Great time rafting in Chiang Mai

I had a great time on this trip, and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys rafting or wants an authentic, exciting experience. The guides are hilarious and very friendly, also knowledgeable and well trained. This is a very well run trip, with a delicious meal at the end of it! We also had the opportunity to go down a naturally occurring waterfall slide, which was brilliant. I highly recommend!

Rafting in Chiang Mai

The rafting experience was fantastic - we hit a few rapids as well as some calm water rafting - the experience was made even better with witnessing elephants washing and bathing in the river - the tour conducted by oh-Hoo was excellent and is highly recommended when visiting Chiang Mai

Adult children in nature’s water park

We had so much fun and the guides were hilarious! Got to jump in a water fall, and slide on the rocks. Lunch was delicious and plenty was provided (Though not a buffet). And rafting was as you could expect - mad fun. A once-in-your life day and I’d recommend a 1000 times.
