Leave Chiang Mai behind for a full-day escape into Mae Kampong’s cool, deep-green rainforest and quiet village trails. Walk with a local guide and gibbon caretaker along hidden jungle paths, learning about native plants and their traditional uses. Listen for wild gibbons calling across the valley and, if they’re close, catch a glimpse of them high in the canopy—sightings are likely but not guaranteed. Continue to a tucked-away waterfall, pause for coffee with panoramic views, then enjoy a simple local lunch with vegetarian or vegan options before heading back to the city by late afternoon. Trails are natural and uneven, so moderate fitness is recommended. Book your spot and follow the forest’s quiet rhythm.

Incredible experience!!!!

Our family of 5, including 3 kids 8-12 years old, did this full day tour a couple of days ago. It was an amazing experience! The chance to be up close with the 3 elephants and their handlers in such a gorgeous location was truly special. We walked with the elephants, fed them bananas and watermelon, watched them roll and play in the mud pit and then our kids swam with them in the stream and helped to wash off the mud. We also had a delicious local lunch of chicken, fried ride, egg and tons of fruit. The pace was very relaxed. We spent about 5 hours at the sanctuary plus a few hours of driving. This is the tour to do if you really want to slow down and enjoy a quiet relaxed day in nature just observing the elephants and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Half-Day Elephant Experience at Rantong

Rantong Elephant Sanctuary

The sanctuary is about 1.5 hours from Chiang Mai. We were given special clothes so not to destroy our clothes as conditions were quite muddy. You get to prep food and feed the elephants close up. We saw elephants of different sizes and ages. Then as an option you get to wash the elephants at the end. Food was then provided, a simple but good egg pad Thai and some fruits and mango sticky rice. Overall a fun experience and the elephants look like they were happy and sociable.

Highly recommended!

What an incredible tour! The national park was absolutely beautiful, with spectacular scenery including lush rice fields, coffee plants, and impressive waterfalls. Tong was an excellent guide and driver, always making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. He was knowledgeable, kind, and great company throughout the trip. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

A Must-Do Food Tour in Chiang Mai

Moui was an excellent guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the food, the local culture, and the history of the region, which made the experience even more enjoyable. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was satisfied at every stop, always offering additional food if anyone wanted more. The food throughout the tour was outstanding. We visited six different locations and sampled more than 15–20 different dishes, giving us a fantastic taste of authentic Northern Thai cuisine. Come hungry—you definitely won’t leave this tour hungry! I highly recommend this experience, especially if you’re looking for a fun, delicious, and informative way to explore Chiang Mai.

Breathtaking Views

Our guide Andy was amazing. He was informative, friendly and most importantly an amazing photographer. To thoroughly enjoy this fantastic experience travel with a raincoat or umbrella and sweater. The temperature is significantly different from the city's.

I really loved this tour....

I really loved this tour. Mumu and Tom were my tour guides and were absolutely fantastic. Mumu is easily the funniest person I have met in Thailand. She was also super informative and I learned a lot about Thai culture through her! I came for Doi Inthanon, but I really enjoyed all the other stops on the tour.

Adventurous Day!

A long but ADVENTUROUS day! Well worth it! At the Elephant Sanctuary, you can see the elephants are well taken care of and loved! Living as free as possible after being rescued. Doi Inthanon, so breathtaking being in the clouds. A beautiful tribute to the King and Queen. To end it with the waterfall hike was a perfect ending! Definitely got our steps in and the waterfalls were therapeutic to see and walk along.

We had a great time and...

We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone who likes unusual adventures and places. The cave was so amazing. The bats were incredible and the temples were really cool. Kayaking the river was a great way to end the tour. Relaxing for the most part, though there were a few rapids, it was fun and beautiful. Our guide, A, was awesome. He’s just an all around great guy. Our driver, Golf, was also great.

This was a lovely...

This was a lovely experience visiting two temples in the evening. Due to the timing, we were able to see the temples in both daylight and then at night. Our guide was also very knowledgable and provided a lot of information about the temples and also Chiang Mai’s history. She was also very accommodating when people asked to be dropped off around town instead of at their hotel.

Best tour of its kind

Yo-Yo was a great tour guide. He was funny and gave us so much information. There are a lot of tours that do these same spots, but I will say no one I spoke to later that did a similar tour knew anything of the history of the area like I did after spending the day with Yo-Yo. Our group was 9 people and it was a good size. It is cool there in the mornings! Wear full length leggings and bring a light jacket you will be surprised that you will need it (March 26)

Chiang mai Hike & Downhill Bike Adventure –Suthep National Park

Alison_S, Nov 2025

Outstanding experience!

This was utterly breathtaking! Our guide was Danay (sorry if spelt incorrectly) the weather was bad! It was raining and hot the conditions on the way up and down were horrendous but we did not stop enjoying ourselves from start to finish. I am a fit person but this was HARD! I have done this before when it was dry and it was easier but we were fighting with the elements the whole way and sadly I had to get off the bike a few times on the way down because I’m a wimp! Danay never made me feel bad in fact we had the most amazing conversation. He told us all about his life and showed great interest in ours! It was an experience we will never forget! His knowledge of the area and his constant lookout for wild boar and snakes resulted in us spotting a golden web spider! I recommend this to anyone but it’s not for you if you are not fairly fit! That said; I would recommend anyone to take this opportunity! The views, the food, the stories, the jungle the people! It was outstanding!
