Mr. K was an amazing tour guide from start to finish! He picked us up from our hotel and took us out for a wonderful day packed with unforgettable experiences. We visited elephants and even got to feed them, which was such a special moment. The white-water rafting was thrilling, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. He guided us through the sticky waterfall, and we couldn’t stop smiling—we laughed the whole day! Mr. K was great company, everything ran smoothly, and we even enjoyed a delicious Thai lunch. To finish off the day, he dropped us at the airport. Highly recommend!

Once in a lifetime experience!! Visiting the elephant sanctuary was my favorite part. The wonder of being in the presence and even touching such gentle, exquisite creatures goes unmatched. The trainers seemed patient and tender with the elephants. Be warned, you could get wet! The water rafting was super fun, not too aggressive and perfect for a first timer! You will definitely get wet. The sticky waterfall was very cool, unreal to feel water rushing over your feet while you push against it, sturdy and confident. Children under 7 are not permitted. Again, you will be wet. We brought a change of clothes but mostly dried quick enough we didn’t need them. The elephant sanctuary provided flip flops, but the other activities can be done barefoot if you didn’t/couldn't bring water shoes. Mr. K was very knowledgeable, a great photographer and great communicator!! We were contacted the night before with confirmation details, ensuring smooth travels. Vegetarian/allergy friendly lunch. Thanks Mr. K for the great time!!

Mr. K was absolutely amazing and made this entire experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond, took fantastic photos for us, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time throughout the day. The elephant sanctuary was incredible and truly special. This was also my first time water rafting, and even though I do not know how to swim, I felt completely safe and had so much fun. It ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. The Sticky Waterfall was way better than I expected and such a unique and fun experience. I did not bring water shoes and had no issues at all. You also do not need to change clothes as long as you are wearing swim trunks, which made things very easy. The food was delicious including the vegetarian option, which was a pleasant surprise. Everything was well organized, fun, and stress free from start to finish. Mr. K truly deserves a raise. He is an outstanding tour guide and an amazing person. I highly recommend this tour.

An absolutely incredible experience! We visited an elephant sanctuary with beautiful waterfalls, and everything was perfectly organized. Mister K was exceptional: very kind, professional and attentive throughout the day. Elephants are well treated, respected and protected. They are elephants who had a difficult past, and the sanctuary today offers them a real second chance. We feel a lot of respect and love for animals, without any exploitation. A strong, moving and unforgettable moment. I recommend 100% this experience to all people who want to discover elephants ethically and responsibly.

An all-around amazing trip! All of the activities were so much fun, and Mr. K was a great guide. He got us from place to place with ease and made sure we were always in good hands. The highlights were definitely the elephant sanctuary and sticky waterfalls, both are a must while you’re in Chiang Mai. The whitewater rafting was fun, but since we visited in the dry season, the rapids are a bit tame for people who’ve gone before. So if you’re there in the off season and want more of a thrill, choose the option with zip lining, elephants, and sticky waterfalls. But it was still a whole lot of fun, and we had plenty of time at each stop. Can’t say enough good things about Mr. K, he was phenomenal!

Fabulous day that ran very smoothly, was very well organised and we felt was extremely good value. Mr K-our guide-was very friendly and knowledgeable. He also took photos of us rafting and then air dropped them to us! 10 on our trip. Comfortable air-conditioned van and prompt pick up. The elephant sanctuary was brilliant…could not have asked for better. The centre is doing a fabulous job of caring for the elephants as they were very relaxed and are breeding successfully . We prepared their food, fed them, visited them in their large open area and finally washed them in the river. Long neck village was very interesting with lovely souvenirs and crafts on offer to purchase very cheaply. White water rafting was great fun followed by a beautiful hot lunch of varied Thai dishes. Sticky waterfalls were beautiful and challenging to walk up. I would highly recommend this trip. A long day…but very well worth it.
