About this activity

Experience the thrill of whitewater rafting through pristine jungle rivers in Phang Nga's Ton Pariwat Conservation Area, a half-day adventure combining genuine rapids with natural swimming holes and authentic Thai hospitality. This full immersion tour blends adrenaline with nature exploration, departing from Phuket and returning the same day.

Depart from your Phuket hotel at about 8.00am and drive across to the mainland for a scenic drive to Ton Pariwat Sanctuary Station, a beautiful place covered with gorgeous vegetation in Phang Nga Province. Arriving at about 10.30am, take some time to wander around and stretch the legs (and store any belongings in your locker) because at 11.00am everyone will assemble for a safety briefing before the whitewater rafting can commence.  

Four or five people will be assigned per raft with an experienced 'captain' to ensure you will travel down the river safely and at the same time enjoy the excitement too.  

A delicious Thai set lunch will be served at a local restaurant before hoping on a local songteow (a Thai taxi that is a Pick-Up Truck with open-air, covered back and seat along each side of the vehicle) for a 10 minute drive then a 10 minute jungle walk where you will find a waterfall where you can enjoy a quick swim in the natural pool.  

After some time at leisure to do as you wish, it is back to you vehicle for the drive back to your Phuket hotel.
