!
Great to read this Denise, thank you very much for joining and for the review. Your title says it all. The waterfalls are ideal to rinse off the sweat. Thanks for the recommendation
They dont have good organization i always went to hike before and this is the worst experience I’ve had. The stuff are not friendly and rude. They will make you pay extra for other things.
Hi Essa, you did not join the activity. You booked for 3 people, but none of you showed up. Our driver waited 15 minutes at your hotel, while reception staff and our office tried to contact you, without success. Around 11.00 am of the same morning, you suddenly contact us again, telling us you lost your phone temporarily. You wanted your money back, and you threatened us with writing a bad review. It is a pity that you handled the situation like this. We offered you to join another day, which you declined.
Great hike through the rainforest🌿🌴💦🌺. Unfortunately, we have seen only a few animals. But otherwise it was nice. Good organization, nice guides, pleasant fellow travelers.
Thank you very much for joining our hike and for taking the time to review it. The rainforest is superb indeed. For wildlife you need a bit of luck of course, some days we see a lot, other days not. We hope to welcome you again!
Nice shortish walk in the jungle which takes about 3 hours. Basic fitness required. The guides provide good information on local plant and insect life and you get the opportunity to swim in some fresh streams/ponds with amazing waterfalls.
Thank you very much Glenn for joining our jungle hike and for taking the time to review it. You give a very good description of what people can expect. We hope to welcome you again!
Don't do that. We do mountain hiking in Europe, have booked through TUI with the recommendation “trekking sandals are enough”. Tour guide at a crazy pace on “because” marked as actually closed up. The developed and signposted official path was deliberately bypassed. They dropped out for safety reasons and were returned via the official route.
Sorry that it turned out to be a disappointing experience. But you and your partner gave up after only 5 minutes on the trail. We brought you by van to the 2nd waterfall at the end of the hike. You did not even do the easy 10-minute walk from the parking to that waterfall. We brought you to a cafe to enjoy a drink with a view, you got the lunch, but you still wanted a refund. We understand that this hike is not for everyone, but this does not mean we have to pay a refund to anyone showing up completely unfit for this activity.
Worth the whole trip. Certain endurance is beneficial. It always happens before the traveler drops off halfway. Good footwear only recommended. Hiking boots have proven themselves to bring from Germany. Great guide. Very beautiful nature. Swimming at waterfalls.
Thank you very much Meik for joining our hike and for taking the time to review it. The information you share is very useful for others interested in this hike. We hope to welcome you again on your next Phuket visit!
Got picked up at the hotel , the guides where good and I enjoyed the food provided . The jungle trek was great the terrain plants and trees where pleasant, The trek was a challenge at times you have to pay attention to your footing and balance and go at your own pace and drink plenty water. Only down side was some people on the trek just talking to much and scaring off the wildlife.
Thank you very much Steven for joining our jungle hike and taking the time to review it. The route is challenging indeed, but still accessible to anyone with an more or less average fitness level. People should not talk too much indeed during the hike. Thanks for the remark, our guides will request the participants to not scaring off the wildlife.
Salahedine was a very Nice guide. The hiking was amazing. We saw a lot of cool animals. The group was also not too big which made it easier to hike in a good pace.
Thank you very much for joining and reviewing our jungle hike in the green lung of Phuket. We always keep our groups small, the maximum is 12 pax in one group. We will pass your compliments to our guide. Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you again one, maybe on the bike next time
