Full Day River Kayaking Tour, paddle into a serene landscape of Mae Taeng Forest, jungle-fringed rivers, buffalo enjoying in the water, singing exotic birds. The mighty Ping River here a playful large Creek gives a handful of opportunities to practice our art of river navigation. Because of its mild consequences but challenging nature of this terrain it is a favorite for newcomers to the sport. The Mae Ping river’s cool water keeps the immediate environment at a comfortable temperature. The final destination the Mae Tang Forest Reserve ads a continuous alley of large overhanging trees keeping us in the shade. The absence of civilization reminds us how quiet nature can be without modern life present.

This full day river kayaking tour starts with hotel pickup from your Chiang Mai hotel in the morning. On arrival at the launch site on the Mae Ping River, get paddling instructions from your guide in your single or double kayak. After some practice, it’s an easy entry at the river flow. The river terrain gets a bit more challenging as you navigate between the sandbanks and shore, newcomers to the sport will find the vessels very stable.

The cool water keeps the immediate environment at a comfortable temperature and the absence of modern civilization provides a tranquil setting. Get a glimpse of rural life — you’ll spot the occasional fisherman casting a net into the Mae Ping or a farmer herding water buffaloes — and watch for native and migrating birds that thrive in this protected region. Pause for a snack on the riverbank, then kayak to your final destination in the Mae Tang Forest Reserve where a canopy of overhanging trees offers shade. Here we enjoy a freshly cooked Thai meal in a mango plantation restaurant.  Afterward, you’re driven back to your hotel in Chiang Mai.
