Full description
This is a 10-hour experience from Chiang Mai, built around Mae Taeng River and Mae Taeng District. It is run by 8Adventures, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers UL coastguard-approved life jackets, CE EN certified helmets, CPR and first aid-certified guides and staff, Transport in an air-conditioned minivan from hotels in and Travel accident insurance. It does not cover Personal expenses and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Chiang Mai. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with 8Adventures before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
This was amazing!!! From ATV rides to white water rafting! Everyone that was helping us from start to finish were amazing as well! Our tour guide on the water were fantastic, Definitely worth it!
Fantastic experience. ATV n rafting as a family activity, safety is my biggest concern. 8Adventures did such a good job that I am able to enjoy myself fully as I know my teenagers are in good hand. We are all properly gear up for the ATV ride . Very scenic view when we reach the mountain top. Pre ride/rafting safety briefing is well delivered. Lots of safety officers station by the river bank ever ready to jump in to assist. Totally worth the trip and would recommend to go with 8Adventures .
Really enjoyable. The ATV ride took us to an incredible view point that I will never forget.
Felt really safe the whole time Fun guides Great day would really recommend
Well organised. ATV was challenging / technical and fun in equal balance. White water rafting was fun , had to deal with the high levels of water due to recent rains Lunch could be a little more interesting particularly the soup which was poor.
amazing I wish the kayak rapids were better and faster but you have to pick the right season, the ATV was so cool and so fun absolutely loved it, highly recommend
Great experience! Very well organized adventure with numerous safety precautions in place to help participants feel safe. During the ATV ride, we were taken up to a remote village on top of a mountain, a place that one would never think of visiting alone!
To be very honest this activity overpassed my expectations. In this family called 8Adventure is more than an agency, is a group of friendly and playful team. We had an amazing adventure with them in the ATV track which was 40km long and very intensive and fun. After that we had a 10km rafting experience where we’ve met a very skilful persons who knew how to cheer us up and made us have a great time with them. I recommend them by all means.
Everything was awesome! I loved every guide. They cared about us, our safety, our fun and entertainment. They all had a great sense of humor and made the already awesome experience that much better!
I recently went on an ATV and rafting tour with 8Adventures, and it was amazing! The whole experience was exciting and so much fun. The staff were really friendly and professional, and you could tell they really cared about keeping us safe throughout the tour. They gave us all the safety gear we needed, which definitely helped us feel secure. While we were out there, we noticed other companies doing similar activities but without proper safety equipment, which made us even more thankful we chose 8Adventures. They also treated us to a delicious lunch, and there were nice hot showers available,
I’ve whitewater rafted in the U.S. (where I’m from) a few times… I felt the instruction was more thorough and I felt more safe with the instructors and guides from 8 Adventures. This was my first time four wheeling and it was phenomenal. Cruising through puddles in the rain. Slinging mud everywhere. Seeing the jungle countryside and elephant sanctuary (baby elephants as well!) Just a great experience I would suggest everyone to try. If I had more time in Thailand, I would go several times over! Super grateful to 8 Adventures and their guides/instructors/staff for the experience! I know I’m usi
Amazing adventure. Well organised. The team were wonderful and fun.
