It’s the perfect way to end a day of adventure, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.

“Fun tour with lots of adventure! - Great tour. We paid for an hour of ATV and it was well worth it if you are an ATV rider. They have a small zip line before you get into the rapids. Don’t waste your money going further than 5K, it gets pretty jammed up with people and the rapids are better in the first half. Afterwards you go to a lovely waterfall with cliff jumping and a lot of fish. Very beautiful. They finish with a trip to the cave temple and feeding wild monkeys. You only get a half hour so plan accordingly. The included lunch was good - fried chicken, onion rings and rice. The trip from patong takes about two hours. They give you a small snack box with water and cake but I recommend bringing your own snacks. You also get a locker at the rafting park for all your belongings. Bring sunscreen!” - Reviewed on 2024-04-20
