“This tour was fantastic.  The guide and driver were amazing.   The rafting was amazing and so very relaxing.  Be sure to bring swimming gear as you will get wet on the raft.  Our rafting guide stopped to allow us some time to swim in one of the deep areas.  The water was cool and felt wonderful. The sea turtle conservation center on the Naval Base was fantastic and our presenter there was excellent.  He was very knowledgeable and you could tell he loved the turtles.   Our lunch was delicious and there was so much food.  😊  Nobody left there hungry.  Standard Thai food.  The only thing I didn't devour was…”

7.Rafting 7KM & ATV visit monkey cave and waterfall with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 41 reviews · from $81 a head

Spend about nine hours outside Phuket combining Wat Suwan Kuha’s Monkey Cave, 7km whitewater rafting, lunch, a 30-minute rainforest ATV ride, ziplining, and a waterfall stop. Hotel pickup is offered from several Phuket areas. The day packs in plenty, but long transfers and rushed stops can affect the experience.

“The activities were quite good but NOT worth sitting in a van for 8 hours. The rafting was great fun and the Monkey Cave was also very good. The waterfall was barely a stream but reasonably pretty. The Zipline was fun but lasts about 7 seconds and the ATV was worthless. We followed a dirt track with no challenge for 30 minutes. Still the activities were very good. But it took us 4 hours from pickup to get there and another 4 hours back all for 3 hours of activity. The guides on the rafting were great. That made the day worthwhile.”
