From Phuket: Bamboo Rafting, ATV Ride with Elephant Trekking & Bathing Experience

Heading to Phuket? Leave the planning behind and jump into a fantastic full-day adventure that includes seamless hotel transfers while you explore the island's stunning landscapes. Throughout the day, your knowledgeable English or Chinese-speaking guide will ensure a seamless and informative experience.

See Thailand's natural wonders

The main activity is bamboo rafting through the Phang Nga jungle. You'll sit on a simple raft made of bamboo poles tied together, floating down a calm river surrounded by trees and plants. It's a peaceful way to see the jungle, though you might get a bit wet. Your next stop is at Sea Turtle Conservation Centre, where you'll see the inspiring rehabilitation of injured turtles and newly hatched young.

After the rafting, rev up an ATV and speed along rugged trails that promise excitement and a bit of dirt! If you prefer a more serene experience, go on an elephant trekking expedition to get up close with these gentle giants. You'll have the chance to bond with them, bathe them as you trek through the jungle for 30 minutes.

See a cave temple

Next, visit Wat Suwan Kuha, also known as the Monkey Cave Temple. This unique Buddhist site is renowned for its impressive golden Buddha statue nestled within the cave. The temple has historical significance, having been visited by various Thai royalty over the years. Inside, you can find inscriptions that commemorate these visits. After exploring the temple, continue your adventure with a trip to a nearby waterfall. This picturesque spot invites you to take a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters, providing the perfect way to cool off after an action-packed day.

Finally, treat yourself to a delightful lunch at a local eatery, capping off a day rich in adventure, culture, and natural beauty.
