Review of Chiang Mai’s jungle trek, Mae Taeng tubing, waterfall slide, lunch, elephant option, transport, value, and practical tips.
“Great day out. I did the hike to the waterfall, the waterfall is ok but the jungle scenery is lovely. The tubing is great, just chilling in the sun, floating down past the various elephant sanctuaries. While they say sittings are not guaranteed they’re about 99% guaranteed, I must have seen about 15. Finally there was a short walk to a waterfall which you can slide down into the pool at the bottom (it’s about 5m drop) The Center for the activity is where lunch etc happens and is very clean with showers, (towel provided) western style toilets and places to relax. All in all a great day out”

“ce trekking est fait pour des sportifs. il y a beaucoup de dénivelé et de montée pour un résultat pas extraordinaire pour une petite cascade, ou on ne peut pas se baigner. pas beaucoup d'explication sur l'environnement et traditions pendant la première journée. nous avons écourté notre expédition pour rentrer a l'hôtel. ce nest pas in simple randonnée dans la forêt.”

Review of Chiang Rai’s small-group hilltribe trek, with four villages, bamboo-cooked lunch, tea fields, waterfall swim, and hot spring.
“The trip was a 10/10. Our guide was very nice and friendly. He explained a lot to us about the nature, various herbs and plants, and about the mountain villages, the people, and their way of life. The hike was manageable, and the refreshing dip at the waterfall and the relaxation in the hot spring at the end were two more highlights. We would do it again. Highly recommended and not as touristy as other tours.”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
