Fantastic day out, fun for everyone - We loved our day rafting with these lovely people. Everything was organised well and very professional. Picked up on time from our hotel and greeted by attentive staff. Lunch was served pretty much straight away and was very tasty indeed. Lockers are provided which is a great idea. Safety briefing was spot on and we were fitted for life jackets and helmets. Our captain, Oh, was fun and a top guy. We all got soaked and enjoyed every second. Saw elephants having a bath in the river which was amazing. We were given clean towels for a shower afterwards. Marvellous day. I would recommend it 100%.

A great adventre with 8Adventures - We liked that your trip covered us from the moment you picked us till you sent us back to our location. We took the 2-seater raft. My raft guide, Oh, was very friendly and took care of me during the journey, my thanks to him! We also noted that you take safety measures seriously, you had guys taking care of us in the river to make sure we pass the white water safely. We "met" some elephants when we were taking a short break by the river, its always special to be near to the magnificent animals! Photographers were positioned at strategic positions to capture our moments! Overall, a positive experience and would love to join you for another ride again!

Highly recommend - My friends and I did not regret choosing the rafting adventure. The only thing we regret was that we are not able to do the ATV as we are rushing back home. However, it was really worth it. The 8Adventures staffs are very kind and friendly (including the rafting captains) and lunch was awesome. Highly recommend 💯💯
