Brilliant, varied day out, thoroughly recommend. Title of trip doesn’t really do it justice, rafting is only a small part of the day. Our guide ‘ Nok’ was brilliant, she took us around a local market first and encouraged us to try some new foods. The the elephant sanctuary, washing the animals in the river was amazing, better than the one in Phuket. Then rafting with a coffee break, lunch and Monkey temple.

My review is over a year late lol but this was an awesome experience with my son. The guide and bus driver were amazing with amole time in many places. We bathed elephants, visited the monkey temple (meh tbh), visited a local market, hiked and rafted the river too! Had an amazing coffee drinking experience in the jungle made in bamboo over an open fire. 10/10.
Very interesting experience

What can I say about this experience… and it WAS an experience! Small group (which is always a bonus) weather fantastic and our guide for the day Run, was excellent. Food at lunch outstanding and there was plenty of water etc to drink on the way. Elephant experience was once in a lifetime, bamboo rafting was serene and safe and was brilliant just to be able to slowly take the spectacular view in our stride. As usual Viator have exceeded themselves.
Great tour

The entire day was top notch. We were picked up by Mr Mark and he took great care of us. The elephant sanctuary and bamboo rafting were unique experiences we won’t forget. Mr Mark drove us to each excursion and we never felt rushed. It was a very enjoyable day.
