White Water Rafting Chiang Mai (Mae Taeng River) – Full Day

“Along the river we also saw many elephants freely roaming, cleaning themselves and also crossing the river which was an added bonus.” — Jake, USA

On a hot day, cool down with an adrenaline-pumping adventure on the white water rapids of the Mae Taeng River. We’ll begin the day early picking you up from your hotel, and then driving through the Thai countryside to our starting point.

Before donning our safety gear, we’ll enjoy a delicious traditional lunch as we listen to a thorough briefing from our instructor. We’ll then don our helmets and life jackets, taking up our paddles before boarding our rafts – and down the rapids we go!

This trip will cover at least 10 km of river rafting, along villages and elephant camps by the river. We’ll start slow with around 3km of practice rowing, following our guide’s commands. After the exciting yet beautiful ride, get ready for two big drops to end the day with a splash!

“The rafting experience was amazing, also with a good mixture of lazy river and exciting white water sections. We were also lucky enough to have a few elephants present on the river banks as we paddled along.” — Tom, United Kingdom

“I've never white water rafted before and I was extremely nervous, but it ended up being so much fun. The views while on the raft are stunning.” — Qazika, London
