The experience

You start with a safety briefing, then ride an ATV through scenic trails that pass rubber plantations, jungle paths, and local countryside. The ride is guided, so you follow the group through challenging terrain while taking in the natural surroundings and having time to capture photos with the other riders.

After the ATV section, you transfer to the river tubing site and float down a natural river on the current. The water is calm enough to relax into. You drift along soaking in the atmosphere and the fresh water before climbing out to dry off.

Thai lunch waits by the river in a nature-based setting, where you eat and unwind before the drive back to your hotel. The whole experience runs about four hours from pickup to drop-off. ATV safety equipment and tubing gear, including a life jacket, are provided, and basic accident insurance is included in the price.

What is the ATV ride like for someone who has never ridden before?

The ATV section is a guided 30-minute ride through jungle paths and rubber plantations, with a safety briefing before you start. The trails include challenging terrain, but the experience is designed for guests looking for an enjoyable outdoor activity rather than expert-level riding, and the guide leads the group through the route.

Is hotel pickup included, or do I need to arrange my own transport?

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included in the booking, so you do not need to arrange separate transport. Public transportation options are available nearby if you prefer to meet at the starting point instead.

What happens during the river tubing part?

You float down a natural river on the current, drifting along the gentle water and taking in the peaceful scenery. The tubing equipment and safety gear are provided, and the float is a relaxing break between the ATV ride and lunch.

What kind of lunch is served, and when do you eat?

A Thai lunch is served by the river after the tubing activity, in a nature-based setting where you can unwind and reflect on the morning before heading back to your hotel.

Are there age or fitness requirements for this activity?

The activity suits all physical fitness levels. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or during pregnancy. Specialized infant seats are available if you are traveling with very young children.
