We had such a good time on this tour it was one of the highlights of our entire trip! The operation is nicely organized and very well run, the facilities were great, and our guides were fun, helpful, and made us feel safe for our first time white water rafting. We also had a wonderful surprise when ATVing where we got to pull over and spend some time watching elephants in some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. You definitely won't regret this one

Thrilling adventure

Great fun with very professional staff and controlled risks during the activities (ATV and rafting).

Well oiled machine

Wilbert_V, Jul 2023
The team there was extremely professional and the operations were run well. We had a great time on both adventures, the lunch was very good, and the guides were all knowledgeable and fun. We really appreciated the shower facilities—it was nice to get clean before the ride back to town. We will definitely be back again!

Professional, safe and fun

Everything was truly perfect. The views on the trail…seeing the elephants. The excitement rafting. Both were a very thrilling but the staff was REALLY knowledgeable so I felt totally safe and cared for. It was the perfect day-long activity. Would 10/10 recommend and do again!

Once in a lifetime adventure

Michelle_G, May 2022
My husband and I debated this adventure for a while, not sure if it would be worth the money, spoiler alert- it was. We had the most amazing time seeing beautiful Thailand through a new lens. It was my first time ATV’ing and whitewater rafting. Both were extremely fun! I felt comfortable and confident the entire time thanks to the staff leading the excursions. They were both professional and a blast to be around. I can’t recommend it enough!

A Great Day of White Water Rafting and ATVing

Rose_B, Apr 2022
We had so much fun. 8adventures became our home for the day. We had our own guides each on the kayaks for the white water and so we were expertly taken through the level 4 rapids. Then we got the chance to shower and change before lunch. The second portion of the day we rode ATVs and we even passed the elephant park.

Thanks for coming out with us for the day, all the best
