We booked a Class 4 rafting tour that was supposed to cover 10 km, but the day before our trip, we were informed that the river was too high. Instead, they suggested an 8 km tour. The rafting experience was at a Class 2-3 level, which was decent, but those expecting a Class 4 or higher experience might be disappointed. However, the pickup at our hotel, the facilities, and the overall service were outstanding! If you haven't tried white water rafting yet, this is the activity for you in Chiang Mai!
Fantastic experience....

First off, the most excellent communication from this company before the tour even began! Everything was crystal clear as far as expectations and the game plan. Also, everything was very timely. The safety and care that the crew take is outstanding, and there are always rescue people within sight. Lots of easy to understand safety briefings and solid safety equipment. Best rafting ever with an added bonus of seeing elephants along the river! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Fun and Worth it!!

My friends and I didn't regret choosing this rafting adventure. The only thing we regret is that we didn't have time for ATV as we rushing back. The 8Adventures workers (including the rafting captain) are very kind and friendly. Highly recommend 8Adventures because of the people there and the activities that they have. Worth it!!
