“The hike was very picturesque and worth it. The top of the mountain was foggy and rainy so we could not see the pagodas clearly. The lunch was decent and the tour guide (Amy) and the driver did their best to keep us informed. The local guide for the trek was very sweet and tried very hard to inform us about the flora and fauna inspite of her limited English.”

Oliver was our guide, he made sure to inform us about stops, restrooms/food breaks in advance which I really appreciate. For the main trek, there was another guide who couldn't communicate in English due to which we couldn't get much info on the trail, flora-fauna. He tried his best though. The trek was moderate and we were given breaks when exhausted. Lunch was provided with option of Veg/Non Veg. It was basic,…”

He came to pick us up on time and throughout all our drives (some of which were 1.5 hours, he took the time to share fun facts about the places we were passing, making the ride so enjoyable and educational! He was so patient, and always ensured we were comfortable in the car, and ensuring our valuables were taken care of. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you so much for the memories Tim!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 119 reviews · 7h 30m · from $73

Spend about 7.5 hours outside Chiang Mai on a guided mountain trek of at least 4.5 kilometers. Walk jungle trails, learn about local plants, eat homemade Thai food, visit a village, and stop at Wat Ban Den. Guides such as Sap are praised for their English and easygoing style. Pickup, water, snacks, lunch, and transport are included.

“Very well organised hiking with excellent guider named Sap - funny, a lot of interesting details about nature, culture not only Thai people but something about northern neighbours. I didn’t read details and thought that is a at least 30% demanding hiking so for me enthusiasts this was easy walk. People in group were fully distanced, awkward feeling - in one moment I asked myself- why they go in group instead of individual guided trip - but that’s nothing with organisation.”

He is a fantastic tour guide and really has thought of everything to make the experience perfect. We enjoyed the trekking to the beautiful waterfall, followed by a lovely lunch. The tubing was a great experience, watching the elephants from the nature park and the water buffalo crossed the river right in front of us! Sliding down the waterfalls and swimming in the pools near the resort was great fun. In the morning we woke up to feeding the elephants in the Sunshine for Elephants Santuary which…”

Join Jimmy and local mahouts for a natural day with rescued elephants near Chiang Mai. Prepare food, feed and walk the elephants, then help with a river bath before eating a home-cooked meal and visiting Mae Wang Waterfall. Expect a flexible rural experience, rough transport, and outdoor activity rather than a tightly timed tour.

“Good experience , need to let clients know it will be a 2 hr drive from Chiang Mai in the back of an open air truck. Also, it was a 7 hrs experience not 4, which caused us to miss another function. Bring towels, bathing suit, change of clothes.( not listed on website “ to bring “ list. Actual experience with elephants fulfilled a dream though.”

He stopped many times to teach us about the plants and their purposes and even shared his childhood stories. It made the walk so much more enjoyable than just a trek to a waterfall. One there we dipped in the water and enjoyed a snack and the view. After a lovely lunch we headed for the water rafting activity. A lot of supporting staff, attention to detail and security, ensuring we were all aware…”
