    Awesome day trip!!!!!

    I just got back from the White Water Rafting and Monkey Cave tour from Phuket and seriously, it was one of the best days I've ever had here! The rafting was super fun, not too scary, just the right amount of splashes and laughs. Our guide was great, made us feel totally safe and kept the good vibes going. And the Monkey Cave? So cool! Got to see lots of monkeys up close and the temple inside was really interesting. Everything was so well organized, from the pick-up to drop-off. The staff were all super friendly and made the whole day easy and enjoyable. If you're looking for an adventure that's a bit different and a lot of fun, you HAVE to do this tour! Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your amazing experience. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a fun and safe adventure with the White-Water Rafting and Monkey Cave tour. Your high recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in the future. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team

    Unethical elephant centre - even if you only booked rafting and quad bikes.

    Unethical elephant activities sadly are an integral part of this package - we didn’t know this when booking (elephants weren’t mentioned anywhere in the viator description) and would never have booked or gone if we’d been aware, but the quad bike centre doubles as an elephant riding place and so we had to sit around and watch other tourists ride on chained and bloodied animals that were routinely beaten to make them comply. Other that that, the rafting was brief and not real rafting and there was a lot of sitting around.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are deeply sorry and concerned to hear about your experience regarding the elephant activities associated with the tour. At Oh Hoo Travel, we take animal welfare very seriously, and we sincerely regret that this information was not clearly communicated in the tour description. We will urgently review the content on Viator and our partnerships with local operators to ensure full transparency and to avoid including any activities that do not align with ethical standards. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the rafting and the waiting times, and we’ll work with our team to improve the quality and pacing of this experience. Please accept our sincere apologies for the distress caused. Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope you might consider giving us the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future. Best regards, Oh Hoo Travel

    Not worth the long waiting/ driving times

    The white water rafting itself is amazing, but not really worth the drive. We got picked up at 6:30 from our Hotel and our first stop wasn't until 10! The monkey cave was nice to see but definitely not worth a visit on its own. Oh and some people couldn't even go in because they didn't wear appropriate clothes, but the tour guide didn't care at all. After another hour of driving we finally reached the place for the rafting. But we had to wait another hour to finally go into the boat. On the water, we had a lot of fun, but there were more than 100 boats on a small river so don't expect anything close to a private experience. The rafting itself took around one hour, which in our opinion did not make up for the hours of wait and drive. The waterfall at the end was disappointing aswell, because we got drivin right to the pint of the waterfall, so no walk in the jungle and we got less than 30 minutes to spend there. The views were stunning but definitely not the most amazing I've seen. After that, we had to wait... AGAIN! The ATV-Tour wasn't as described at the same time as the waterfall walk but instead afterwards so everyone else had to wait in the sun, without water or anyone from the crew to talk to. After a long day we just wanted to get home but again it was a 3½ hour drive to our hostel. All in all not worth loosing a whole day of your holiday here.

    Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.

    How much does Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at ฿1,282 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.

    Is Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 40 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Phuket?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Phuket?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Phuket?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Phuket: White-Water Rafting and Monkey Temple Small-Group Tour?
