About this experience
If you looking for a tropical rainforest experience. Join us for trekking in the Khao Phra Taew National Park, right in the heart of Phuket. Half-day hiking or full-day hiking, both options are available for a unique trekking adventure. The Khao Phra Taew National Park harbors a stunning tropical rainforest with varied wildlife and 2 lovely waterfalls. The park is largely ignored by tourism, the hiking trails are often almost overgrown by dense jungle, but our professional guides will lead you smoothly through Phuket’s largest rainforest sanctuary, far beyond the public access area of the park. While hiking in this evergreen forest in the heart of Phuket, you might spot a rare Gibbon ape, as this dense jungle is the last natural sanctuary for Gibbons on Thailand’s biggest island. Enjoy the convenience of round-trip hotel transfers for easy travel throughout the tour. This small-group tour is capped at 12 travelers
