★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 253 reviews · 10 hours · from $54 a head Our pick

Spend a full day traveling from Phuket to Khao Lak for calm bamboo rafting, a turtle conservation visit, lunch, a monkey cave, and Tonsai Waterfall. Add a 15 or 30-minute jungle ATV ride for extra action. Guides such as Hana, Hanan, and Molly are praised for warm, helpful service, but the van journey can take several hours each way.

“We had a great experience on this tour. We visited a turtle conservation center, which was lovely, then enjoyed a bamboo rafting ride that was very exciting. After that, we did an ATV ride, which was fun and well organized, and finished the day visiting the Monkey Cave, where we saw plenty of monkeys up close. Everything was well timed and easy, and it never felt rushed. Our guide was genuinely lovely, very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. A great mix of nature, adventure, and local experiences. I would definitely recommend this tour.”

10.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.”
