This way of operating has resulted in many successful herping tours we have done over the years.
Thailand has so much to offer with its great diversity of herpetofauna, you do not want to miss this. And we will go the extra mile to get the most out of your trip.

Our tours in Thailand suitable for kids
Introducing your children to the wild, especially the biodiverse jungles like in Thailand, is extremely valuable. The excitement of walking in the dense jungle amongst huge fairytale-like, strangler fig trees, hearing all the jungle sounds, seeing gibbons swinging around like acrobats, massive colourful hornbills flying over your head sounding like a steam engine, and stepping their feet in the huge footprints of an elephant, or standing next to a big pile of elephant dung, is something that all kids should experience at least once in their life. They will have good memories about that for many years after.
All the tours listed on this page are suitable for families with children. These are generally private tours, so it will be just your family, which allows our guides to adapt the itinerary fully to the abilities of the kids. To be honest, anyway most tours are typically not physically challenging in a way that the average child would not be able to follow along. Not rarely we see the parents struggling more than their kids, haha. But of course if they are very young, cutting a hike a bit shorter might be a wise option, unless you have a backpack to carry your kids. Also, starting the day a bit later, or finishing a bit earlier is no problem if you think the days are too long.
We would specifically recommend Khao Yai national park for families with children, due to the wide variety of tour activities ranging from the usual jungle hikes and game drives, to options like night safari drives, bat caves, and waterfalls. Not all parks have such a wide range of options. Besides that, Khao Yai national park has from our extensive experience always been the most consistent in wildlife sightings.
We have had kids on our tours of all ages. Sometimes even babies of just a couple months old. It is all possible.
Click the following buttons to explore our tour packages, watch our video, or continue reading, below.
Why our tours for kids?
Every child should get the opportunity in their life to discover nature. It will be more likely they will make the right choices in the future to protect the environment if they have experienced it themselves.
Also for our guides it is great fun to do tours with kids and see the wonder in their eyes when showing the amazing beauty of nature. Our guides have a lot of experience in finding wildlife and know the nature reserves very well. That will all benefit the success of your trip, and the fun you and your family will have.
Check each tour package page for more details.
What are the available tour activities in Thailand?
None of our tours are specifically advertised as tours for kids. The tours are private tours and therefore can be adapted to suit your family.
There are a variety of tours on offer with different focus. Some are just general wildlife watching, other trips have a specific focus on birds, or herpetofauna.
For more details on the activities included in each of these tours, please, click the tour package to learn more.
Where are the tours taking place?
We offer tour packages in a variety of destinations that are suitable for families with children. As mentioned earlier, Khao Yai national park is probably the most highly recommended, especially for younger kids due to the large variety of tour activities available in that area. The elephant watching safari in Kui buri national park is another fun and easy-going trip with high success rates, which can be enjoyed by all ages.
When is the best time for tours in Thailand?
We offer tours all year round. Each season is different but worth it. Some parks may close during certain months of the year. More details about that can be found on each tour package web page.
We have no specific recommendation for families in regards of the best time of year.
How much does a tour cost?
