Ride & Raft

4.9(70 reviews)

Tucked away in Nong Thale on the outskirts of Krabi town, Ride & Raft offers guided adventure tours that pair ATV riding through rural terrain with white-water rafting, giving visitors a way to experience the region's jungle landscapes and waterways beyond the typical beach itinerary. The combination format appeals to travellers looking for a more active, land-based counterpoint to Krabi's famous coastal attractions. Guests can expect a hands-on outdoor experience led by local guides, with the tour designed to be accessible to those without prior experience in either activity. The Nong Thale setting puts participants among green hills and natural scenery that is representative of inland Krabi, away from the more crowded tourist centres near Ao Nang and Railay. The operation runs seven days a week from 09:00 to 17:00, making it straightforward to slot into a Krabi itinerary on any day of the week. Prospective visitors are advised to check the Ride & Raft website directly for current pricing, available tour slots, and booking options, as advance reservation is recommended to secure a preferred time. Wearing clothes that can get wet and dirty is sensible, and closed-toe shoes are generally advisable for ATV activities. The tours are best suited to those comfortable with moderate physical activity outdoors.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
