White Water Rafting Tours & Day Trips from Phuket

Phuket White Water Rafting tours has been voted as one of Phuket's best day tours and great adventure sports, especially in the rainy season from May to October.

We enjoyed a fantastic day out at Tone Pariwat Sanctuary Station in Phang Nga Province. A beautiful place covered with lush vegetation and wildlife.

This is not just your ordinary white water rafting tour, it's more like an adventure tour.

Our day started out when we were picked up from our hotel, from here we headed north on a scenic drive to Phang Nga Province.

On route, the first stop of this tour takes you to Wat Suwan Kuha Temple, commonly known as the “Reclining Buddha Cave Temple” or “Monkey Cave Temple”.

As the name suggests, throughout the grounds of the Temple, you will come across an abundance of monkeys and inside the cave, is a large golden reclining Buddha.

After our visit to the temple we were taken to the white water river camp, were our guides greeted us and lead us down to the river bank.

Once there we were given our life jackets and helmets and most importantly our safety instructions we were off.

The stream is quiet narrow with a few boulders and has class 2 and 3 rapids, all in all a fantastic experience.

This white water rafting tour in Phang Nga is pretty tame, compared to the white water rafting tour we went on in the Tully River in Australia.

But you will still need to be prepared to get wet, so leave your valuables and anything you don't want to get wet in the lockers that are provided.

When we had completed the whitewater rafting we were provided with a beautifully prepared lunch. After lunch we went ziplining through the jungle, and visited a waterfall for around half an hour before the drive back to Phuket.

White water rafting is much sportier than bamboo rafting; but you will still be able to admire the natural surrounds during this eco-friendly adventure.

If your looking for a bit of adventure, and would like to see some sights in Phang Nga Province, this white water rafting tour combines several exciting activities, including a visit to the Monkey Cave, ziplining, and a scenic jungle walk.

If your feeling a little more adventurous you can also opt to go for an ATV ride.
