Your Experience

Spend a full-day tour from Chiang Mai combining elephant feeding and bathing, jungle trekking, hidden waterfalls, and your choice of river rafting.

Getting started

Begin with round-trip hotel transfers within Chiang Mai that take you out toward the Mae Wang area. After meeting your expert guide and group, you receive a brief overview of the day and confirmation of your chosen rafting option. From here, you set off toward the elephant camp and nearby natural trails that form the heart of the experience.

What to expect

Elephant experience

This part of the day focuses on close interaction with elephants in a natural environment.

Features

  • During the elephant feeding and bathing activity, you get to interact up close, offering food and helping to wash the elephants while observing their behavior at close range.
  • Your expert guide is on hand to explain the elephant experience and support you throughout, with travel insurance in place for additional peace of mind.

Mae Wang jungle trekking and hidden waterfalls

The middle section of the day takes you into the natural landscapes around Mae Wang.

Features

  • Jungle trekking on Mae Wang trails leads you along natural rainforest paths where you can immerse yourself in the surrounding landscape.
  • The route includes waterfall sightseeing at hidden rainforest falls, where you see secluded cascades tucked inside the forest environment.
  • Lunch is included during this part of the day, along with required entrance fees, so you can focus on the jungle trekking without arranging extra logistics.

River rafting adventure

Later, you join a river adventure that depends on the option selected at booking.

Features

  • If you choose the bamboo rafting on the river option, you glide along calmer sections near Mae Wang, experiencing the water environment from a traditional bamboo raft.
  • If you select white-water rafting in Mae Taeng, you take on a more dynamic stretch of river in that area, with your guide coordinating timing and transfers within the day.
  • Throughout the rafting adventure, your guided tour service continues, and the round-trip hotel transfers within Chiang Mai ensure you return to the city once the activity concludes.
