Chiang Mai Half-Day Adventure: River Tubing & Waterfall

Description

Looking for an off-the-beaten-path eco-adventure in Chiang Mai? Join us for a half-day experience that blends nature, fun, and community.


Our tour begins in the scenic Mae Taeng Valley, where you’ll float gently down the river on a tubing journey surrounded by jungle views, mountain air, and the sounds of nature. Along the way, you may even spot elephants from nearby ethical sanctuaries as they roam freely near the riverside — one of our guests’ favorite moments.


After tubing, we’ll visit a hidden jungle waterfall — a perfect spot to cool off and take unforgettable nature photos. This experience supports our local village and follows sustainable practices every step of the way.


The day ends back at camp with a hot shower, tea, snacks, and a comfortable return to Chiang Mai, arriving around 6:30–7:00 PM
