Why 8Adventures is Perfect for Families
Families want the right mix of safety and adventure in Chiang Mai. At 8Adventures, we’ve created special family-friendly routes, including rafting trips where we avoid the biggest rapids in high water but still give you the thrill of floating through the jungle. Our trekking tours are short enough for kids and include swimming at a waterfall and learning about fascinating insects, plants, and wildlife.
