Adult children in nature’s water park - We had so much fun and the guides were hilarious! Got to jump in a water fall, and slide on the rocks. Lunch was delicious and plenty was provided (Though not a buffet). And rafting was as you could expect - mad fun. A once-in-your life day and I’d recommend a 1000 times.

Good times! - We had a great time on the kayak raft and the guides were all wonderful! They were so sweet and funny, always tried to make sure everyone felt included (we were with family who didn't speak any english). They had an abundance of pad thai and fruits for us after rafting and before we climbed up to the sticky waterfall. It was bit of a rough climb but we felt safe with the guides. Slide was quick but fun! I didnt know how to swim so one of them offered to catch me at the bottom 😆❤ Had a good time and would recommend it for anyone!

A blast! - Amazing experience! Picked up on time, drove to the staging area which had bathrooms and lockers (for thing to not get wet). Then to put in. The guides were funny, playful, and informative. "Tom" was so funny and quite the naturist. Saw a bunch of elephants. Then we had a great meal back at the staging area (which doubled as takeout). Then we went to the waterfall and leared about local flora/fauna. 10/10! Would recommend that patrons be at least moderately fit.

The water level was low,... - The water level was low, so the rapids were only class 2 and 3 not quite what I was expecting but the guides still did their best to make it enjoyable and fun day.

Great time on the river and good laughs - An absolute blast. Brilliant.felt safe at all times but also exhilarating. The waterfalls were a great added bonus. although a tip would be to wear light footwear up to the falls.

Fun way to spend the day in Chiangmai! - Our driver and main guide Tom was friendly and funny! His English was excellent and his experience(15years) showed as he was very professional and knowledgeable. He picked us up from our hotel, stopped a couple more time for additional passengers, and then we got to the main base camp in about an hour. After a thorough safety briefing, we were off into the river in our rafts. The experience was exciting and fun. Each boat had another guide and ours was Bank. He was super nice and a pro at steering the raft. The rapids were fun but I wish there were more as we had a great time! After the rafting, we had lunch of fruit, pad thai noodles, and drinks(water, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate). Then we enjoyed some time hiking to a few waterfalls from the top of which you could slide down. That was very enjoyable as well! Overall a great experience and the guides, especially Tom, made it a great way to spend the day in Chiangmai! Khob khun jaow!

Great experience and price! - Great experience, funny and friendly guides at a fair price and they don't charge for the pictures. Also saw some elephants along the way. Low water during winter months so rapids were not as high as summer/rainy months. The food was ok. Maybe the only area of improvement.
