About this tour
When Charlie from our team ran this White Water Rafting and Waterfall Tour out of Krabi, we spent a full day bouncing down the Song Phreak River in Phang Nga province — 5km of genuine rapids mixed with jungle walks, temple visits, and a waterfall swim. It's the kind of tour that stacks a lot in: you're tackling white water in the morning, clambering through forest to Tone Pariwat waterfall by mid-day, squeezing in a flying fox zip-line, and catching the famous Monkey Cave Temple. The region feels properly tropical and remote despite being a short transfer from town. Around 7–8 hours total, it's a solid full-day adventure for anyone who doesn't mind getting wet and tired.
Highlights
- 5km of genuine white water rapids with proper adrenaline hits
- Monkey Cave Temple visit — atmospheric and genuinely monkey-filled
- Jungle trek to Tone Pariwat waterfall with swimming break
- 150m flying fox zip-line through the canopy
- Thai set lunch and fresh fruit included mid-tour
- Life jackets and safety kit provided — not an afterthought
- Small minimum group size keeps the chaos manageable
What to expect
You'll be picked up early from Ao Nang or surrounding areas and driven into Phang Nga province. The rafting section comes first — 5km of genuine rapids on the Song Phreak River where the guide will teach you proper paddle technique before you hit the water. It's not extreme, but there's enough current to keep you engaged and wet. Between rapids, the river calms and you'll spot the jungle closing in: limestone cliffs, dense green, birdsong.
After rafting, you'll hike into the forest to Tone Pariwat waterfall — a proper jungle walk, not a stroll — and get time to swim and cool off. The flying fox comes next: a 150m zip-line that's more fun than scary. Then you'll visit Suwankuha Temple (the Monkey Cave), which is exactly what it sounds like: a cave temple packed with monkeys. Lunch is a Thai set served partway through, and the whole day wraps by late afternoon. You'll be exhausted but satisfied.

Good to know
This tour genuinely delivers value — you're getting multiple activities (rafting, hiking, temple, zip-line) in one day, plus meals and transfers. The jungle is real and the rafting has actual current; it's not a theme-park version. Life jackets and safety kit are solid. It suits anyone from moderate fitness upwards; you don't need to be athletic, just willing.
The tour isn't recommended if you're pregnant, have spinal issues, high blood pressure, or poor cardiovascular health — and that's worth taking seriously, not as a scare tactic. It's a full, tiring day of physical activity. The jungle walk is muddy and slippery after rain. Transfers from Khlong Muang, Nong Thale, or Krabi Town incur an extra 200 THB per person, so clarify your pickup location upfront. Minimum group size is 4 people; if numbers drop, the tour may be cancelled (they'll offer alternatives or refund). Early start and late finish means you'll lose most of a day. Tip for guides isn't included.
