What you can expect

Escape the city and enjoy a fun half-day exploring Chiang Mai’s beautiful Mae Taeng region. Drift along a gentle jungle river on a relaxing tubing adventure and choose between two unique experiences: a refreshing waterfall slide or an ethical elephant visit.

After pickup from your accommodation in Chiang Mai, travel in air-conditioned comfort to our riverside base camp. Change into swimwear, store your belongings, enjoy a welcome drink, and receive a short safety briefing from our friendly local guides.

Begin your river tubing adventure and float along a calm section of the Mae Taeng River. Take in views of lush forest scenery and pass the famous Elephant Nature Park area. No experience is needed — just sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment.

Continue your adventure with your chosen option:

Option 1: River Tubing & Waterfall Slide

Walk to a natural jungle waterfall hidden between smooth rock formations. Cool off in crystal-clear pools and enjoy our unique waterfall slide — a safe and fun highlight for all ages. Afterwards, return to base camp for a warm shower, snacks, and time to relax before heading back to Chiang Mai.

Please note: This option does not include an elephant visit.

Option 2: River Tubing & Elephant Visit (Ethical & Community-Run)

Visit one of two community-run elephant sanctuaries — Care for Elephants or Sunshine for Elephants. Learn about their stories, support ethical, non-riding practices, and observe elephants living naturally in their forest environment.

Please note: This option does not include the waterfall slide.

Our Commitment to Nature

We care about the environment and local communities. We use refillable water stations, reduce single-use plastic, support local jobs, and help with waste-sorting education in Mae Taeng. Your visit directly supports community-based eco-tourism.

Note: No affiliation with Elephant Nature Park.
Our river route only passes along its boundary — we do not enter.
Elephant sightings aren’t guaranteed.
