Must-Do! - This is world class rafting and ATV operator. We have 2 teenage kids and they have been down the Mae Taeng River more than 5 times with 8 Adventures. They have also been down class III/IV rapids in California and Colorado so we have some perspective to compare. First, the 10 km section of river is awesome. Lots of moving water, good rapids and fun thrills. The scenery and nature are outstanding. And the whole operation runs with precision and safety. We often get the question - this is Thailand: is it safe? And the answer is, 8 Adventures is not Thailand. They are a world class operator: the safety standards, the staff training, the equipment maintenance. We know our kids are in good hands. You will enjoy and your kids will love it! It’s a must-do on any trip to Chiang Mai.

Whitewater family fun - Our whitewater rafting adventure was simply amazing. We went with our family and felt safe the whole time. The guides went through all of the safety guidelines and expectations throughout our day. The food was great and it was a bonus that we could purchase pictures of our rafting fun that the photographer took (500thb). Highly recommend!

Super fun and smooth experience! - First of all the rafting was incredibly fun, and the safety was top notch! The guides were also great, and they made sure everyone was having a good time. It’s a bit pricey, but so worth it! Everything from transfer to safety briefing to rafting to lunch etc. ran like a well oiled machine, and we were never waiting for anything or anyone. Would highly recommend!

Awesome experience - The experience was awesome. Was allowed to jump out of the raft and swim with elephants in the river. Also thrilling falling out of the raft when going down the rapids too!

Great Rafting experience - Well organised and very professional. We were picked up from our airbnb and driven for about 1 1/2 hours where there was coffee / tea and a safety briefing. The rafting was good fun with some decent white water but also some calm bits where you could swim if you wanted. The boat captains were very good and friendly with lots of safety cover on hand. After there were showers and lunch. Would definitely recommend.

Technically challenging river, complete with elephants - It was January so water levels were on the low side, but that accentuated the technical characteristics of the rapids. Some pretty good wave trains and quite a few class 3 and 4 rapids, in quick succession. Less floating and rowing required than in rivers I’ve run in California. Plus we saw elephants 😀. Safety was emphasized, with two kayaks following six boats. Overall it was a fun experience.

Thrilling rafting experience - The whitewater adventure with 8Adventures was amazing: very well organized and fun from start to finish. We did the 10km route (that includes the most intense rapids) and we’d recommend this option to anyone who isn’t afraid of swimming and likes a bit of a thrill. The team that was supervising the rafting was extremely professional and took safety seriously. In addition to the required information session, throughout the rafting we were guided by a skilled captain who would give us simple commands on when to row and when to get down and hold on. At all times, we were followed by trained professionals in kayaks ready to fish anyone out who’s fallen in the water. The rafting itself was super fun! The adrenaline of it all and the unforgettable experience of floating through the beautiful jungle. Great activity to do as a family, as a couple or with friends. Oh, and they’ll take pictures for you! Finally, in terms of logistical details, everything from prompt pick up to free cocoa to a plentiful lunch with fruit was super well thought out. Highly recommend!
