I booked one day in advance and the staff were quick to confirm and arrange pick-up and drop-off. The driver arrived on time. Overall, the guide provided good care, and I got to do all the activities and received all the photos. It was a very fun trip! Convenient and worth the price. 👍

This was the best experience of our three-day vacation in Thailand. We had so much fun with a lot of exciting activities 🪂,water jumping. Our day started early at 6:20 AM. First, we headed to Bali Hai Pier, where everything was well organized and the guides were incredibly helpful. From there, we took a boat to enjoy the parachute 🪂 and water activities. After that, we visited Tien Beach an isolated island with soft white sand and clear blue water. We did paddle boating and clear kayaking, and even had individual photo shoots 🛶. There were plenty of amazing drone photos and videos taken during kayaking and paddle boating. We had lunch at a beachside restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious. After lunch, we spent some more time enjoying the beautiful water. The trip wrapped up around 3:30 PM, and we were back at the hotel around 7:00 PM. The driving was super smooth, and the guides were super cool. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and the highlight of our trip.

There are many service personnel, so you don't need to worry about whether you can swim or not, because you won't get your clothes wet at all. The only downside is that the experience time is too short. I really wish it could be longer. The entire experience, from start to finish, only takes about twenty minutes, which includes the boat ride from the shore to the sea platform, putting on the equipment, and then starting the flight. After the flight, the shop will ask you to buy photos, but you can choose not to.

This experience was absolutely worth the price. At first, I was a bit skeptical worried that not much would be included or that we’d only get to try a few of the activities advertised. I also had some concerns about being upsold on extra water sports. But once we arrived, all those worries quickly disappeared. Everything was included, and every single activity was genuinely fun especially the Crazy Sofa, which totally stood out. It was nothing like a banana boat in the best way possible: faster, wilder, and way more thrilling!

I was welcomed warmly and the location was great. The equipment was very easy to use, and safety was clearly a priority. Nothing to complain about, it was my first time on a jet ski and the instructor explained everything clearly. Friendly staff 🙏🏾. My only regret is that I should have used the drone 😕. Otherwise, it was perfect.

If you geniunely want to interact with the elephants in their habitat please go here and support their sanctuary. They rescue and house elephants around Thailand. I hope they receive more support. We availed the feeding program with transfer. We can say the van tansfer feels like a celebrity hahaha While waiting they alse had free snacks coffee etc. We had feeding and paper making from elephant poop which is by the way odorless. Kuya (the guide) also is friendly, accommodating and speaks good english. Love this out of all tours!

The most memorable part of my 5-day trip to Pattaya. Right after booking, they even told me the search terms for Bolt and Grab when catching a taxi. There was attention to detail. It would have been nice if they had told me in advance that my legs could get burned by the steam when the engine cools down as the bike goes into the water, but it was still the most fun. They spoke English well too. I brought a change of clothes, but it didn't get as dirty as I thought it would.

Tips before visiting Pattaya

1. Explore different beaches

Pattaya Beach can be crowded, so you may want to visit quieter places like Jomtien Beach or Naklua. These areas offer cleaner water, calmer vibes, and better spots for swimming or relaxing.

2. Be mindful of nightlife areas

Walking Street is famous but can be overwhelming, especially for families. It’s safe to visit, but it’s best to know what to expect. If you prefer a calmer evening, try beachside restaurants or night markets instead.

3. Dress respectfully at temples

When visiting places like the Sanctuary of Truth or the Big Buddha Temple, make sure to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. This shows respect for local culture and helps you enter all areas without issues.

4. Plan your transportation

Pattaya has many ways to get around, like songthaews (shared taxis), motorbike taxis, and ride-hailing apps. Before you go out, check prices or use an app to avoid paying more than you should. This will make your trip smoother and easier.
