Filled up our bird sighting page almost completely . Saw more alligators than I expected (even baby ones).. and my most favorite part.. going up and down the stretch of highway looking for a manatee… and we spotted one. Highlight of my day!! Book this.. I promise you won’t regret it..”

You make a rest stop right at the beginning to gather food, snacks, and medicine (lots of windy road so nausea meds recommended for those with sensitive stomachs). We got rained on heavily so was grateful to have rain jackets and your provided umbrellas. Did not plan for how COLD the peak was. So recommending a hat and/or sweater for the summit and Twin Pagodas. Overall, the Doi Inthanon National Park is GORGEOUS. The hike at the end…”
