Phuket Day Trip: 5.5 km Rafting, Zipline & ATV with Suvankhuha Temple
A single-day adventure from Phuket combining a 5.5 km white-water run with a rainforest ATV, zipline thrills and a cave temple visit. Expect splashy rapids, limestone caverns and muddy trails — all packed into a practical, action-oriented day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe water shoes
Shoes with good grip protect feet on wet rocks and in the raft; sandals are not advised.
Use a dry bag
Keep phones, wallets and cameras dry during rafting and river-side stops.
Hydrate and bring electrolytes
Tropical heat and activity deplete fluids quickly — carry a refillable bottle.
Respect wildlife
Do not feed monkeys at Suvankhuha Temple; they can become aggressive and disrupt local ecosystems.

Conservation Note
Avoid feeding wildlife and stick to trails to reduce erosion; choose operators that follow waste management and limit off-trail vehicle use.
Suvankhuha Temple occupies a limestone cave used as a Buddhist shrine — its reclining Buddha reflects local temple-building traditions within natural caverns.

Operators typically enforce age and weight restrictions for safety; expect minimum ages for rafting/zipline and upper weight limits for harnesses and ATVs — confirm when booking.
What if it rains?
Rain can make trails muddy and increase river flow; operators may proceed in light rain but strong monsoon conditions can alter plans — check cancellation policies and bring waterproof layers.
