Good way to kill a day. - We took a day tour out here from Chiang Mai to hike through the jungle to a waterfall with a private guide, followed by lunch and tubing on the river with a group. It was about an hour drive out of Chiang Mai. When we arrived we started our day with a jungle walk up to the waterfall. It was about a 5 km walk total distance. A bit challenging and a little bit treacherous walking up steep rocky paths going up and down hills while crossing across little streams on improvised bridges, rickety fallen trees and slippery rocks. You probably want to be in pretty reasonable physical shape to do this walk. There are a lot of places you could easily fall and break your ankle or seriously injure yourself. Definitely recommend taking one of the bamboo walking sticks when they offer you one at the beginning of the hike . You’ll need it. It’s also steamy hot being Southeast Asia. Fortunately it was late morning, and it was starting to heat up, but not the peak heat of the afternoon. I’m not sure if I’d want to have done the walk in that. It was a workout! We then went back to their little base camp where lunch awaited us. We consolidated with another group of people for lunch and were then taken on a tubing trip down the river a couple kilometers while drinking beers and listening to reggae music and passing numerous riverside elephant sanctuary along the shore. I thought the beers were complimentary, but they bill you for them when you get back. No problem, though. Only a couple dollars each. Thailand is cheap. ty,. They also have accommodations where you can spend an overnight there on their property, but we didn’t do that. The accommodations looked pretty reasonable though, and they even had a nice little private pool.. It was an enjoyable day.

Incredible day in the Jungle with Jack - I had an amazing day with the guide Jack! Everything was amazing, I had plenty of eyes and we also talked and laughed a lot. The lunch was hearty and delicious, they take care of everything, all day I received fresh water and chocolate bars and coffee or tea. I recommend!

Best Day Ever! - The best day! The trek through jungle as amazing but you had to be semi fit to traverse the steep and somewhat difficult terrain. Well worth it! After a lovely lunch at the very tranquil base camp, we enjoyed a leisurely tube float …even with some rain, through the elephant sanctuary where we encountered much elephant activity. Then a short hike to Saa Gee Falls and enjoyed sliding down them…Great experience! Do it!

A must do for adventurers! - One of my top 3 favorite outings in Thailand. The Villas you begin at are absolutely stunning. Jack our guide was so funny and wd loved his 80s songs in the jungle. The hike was super fun with balance bridges and ropes and the waterfall was magical. After a delicious lunch we went tubing which was also fun with a big boom box, beer and we saw tons of elephants. Our group of 5 raved about this outing and don't miss out. I hope to return one day and stay in one of the beautiful villas!!

All good! - My friends and I had an open day in our travel and wanted to get out of Chiang Mai and into the country. This tour was exactly what we wanted! Everyone who helped with our trip was extremely friendly and helpful. Our guide, Jack, was as amazing as folks had said. Funny, helpful and a great singer. The waterfall hike was just long enough, and the tubing brought us close to the elephants bathing in the river. Great lunch and even better banana chips!

❤️❤️❤️ incredible ! - After a month and a half of traveling for work, this was by far the best tour experience we’ve had so far! Everything was top-level: professional and extremely friendly guides, excellent facilities, a warm welcome, and outstanding meals — truly top, top, top. For the same price, we have never experienced such a high-quality service. This was genuinely a premium, personalized, and carefully organized experience, all in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

tubing, feeding and water sliding! - We were looking for a truly ethical place to meet elephants, and this experience was just perfect. Everything felt respectful and genuine. Spending time in the river was so much fun, and as a lovely bonus, they even took us to waterfalls at the end completely free of charge. Such a special and meaningful day
