Once in a lifetime experiences in one day - Paul was a great tour guide! He was very fun and knowledgeable. Three great activities and easy coordination between the places. We loved the sticky waterfall climb (there is also an easy route provided), and seeing and interacting with the elephants up close was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. Closing with the bamboo rafting was a nice relaxing end to the trip. The day went by quickly for us and we enjoyed every second. I definitely recommend to all that like a little adventure and incredible experiences.

Amazing Time - I went with my wife. Pickup was prompt at 0800. Paul was our tour guide. He was fun, accommodating, and professional. The trip lasted from 0800 to 1600. We did the waterfall hike, elephant feeding, and the river rafting. They were all great, especially feeding the elephants.

Incredible excursion from Chiang Mai - Awesome experience. Climbing up the sticky waterfalls was incredibly fun, and the elephant sanctuary was beautiful. We were able to get up close with the elephants, feed them, and trek through the jungle with them. Our tour guide Paul was also amazing, super friendly and hilarious.

Great experience - Paul was our tour guide and he was amazing! And so was our driver Mr. Bang. We spent the entire day together but it felt like the time flew by. The sticky waterfall was scary looking at first but definitely do-able if you are careful. The elephants were very cute and well taken care of. The lunch we had was vegetarian and delicious. The river raft was very relaxing. We would definitely recommend it!

Must-go experience - Paul was the GOAT! Sweetest and the funnest tour guide. Very thoughtful and made sure we were all taken care of. Spoke good English! My favorite tour on our trip to Thailand! The waterfall was beautiful and so much fun to climb around and take pictures. The elephants were beautiful and you could tell they were so happy and free walking around and going for swims! We got to cut up food for them and it was just a beautiful experience lovely hike and rafting ride. Free lunch included!
