Fabulour trip - air conditioned bus - about 2 hours both ways but well worth the travel.

For those who have the adventure spirit in them (like us), they would enjoy the 3.5 hours one way drive. After that, we loved both parts of the trip, the elephant trekking which was outstanding, and the kayaking that was so relaxing. In between we had a great lunch Thai buffet that we loved too.

The tour was very well organised. It was a very long journey from Phuket (Kata) up to the jungle - around 3 hours each way and we weren't quite prepared for it to take that long. However the bus was comfortable and we stopped for coffee along the way. Consequently it was a full day but with 6 hours of driving!
Once we got there it was straight into the canoe, which was very relaxing and pretty amazing to be going through the jungle - and by jungle it really looked like something from a film - it was *that* perfect! The canoe trip was lots of fun.
The lunch was very good - loads of well cooked food and plenty to drink
The elephants were the real stars of the day - not only did they look really happy, they were real characters and it was the most fun to ride through the jungle on them. We had the opportunity to pet and feed them (they particularly like watermelon) at the end, which added a whole other level to the experience!
The day tour guides were a little american in their enthusiasm, and muttered a little which meant that we didn't learn what they were trying to teach us - but we'd had such a good time it didn't really matter.
I'd recommend this trip to all ages - everyone seemed to have a really enjoyable day.

We did this trip on my birthday- March 30th.
The mini bus was very modern and nice, but rather a long drive. The trip went well even in the heavy rain
Of the three tours I took while in phuket, this is the one I would have skipped. The ride was long and the attractions not so great. If you want to go elephant trecking you can do that in the Phuket area instead of driving 3 plus hours.
