Full Day Trip
Khao Lak Discovery

Little Amazon Adventure

Canoeing, Local Markets and Waterfall Scenery

Travel into the atmospheric waterways of Takua Pa’s Little Amazon, where ancient banyan trees create a natural canopy over calm jungle channels. Continue to a local market, explore the historic streets of Takua Pa Old Town and finish the day at Sai Rung Waterfall.

Overview

Known locally for its dense vegetation and enormous banyan roots, the Little Amazon offers one of the most atmospheric canoeing experiences near Khao Lak.

A local paddler guides the canoe along narrow waterways while you watch for birds, reptiles and monkeys among the trees. Unlike open-water kayaking, the experience is slow and peaceful.

The tour also introduces you to the daily life and history of Takua Pa through its market and old town before ending at Sai Rung Waterfall.
