Fun, unique day trip! - We really enjoyed this excursion! The cave itself is a temple/is inside a temple, so make sure you dress appropriately (ladies knees and shoulders covered). They will provide sarongs to cover up if you are not prepared. And wear good/grippy shoes for the caves. The caves were definitely cool, tons of bats and some big spiders, but most of the stalagtites/stalagmites are dead from human touch. The kayaking was a lot of fun and also a lot of work in the dry season! We had to work hard as the current wasn't too strong. Definitely bring a dry bag or plan to leave everything in the van as several people flipped and there was some fun splashing to keep cool. And the guides were fantastic. Knowledgeable, fun, and made sure to take some photos of us adventurers on the river.

Excellent - Trip was wonderful. The team was very polite and carring preparing for the kayak. A tourist lost her phone in the river. The guys spent more than a half an hour to look for it . It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. They finally found it. It was amazing not just because they found it but because they did it on they own free will! We were informed in advance not to take our valuables during the kayak.

Great fun - Well organised and safe tour, the caving involved a small amount of crawling/ twisting so not good for people without fair mobility. Kayaking great a few tricky bits a few on our tour fell in but great fun would recommend as a great way to see the area.

Fantastic. - Fantastic experience, even better than we’d hoped. Jen was the perfect guide to visit the caves and go kayaking with. He’s easily the best guide we’ve had out of 6 tours so far! The caves are incredible - pictures cannot represent just how expansive they are. Following up with kayaking felt like a perfectly balanced day.

The Caving was good, not... - The Caving was good, not great. There are some Buddha statues in the cave which was kind of neat. Other than that, nothing too unique about the cave. Note that the women were not allowed in with short shorts (which was not communicated ahead of time), but they did have pieces of cloth to tie around as a skirt for no additional charge. There are a few crawl spaces, so you'll want to be relatively mobile. Lunch was pretty good, pad Thai. The kayaking was really good! It was a good blend of gorgeous scenery and some rapids every now and then. It was lots of fun! In the communication prior to the tour, they said to bring dry clothes for afterwards, but when we got to the end of the kayaking tour, they said to change behind an abandoned building, so there weren't any changing rooms. There are changing rooms available prior to the kayaking though.

The cave tour has many... - The cave tour has many small spaces so if claustrophobic be cautious. But I did enjoy it. The instructor gave way too many instructions for kayaking that actually scared some of my friends who didn’t want to go then. And the biking was said to be 7 miles and tired out to be 13 miles. We were told there would be trucks to pick us up if we got too tired but that never happened. And the bikes were not in good shape which made the 13 miles terrible. But all the Thai guides were friendly and fun and knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t think the biking is for beginners like it says not the kayaking really. Maybe some E-bikes would be a good investment. The kayaking was better by far because there was a lot of support on the river. I did love the idea of the whole thing but just a few tweeks and it could be better. The communication was amazing. They were very flexible. The food was awesome. We did overall have a good time. At least 75% of my group did.
