Cheow Lan Lake Cave Trips in Khao Sok National Park

 
Join a private day trip to the caves of Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park. Our Cheow Lan Lake cave trips start from Khao Lak, Phuket or Krabi. You explore limestone caverns with a local guide, and the day includes a longtail boat ride and jungle trekking.

Cheow Lan Lake is known for its emerald-green water, dramatic limestone cliffs and rainforest-covered mountains. A private tour shows you a different side of Khao Sok. You travel by traditional longtail boat, hike through the jungle and explore hidden underground passages with an experienced local guide.

At Thai Tours, we offer trips to three different caves at the lake. Each one offers a different experience, so you can choose the day that best matches your interests and fitness level.

Private Cheow Lan Lake Cave Trips

Your adventure starts with hotel pickup if you choose our private transfer from Khao Lak, Phuket or Krabi. From there, you travel to the lake and continue by longtail boat. The boat ride is an experience in itself. Towering limestone karsts, dense rainforest and clear green water surround you, so the lake feels like one of the most spectacular landscapes in southern Thailand.

Choose Your Tour

Depending on your choice, your day may include jungle trekking, underground exploration, swimming, kayaking, a waterfall visit and lunch beside the lake.

Paka-Rang Cave / Coral Cave

Paka-Rang suits travellers who want a scenic boat trip, a short jungle trek and an underground visit in one day. First, a longtail boat takes you across the lake. Then you trek through the jungle and continue by bamboo raft. Inside, you explore about 100 meters of limestone passages and see stalactites, stalagmites and other rock formations.

Pra Kie Phet Cave

Pra Kie Phet is a good choice if you want a shorter jungle walk and plenty of time on the lake. The hike takes about 10 minutes. The cave itself is around 60 meters deep and has interesting limestone formations. In addition, this trip includes a waterfall visit, jungle hiking, lunch, swimming and kayaking.

Nam Ta Lu Cave

Nam Ta Lu is the most adventurous of our three Khao Sok trips. The trip includes about 3–4 hours of jungle hiking in total. Inside, you explore a system of more than 600 meters, and water forms part of the adventure in some sections. This tour is for travellers who enjoy hiking and active outdoor experiences.

A Private Day Trip Designed Around You

Our Cheow Lan Lake cave trips are private, so you get a more personal experience than on a large group excursion. You travel with your own group and a local Thai guide. As a result, you can enjoy the day at a comfortable pace while you explore Khao Sok National Park. The drive from Khao Lak or Krabi to the lake takes about two hours. From Phuket, the travel time depends on your hotel location.
