Unforgettable day in the jungle!
This ATV and rafting combo was hands down one of the best things we did in Chiang Mai! The ATV quad ride was muddy, fast, and super fun, and the rafting down the river was an absolute adrenaline rush surrounded by gorgeous greenery. The entire team was professional, safety-conscious, and wildly entertaining from start to finish. Great gear, seamless transportation, and a delicious lunch included. Don't skip this if you're in northern Thailand!

An Outstanding Day Adventure – ATV & White Water Rafting Done Right
This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organized. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel by Bob and Kera, who were both fantastic. Since the drive is over an hour each way, I highly recommend booking two activities rather than just a morning or afternoon session. We did ATV riding in the morning and white water rafting in the afternoon, which made the travel time well worth it. The ATV tour was outstanding. Along the route we passed several other ATV groups, and it was obvious that our company provided much better equipment and protective gear. The terrain was varied and beautiful—riding alongside rivers, passing an elephant sanctuary, climbing a stunning mountainside, and making our way back down through incredible scenery. The guides were excellent instructors, patient teachers, and genuinely kind throughout the experience. Lunch was included and was surprisingly delicious—I cleaned my plate. The company also provided lockers and bug spray, which were thoughtful touches that made the day even easier. The white water rafting was equally impressive. I’ve rafted many times before, but these guides were true professionals. Our guide had 27 years of experience, and the safety procedures throughout the trip were exceptional. We even encountered elephants in the river, and the guides were incredibly respectful, carefully giving them space and ensuring they were not disturbed. The facilities exceeded expectations as well. The showers offered both hot and cold water, the towels smelled wonderful, and everything was clean and well maintained. One final tip: budget for the photos. The photographers captured so many great shots throughout both activities that purchasing them was an easy decision. If you’re considering this excursion, book it. It’s professionally run, safety-focused, packed with adventure, and delivered exceptional value from beginning to end. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing experience, highly recommend this outfit!
We had an amazing day with 8Adventures. Overall very professional, safe, accommodating and fun. We originally booked just white water rafting but they let us add the ATVs. We are glad we did, it was a great time. Our group had mixed experiences levels, and we had more, so they assigned us a separate guide who took us on great trails and up to the top of a hill with beautiful views. . Haioon was an excellent guide. We saw the elephants at the sanctuary across the river and some passed us on the trail. Lunch was delicious with both chicken and vegetarian options. In the afternoon we went rafting. The safety briefing was thorough. We had safely support in kayaks and from shore for the bigger rapids. Our guide Sammy was experienced and made it a lot of fun. We floated past water buffalo cooling in the river and elephants coming for a drink. Highly recommend this outfit!
Response from the operator: Hi Jen thanks a lot for your family visit and leaving us a review, all the best. 8Adventures staff

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $184 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 194 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure?
+
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 Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure?
+
Around 68 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 Chiang Mai 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 Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure 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 Chiang Mai 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 Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. 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 Chiang Mai?
+
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 Chiang Mai?
+
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.
