This day-trip combines the best white water rafting in southern Thailand with, optionally, the best ATV (quad bike) riding as well.
The tour includes either 5km or 9km of soft white water rafting, an optional ATV ride through the jungle, an optional elephant trek, an optional waterfall visit, a Thai lunch and fresh fruit, and return trip transport from your hotel. In the rainy season the white water ride is a real thrill, whereas in the dry season it is more of a laugh, and is suitable for young children.
Several Ao Nang companies offer white water rafting, but some of them start a third of the way down the rapids. Our chosen tour operator starts from the middle (the 5km option) of the top (the 9km option).
Several Ao Nang companies offer ATV riding, but we only book tours with one of them. Usually in Thailand ATV riding is a really boring experience of riding round in circles on a small track, which quickly gets tiresome. Our chosen tour operator's ATV experience is different, it is a tour through the jungle on an ATV. The rafting and ATV centre is a 2 hour drive from Ao Nang.
