Combine river rush with off-road tracks on a full-day tour from Phuket to Ton Pariwat. Expect 5 km of class II–III rapids, an ATV loop through forest trails, a jungle walk to a waterfall, and a temple cave visit.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start before sunrise on a coastal highway that slides away from Phuket and into the green ribs of Phang Nga. The shuttle negotiates rice paddies and roadside temples, then climbs into the forested hills of Ton Pariwat where the air smells of wet earth and mountain herbs. By mid-morning the river is in view — brown water that dares you to move faster — and guides brief you on safety before launching a 5 km run of class II–III rapids that froth against limestone banks.
