An exciting day of adventure! - We had a great day with the 8 Adventure Team. The quad bikes were something new to me and the guides were fantastic at helping me get to grips with it. We loved driving through the jungle and river and then up into the mountains. It was wonderful to see elephants pass us as they walked in between the camps in their sanctuaries and the views from the top breathtaking. The lunch provided is a great meal and quite substantial. The kayaking was truly the highlight of our day. The guides again were phenomenal, the experience was exhilarating and we were in good safe hands at every point during the day. At the end there is a wonderful hot shower to wash off the day and get changed into clean clothes before traveling back to the hotel. Thanks for an amazing experience. Top Tip - pay the extra on the day for the photos, they are worth every penny!

Ziplining / ATV / Rafting adventure - We had a great day with 8adventures! Excellent organisation, everyone was super friendly (from our driver, to everyone who guided us on the activities), and we highly recommend going for any of the adventures available.

Best adventure around! - We absolutely loved this adventure! My husband and I are both around 60 and are not super athletic, but we do enjoy adventure. This was a great day! Pick up from hotel, information about our trip on the way there, and then we took off on our 4-wheelers on one of the most beautiful mountains we have ever seen! All the way to the top to a village that overlooked the area. It was breathtaking. After some water and exploring around the village, we headed back down the mountain and had a wonderful Thai lunch. After our rest we jumped into inflatable kayaks, each with our own private guide. The river was quite challenging. But our guides were wonderful. The rafting itself was not physically exhausting. And the view once again left us awed. We literally kayaked by two elephants washing themselves in the river! We had never kayaked that challenging course before and found it a blast. I must admit, at one point my guide and I (yes it was my fault) flipped our kayak. We were the only ones to do so that day. I followed the safety instructions they had showed us and had no trouble at all. After a few minutes, we were back in our kayak and going again. This adventure is not for the faint of heart but at no point did we feel afraid and unsafe. We highly recommended this day trip!!!

Fun, but lots of room for improvement - All around fun experience, there were just some logistical and planning things that would have made it better….We had to wait a really long time for two people during pick up and then also had to stop for them to go to an ATM, so we ended up late to the introduction at the camp and therefore felt very rushed getting to our first activity. We rafted first, which was a lot of fun but then we had nearly two hours of down time to sit around after lunch while we waited for others to complete their activities so we could do our afternoon activity of ATVing. They said they would divide everyone by experience but that didn't seem to happen…..we ended up spending most of our ride waiting for the other people in our group. Once, even on steep incline which was extremely uncomfortable as well as difficult and another time for a solid 5 minutes. If people aren't comfortable enough to keep up with the lead, then they really shouldn't be on trails like that. We did end with sunset at the Elephant Nature Park which was cool but again, could have been a lot better if the ride wasn't so disorganized and disjointed. They do also have people taking pictures and said that the photographer didn't follow us off the property for ATVing, but later saw pictures posted on their social media where people clearly were out on trails and at the Nature Park. Seemed a bit odd….Overall, we'd probably give it another shot but would communicate upfront about avoiding these issues.
