FANTASTIC DAY OF ADRENALINE AND FUN - Doing this with 8adventures was definitely a blast. The hosts and staff there were all so friendly and hospitable that it made every minute there worthwhile. We did the whitewater rafting first, unfortunately, due to the heavy rainfall during this period, we had to miss one of section due to high water levels. However, that did not affect our experience at all! Our guide on the raft was extremely funny and friendly. Being our first time doing such an activity, we felt extremely safe with the other staff who were on kayaks constantly watching out for us. This activity is slightly strenuous simply due to the paddling, but I am sure it’s still extremely doable for everyone! 5/5 - whitewater rafting We then came back to have lunch cooked for us and I must say, the food was amazing! Being so hungry from all the hard work in the raft, the fried chicken together with clear Tom yum was extremely delicious. 5/5 - lunch After lunch, we had a break before we embarked on our ATV tour. The staff were extremely helpful in getting us geared up for the adventure and the explanation prior to the activity was very clear as well, we felt really well taken care of. It was raining for our activity and raincoats were provided for us and you had the choice if you wanted to wear it or not. Despite the rain, the ATV trail was fun with some moments that were challenging! Nothing dangerous I must say if anyone who is unsure. The trail definitely gets your adrenaline pumping! We had 2 breaks during the entire session where we were allowed to enjoy the sights and sound of the Chiang Mai forest. Luckily for us, we got to see 2 cute elephants pass by us during our time there and I even managed to greet one of them. 5/5 - ATV Overall, I would definitely recommend this package to anyone seeking out some thrills and adrenaline! Thank you so much 8adventures for making this experience such a memorable one of us and we would definitely come back and do it all over again!

ATV and whitewater rafting! - What a fun day. We did the 3 hour ATV and 8 km whitewater rafting (was supposed to be 10 km but had to be changed due to the conditions). Both activities were lots of fun. The staff were always friendly and helpful with a safety first approach. Be prepared to get dirty on the ATVs (they hose you down at the end). Well worth it! They took pictures of both our activities and it was not expensive to buy them all. Highly recommended for a great day!

Excellent Day with a very professional company. - I can't compliment 8Adventures enough for making this a really good day. It's a very professional outfit, where safety is paramount. Whitewater rafting in the rainy season, meant the river was high and fast, but the staff were excellent. Safety briefings were comprehensive and numerous staff lined the rapids with throw ropes, although they weren't needed. We even had a rescue person in a kayak with us. The ATVs were of a high standard with very new safety equipment, such as full face helmets and body armour. The lunch provided was also good All the staff were very helpful through the whole day.

Giant Fun for Family and Teenagers - We did both, ATV and rafting. Already the rafting was absolutely fantastic, great nature, with the rafting through the jungle. It had been raining a lot for days. That's why there was a lot of water in the river. That’s why the team pulled the rafts out of the water two rapids ago and continued a shorter distance after that. 8Adventures makes an excellent impression, they really pay attention to safety. Also ATV was absolutely fantastic. My 14-year-old daughter went on the 3-hour tour with a guide at first. She had a lot of fun. Halfway through the route, however, she took over herself and the guide sat back. He kept showing her where to go this way. She was totally enthusiastic and also mastered the difficult parts great. The ATV route not only goes over easy hiking trails, but also has a lot to offer. But it is good for everyone to manage. We can highly recommend 8Adventures.

Whitewater and quads in Chiang Mai - 8 adventures are brilliant and the trip was 10/10. Whitewater trip was exhilarating but safe and quads were also amazing and the team were super flexible. I highly recommend these guys and this full day trip in Chiang mai. Thankyou guys !!

Perfect - I recommend wearing long sleeves and sunproof swimwear to play both events, they provide mosquito repellent and helmet so you dont need to wear a hat. I had a perfect day with my family, both event is very safe and can bring your children together

Just book, you won’t regret it! - Highlight of our Chiang Mai trip. I wasn’t sure when I booked for my husband and I because it was a short holiday and the camp is about 90mins drive from old city but it turned out to be so much fun we both agree it was our favourite part of the holiday. The team are very very experienced and we felt the safety measures were above and beyond. Having never gone white water rafting or ATV before, we were quickly taught and led by the instructors. We didn’t expect the up-close elephants throughout the day nor the spectacular view at the top of the mountain! Absolutely amazing, we will be back!

Extra Forced Charges - We paid $660.00 for the trip jfor our family- 3 adults and one chi ld as he could not ride ATV alone. But they made us pay more when we arrived saying the amount on trip advisor for a child was less hours and it is not stated on tripadvisor. Child is only 8 hours and adults 12 hours. Is that a scam!! I am reporting this to trip advisor as it not right for them to do this.
