Review of Chiang Mai’s full-day jungle trek, waterfall slide, river tubing, lunch, transport, and elephant sightings for $81.20.
“We had an awesome experience with Bang and his team while tubing down the river. The day started with an awesome trek to a secluded waterfall with Nine. We then went tubing down the river and got to see elephants in ENP! Lastly the waterfall slide was great and my husband loved it. Would recommend to anyone looking to experience elephants of Chiang Mai in an ethical way. Get to experience these giants through observation with no unethical interactions. Awesome experience!”

Review of Chiang Mai’s 2-day Mae Win jungle trek, with Karen village homestay, waterfalls, campfire, practical tips, and fitness advice.
“I highly recommend! You really need to have some hiking experience and be in good shape, it’s not an easy trek. The nature is absolutely stunning, and our guides showed us many plants and their uses. We saw amazing animals and insects, the food was delicious, the locals were incredibly kind, and the camp had a breathtaking view, having coffee there in the morning was unforgettable :) Definitely the best experience I had in Thailand!”
Trek through Chiang Mai jungle, slide down a waterfall, tube the Mae Taeng River, and stay overnight at a friendly eco camp.
“This was amazing!! Being picked up at your hotel, starting the day with a hike through the jungle which led out to a waterfall, going tubing, elephant feeding and doing a waterfall slide, to end the day near the bonfire with a home cooked meal. The scenery is beautiful, and the guides do everything to show you the beauty and essence of the surroundings.”

Spend a day as a Chiang Mai mahout, caring for rescued elephants, eating local food, and visiting Mae Wang Waterfall.
“Authentic and natural. Beautiful experience,.calmly organised and well kept”
