Spend a full day near Chiang Mai feeding rescued elephants, swimming at a waterfall, eating Thai lunch, and rafting the Mae Wang River.

“Meeting point was close to my hotel. Everyone was friendly and welcoming from the start. Mr Suriya was our guide. We had an action packed day. It was such a humbling experience to feed and bathe with the elephants. Lunch was good with watermelon afterwards. Yummy 🤤 All the staff at the sanctuary were really happy so it shows they truly love the elephants. I did a lot of research before I booked this tour as wanted to visit an ethical place. After lunch and the elephants we learnt how to make their “protein” balls and we fed them those too. We then did the rafting and that was another…”

Alit provided all the information we needed for the day, and communicated our itinerary perfectly so we knew what to expect. We couldn’t recommend Alit enough, thankyou so much Alit for a wonderful day and experience! We had Rambo for the rafting experience who gave us the best experience whilst ensuring our safety throughout. Our quad biking guide equally provided us with the best experience -he assessed our experience with the bikes and facilitated this by taking us on certain tracks whilst ensuring…”

Review of Antalya’s $26 rafting, zipline, jeep, buggy, and quad adventure, with practical tips on mud, lunch, transport, and value.

“Rafting was a lot of fun and perfectly good for my two children 11 and 8 years old, also added buggy at the last minute and they had family buggy for 4 people which is perfect for us. one thing to note is your eyewear will get very muddy and a bottle of water would be handy to wash the mud off the glasses. Did zipline at the end which was a fun and interesting end to our tour. Last but not least, a big shout out to our guide Monty who made the whole tour so enjoyable and looked after my two young children to ensure they feel safe…”

Review of West Glacier’s half-day rafting trip on the Middle Fork, with rapids, park views, gear details, guide tips, costs, and drawbacks.

“Water was too low for white water rafting, but wasn’t told by the company that we wouldn’t be doing this excursion. The trade off was the half day river float trip that was scheduled for the next day. Since we already had that excursion scheduled for tomorrow, we canceled it and will wait for the refund.”

“My daughter and I had a great time rafting on the Cetina River. We were the only two in our boat (likely due to it being out of season) so it did feel like a private tour. We both did the optional cave part of the activity where we jumped into a cave pool (very cold!) and then made our way through a narrow part of the cave before clambering down over boulders back down to the raft. I also did the cliff jumping - in for a penny and all that!! Our guide was super chatty and took lots of photos. Just be aware that the cost of these…”
