About this experience
Experience the authentic side of Chiang Mai! Start with a scenic trek to Tard Mok Waterfall, followed by a homemade lunch at our cozy jungle base camp. Then, float down the lifeblood river of a Northern Thai village on the first and only river tubing experience in Chiang Mai. With a local guide who has lived here all his life, observe elephants and water buffalo bathing naturally—an ethical, non-intrusive way to see these animals. Your guide, a former elephant caretaker, shares insider knowledge about these gentle giants. Discover Saa Gee Waterfall, a hidden gem rarely visited by travelers, and soak in the quiet beauty of Chiang Mai’s countryside. End the day with hot tea and snacks before heading back. Note: Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, as animals roam freely. A true local adventure blending nature, culture, and exploration.

A great experience!
Was a really great experience! We had a fun time and the staff was fantastic. They played music and you gave you a great time. We wanted to switch from the elephant experience to the waterfall sliding, that was no problem at all. Very flexible! And after you could get a shower en eat some watermelon and snacks. Would 100% recommend! :)

Great day trip!!!!!
Guides and staff were outstanding especially Jack. The hike, the tube float, and the waterfall slide were incredibly fun

AMAZING day in the jungle!
We had an amazing day! We were picked up at our hotel in Chiang Mai and went to te camp. We were welcomed by the owner and after that went with Jack to do the jungle trek. Jack and our other guide were really friendly and helpfull and helped our girls (7 and 9) all the way. He also made a few lovely pictures and movies for us. Back at the camp we ate a lovelylunch and went tubing with Jack afterwards. It was so nice to float down the river, enjoying music and a cold beer! The surrounding is beautiful and we also crossed a few elephant shelters. We LOVED it. After that we went to a natural slide/waterfall, a few minutes from the camp, that was a nice ending of a perfect day. We toon a hot shower, eat some fruit and now we're being dropped of at our hotel again. Thank you SO much! 10/10 ❤️😄

Superfun
It was a very plesant day. Picking up was good organised, they even texted a picture of the little bus. The walk in naturen and the tubing were fantastique. And a cherry on top with the waterfallslide.

Jungle experience
We had a great time with our teenage children. The guides were all very helpful and fun. The trek was a great adventure and floating down the river was then another great way to see the jungle followed by an exciting waterfall slide or for the less adventurous there were smaller slides to enjoy as well! The guides had lots of water and snacks so we didn’t have to take bags on any activity and the lunch was delicious! Definitely recommend this trip

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 237 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure?
+
Around 83 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chiang Mai: Full-Day Jungle Trek, Tubing & Waterfall Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
