    Review of: Afternoon Half Day Tour
    Ethical excellence
    This was by far the best experience in my whole trip (2 weeks so far around SE Asia). This place is ethical which was top of my list of requirements, the elephants seemed happy and playful. There were 4 grown females and one baby elephant. We learnt a lot about elephants, difference between African and Asian and what they do/don’t like. We fed them fruits and protein balls, took pictures/videos, bathed them and covered them in mud (good for their skin). The guys at the sanctuary showed them a lot of love and really made this an enjoyable day. And even better, the professional pictures they took were all free on their Facebook page. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for this amazing experience guys 🐘

    Review of: Doi Inthanon National Park + Trekking at a Nature Trail: One Day Tour
    Cool fresh air, picturesque surroundings, padi fields, hill temples & plunging waterfalls were surreal
    Enjoyable trip after city hustle relaxing & fun. Cool fresh air, picturesque surroundings, padi fields, hill temples & plunging waterfalls were surreal. Small group also made friends over lunch, helped by funny tour guide ‘banana’. Wonderful, unique & memorable experience.

    Review of: Full-Day Chiang Dao Kayaking, Caving, and Jungle Tour from Chiang Mai
    Fantastic day trip
    Great day. Our guide was helpful and informative. We had a fantastic time kayaking and then went on to the caves. Our guide was happy to adapt our tour to suit us. Well organised and very enjoyable! Remember to take sunscreen and a hat in the kayak, plus a cover for your shoulders when visiting the caves.

    Amazing time with a perfect team !
    Wonderful day with our guide Ek and Pim, our driver. Ek is full of joy and it’s just so pleasant to spend the day with him.

    Review of: Whitewater Rafting and ATV Adventure
    Great day, middle level rafting with great guides and good muddy ATV adventure
    We were a father and son(12 years) combination and had a fantastic day with 8Adventure. White water rafting was about a medium level difficulty and the guides were fantastic and full of personality and very safety conscious. ATV adventure was a highlight, after testing my sons competancy we headed for the mud, had plenty of dirt time and saw some elephants.

    Review of: Whitewater Rafting Adventure
    White knuckle fun
    We had such an exhilarating family activity at 8 adventure. We opted for white water rafting and it was the best fun.
    The guides were the best, kind natured, knowledgeable and above all great fun. A special mention to Sam for his witty chat☺️
    The scenery was stunning along the river with some white knuckle moments thrown in for fun.
    Thank you to the wonderful catering staff who helped us feel so welcome and prepared a delicious lunch for us.
    This family activity was one of the highlights of our trip 10 out of 10

    Review of: 6-Hour Hike and Bike in Doi Suthep Pui National Park Combo from Chiang Mai
    Top guides. Wonderful nature. Physical hiking and biking.
    Guides are entertaining and competent. Their English is the best in Thailand I heard so far.
    The hiking route goes uphill and can be hard if you are not fit. The guides will insert breaks so everyone in the group succeeds the challenge, though.
    The mountainbiking is hard as hell if you are not a beginner. But you can walk down the challenging sections.
    The "restaurant" in the heart of the jungle offers an amazing view and very delicious nuddle soups. Enjoy!

    Only Sticky waterfall Tour you need!
    This is the only Sticky waterfall Tour you will need! You really have all the time to explore this beautiful place after she guides you and shows you all the nice or difficult spots. Afterwards there is lunch in a nice restaurant with great food. 10/10 would recommend!

    Outstanding Experience. Humane Option. Comfortable and Rewarding.
    What an outstanding experience. Very well done. Everyone in our group (family with teens) enjoyed it. Very well organized. Very comfortable. Highly professional. Locals told us it is the ethical option. Proceeds go to nonprofit.
