Frequently Asked Questions

What packages are available for the white water rafting tour from Phuket?

All packages include the Suwankuha Monkey Temple visit, riverside lunch, elephant show, zipline flying fox and waterfall stop. All prices are per person — there is no separate child price.

Where does the white water rafting take place?

The rafting takes place at Phang Nga Rafting Camp, approximately 80 km north of Phuket — about 1.5 hours by road from central Phuket. The 5 km river course is rated Level II-III, making it suitable for beginners and families while still providing genuine rapids and excitement. The river flows through lush jungle scenery typical of Phang Nga province.

What time does the white water rafting tour depart and return?

Hotel pickup is between 07:00 and 08:30 depending on your hotel location. The tour returns to Phuket with hotel drop-off by 17:00. It is a full day out — approximately 9-10 hours including transfers to and from Phang Nga.

What is included in all white water rafting packages?

All eight packages include: hotel transfer round-trip from the free zone, all rafting equipment and safety gear, stop at Suwankuha Monkey Cave Temple, riverside lunch with fresh fruits, tea and coffee, elephant show, zipline flying fox, relaxation at waterfall, injury insurance, and English-speaking guide. Add-on activities (ATV, elephant trekking, elephant bathing) are included depending on the package chosen.

What are the age restrictions for the white water rafting tour?

Minimum age for white water rafting is 8 years old. Minimum age to drive the ATV is 12 years old — children aged 8-11 can join packages that include the ATV but cannot drive it themselves. Pregnant women are not allowed on the tour. There is no upper age limit stated, but participants should be in reasonable health for the physical activity involved.

What is the Suwankuha Monkey Cave Temple stop?

Suwankuha Temple (also called the Monkey Cave Temple) is a Buddhist cave temple in Phang Nga province, famous for the large troop of macaque monkeys that live around the entrance. The tour stops here on the way to the rafting camp so guests can watch and feed the monkeys and view the impressive cave shrine with its large reclining Buddha. It is included in all eight packages at no extra charge.

Which hotel areas have free transfer and what are the charges for other areas?

Three transfer tiers apply. FREE (round-trip, included): Patong, Karon, Kata, Ao Po, Bang Tao, Boat Lagoon, Kamala, Laguna, Layan, Mai Khao, Nai Yang, Phuket Town, Royal Phuket Marina, Surin, Tri Trang. ฿100 PER PERSON (cash on tour day): Chalong, Rawai. ฿200 PER PERSON (cash on tour day): Cape Panwa, Koh Siray, Nai Harn, Nai Thon. Note: unlike most adventure tours based on the west coast, the rafting tour's free zone includes the northern and east-coast areas (Ao Po, Layan, Mai Khao, Nai Yang) while charging for the southern areas (Chalong, Rawai, Nai Harn) — this reflects the northern direction of travel to Phang Nga.

How do I choose the right package?

If you want a pure water adventure, choose Rafting only (฿1,100). If you want maximum variety in one day, the full combo (฿2,000) includes all four activities. For families with children aged 8-11 who cannot drive the ATV, the Rafting + Elephant Trekking + Elephant Bathing package (฿1,700) is the best all-round option. If you prefer land activities, the Rafting + ATV combo (฿1,400) is popular with adrenaline seekers. Note that the ATV requires a minimum driving age of 12; younger guests can still join ATV-inclusive packages but will not drive.
