Private Tour | Erawan Falls | day tour from Bangkok
Our tours are private, meaning no others will share the transfer or the guide with you.
Kanchanaburi Province in west Thailand is home to several natural and historical sites popular among both local and foreign tourists. Erawan National Park in the province, with its famous falls, is no doubt one of the most iconic attractions in Thailand but it is also one of the most beautiful falls in entire Asia.
What?
A day-tour to Erawan Falls includes transfer from Bangkok, visiting Erawan National Park where you can hike up to all seven tiers enjoy swimming in the ponds and visiting a nearby cave. The cave may get closed if there has been heavy rain lately, in case, you will be able to visit The Bridge over River Kwai in the Kanchanaburi City instead.
Where & When?
This full day tour can be booked all year round except on long week-ends and holidays when the waterfalls get too overcrowded.
Our guide will meet you at 6:30 am in your hotel’s lobby in Bangkok. Driving time to the falls takes about 3 hours & 15 mins. After the tour you will be taken back to your hotel, with expected return time to hotel around around 7 to 8pm.
During the dry season there is not much flow of water but it will be beautiful as the water gets crystal clear.
When to book?
For the high season months from November to April, we recommend booking a few months in advance because for certain periods the guides may get fully booked. Though, for certain dates there may be guides available even when booked days/weeks before.

Great day. Picked up on time from hotel in comfortable, air conditioned van, and picked up our lovely guide in Kanchanburi. The waterfalls are incredibly beautiful and we loved being able to swim in them. The walk up to the different levels is easy enough, just hot! Saw lots of lizards and colourful butterflies. We stopped for lunch at a Riverside cafe (delicious selection of food), then had a bonus visit to the bridge over the river Kwai and a little long boat trip before heading back to Bangkok. A great day out and highly recommend.

Andy was a great tour guide! He's certainly speedy, but we were able to see a lot of stuff and he's fun along the way! Lunch was also a huge spread that we weren't able to even eat all of.

I guess you expect me to rate the trip not my review :D.
It was great though strenuous. Maybe it was great because it was strenuous. The guide was sweet, knowledgeable, friendly. Keep him :D.
The snake in the cave was okay.

Our Day trip to the Phratat Cave & Erawan Falls was surely one to remember! Everything from our Tour Guide, to the pickup and drop off service, food and experience itself were all a 10/10. Totally worth a day of exploring when in Thailand!

Everything felt very well organised and reliable, and they always replied to messages quickly. We were picked up punctually by the driver, and both the driver and our guide, Jackie, were really nice people.
The tour went very smoothly, it was fun and we had the nicest lunch at a local restaurant. Jackie made sure we had everything we wanted to eat/try out. We also received a snack and some water at the beginning of the trip.
The only con is that we needed such a long way with the car (2-3 hours each way), but it was totally worth it and the hike to see the waterfalls was amazing.

We had a wonderful trip to Erawan falls. Right from enquiry to booking up the actual trip, everything was very hassle free and prompt. Our guide Jackie was very friendly and told us about the place, showed us all the good spots on the trek and treated us to a really sumptuous local lunch (my vegetarian needs were taken care of and I was recommended some really special dishes that I enjoyed). The vehicle arranged for us was also really comfortable. Overall my family and I really enjoyed the experience and recommend this tour to anyone else who wants to witness the gorgeous beauty of Erawan falls
