Świetna organizacja raftingu - wszystko odbyło się o czasie, czuliśmy się bezpieczni i zaopiekowani przez całą profesjonalną ekipę, choć niejednokrotnie trochę się baliśmy. Okazało się, że mieliśmy do czynienia z ludźmi, którzy znają się na tym co robią. To po prostu fachowcy w swojej branży! Bardzo polecamy firmę, która dała nam możliwość przeżycia niesamowitych wrażeń. Na pewno polecimy to znajomym, którzy wybierają się do Tajlandii.

This is a thrilling (and safe) activity for any traveler! We really enjoyed our time here, had fun, saw elephants on the river, and felt safe with our guides. It was clear the guides knew exactly what they were doing and how to keep everyone safe, but they made jokes and played around with us the entire ride as well. The lunch served after was also really good. I highly recommend this to everyone.

It was such an amazing activity. Extremely professional and polite team that took really good care of me. I was a bit nervous but Eric spoke to me at length before hand and on the activity day K. Sak made me very comfortable. From there on my captain Taa and his team Nadia and Lok made sure had an truly memorable experience. Highly recommend this trip and 8 Adventures team.
