Best guide ever and great adventure! - Best guide ever he was so lovely and funny and he made us feel so safe and at home! The waterfall trek was such an adventure and so worth it! The tubing was insane as we got to see the elephants up close from the river. The waterfall slide was so much fun and definitely got the adrenaline pumping! All in all I would do the tour over and over again as it was so special!!

Great facilities and people - Amazing quality of facilities and service. Super trek (not a sinple hike) to a waterfall, then river tubing, ending with a waterfall slide. Our guide Jack deserves 10 stars. They offer top quality toilets and baths as well. Highly recommended to anyone coming to Chiang Mai and looking for a bit of adventure with family and friends

Book this tour - We started the trek and it was beautiful and adventurous along the hiking trails! The waterfall was truly stunning—if you book this tour, I would definitely recommend adding the hike! When we got back, we were served freshly cooked food, which was delicious! Then we had time to change before going tubing, drifting down the river through the village and past the ethical Elephant Nature Park. We saw the elephants and the tourists who had booked their tours. We just floated by them and the elephants. Bang really tried to create a good vibe with music, a cooler filled with snacks, drinks, and even beer. After returning, Bang also took us to a local waterfall where you could slide down! It brought out the child in me. When we got back, we were able to shower—and the showers were beautiful, even better than any hostel shower. Then we were given some fruit and had the chance to feed the elephants at his neighbor’s place. This is part of “Sunshine for Elephants,” which used to be part of the Elephant Nature Park but decided to go their own way. We cut up the watermelons and got to feed them. It was a surreal experience. Book this activity—you won’t regret it. You really get to experience a local vibe for a day, different from the typical touristy party side. Thank you, Bang!

First jungle, then river ride! - Our guide led us through the jungle superbly. Was in a good mood and highly motivated throughout. Afterwards the relaxed ride down the river. It was great fun and everything was well organized 👍

Hiking, waterfall, tubing, waterfall slide, and BEER! - Definitely bring plenty of insect repellant and sunscreen! Staff members are fun and friendly. Be prepared for your own private concert from the tour guides as you hike to a beautiful waterfall. Be on the lookout for elephants as you lazily tube down the river. Be excited for the waterfall slide at the end—it’s a must try!

Jungle trek and river tubing in Chiang Mai. - A fantastic day of adventure. The whole experience was brilliant. Base camp was lovely with free tea and coffee and clean showers and toilets. Jack and the team looked after us so well. The jungle trek was hot and humid and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially cooling off at the waterfall. Lunch was delicious. The tubing was fab. Drinking beer whilst floating down the river, listening to music. All finished off with the waterfall rock slide. I'd definitely recommend it of you're after a day of adventure.

Fantastic day out- worth every penny - Wow what a great day. We were a family of 5 (2 parents and 'kids' aged 20, 17 & 14). We had Jack as our guide, who was fantastic, apart from his singing 🤣. As it was just us 5 in our group the trek only took about 2 hours to the waterfall and back, it is not a strenuous trek a couple of our group did it in sliders, hot but most of it in shade. We were the first group to get to the waterfall so had it to ourselves to begin with for a refreshing dip. Tubing down the river was a relaxing 90 minutes with plenty of elephant photo opportunities, Jack kept us refreshed with beers and soft drinks. Then finally the waterfall slide to finish off a great day, looks a little daunting at first sight but don't be put off it's great fun. The venue, Huay Kub Kab, was excellent, soft drinks and snacks on arrival, lunch was a delicious Pad Thai and then fruit snack at the end of the day. All staff were lovely, showers with shower gel, shampoo and towels provided, waterproof phone cases and sunglasses lanyard provided for tubing, they had thought of everything to make the day perfect. Yes it is a long day from 8am pick up to 6.30pm drop off but it was well organised with nothing too rushed and plenty of time to enjoy each bit. Highly recommend.

Action packed - perfectly organised day - From pickup to drop off, everything was expertly organised and ran like clockwork. Car trip was about 1hr 30mins from Chiang Mai but with a break in the middle. The trek was fun and doable for all members of the group, even those that weren’t quite as confident with outdoor pursuits. The guides were good fun and helped where needed. You get to a big waterfall where you can swim and rest, and turn back towards the villa for a pad Thai. Then onto the tubing down the river with a beer in hand and music for around an hour. You can then feed the elephants if you want to but not mandatory. Loads of complimentary water, soft drinks and snacks offered. You won’t be thirsty or hungry. Transport was also on point for the entire day. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful day in the jungle - Jack and team were fabulous. Would highly recommend all of them! All so welcoming and kind. Jack was so knowledgeable and chatted to us throughout the trek. He made us feel so comfortable and safe. We had such a memorable day trekking, seeing waterfalls, tubing on the river and the biggest highlight was interacting with the special elephants. Jack made it a special day. He is a lovely man. Thank you.
