Excellent trip with Mr. K elephant watching, white water rafting, and sticky water falls climbing. Enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time! Started with an elephant sanctuary. Elephants were treated very nicely, made their food, got to feed them, and hang out. They weren’t forced to do anything they didn’t want to do— e.g. if they didn’t feel like taking a bath, they didn’t have to. Confirmed there is no riding 🙅🏻♀️. The keepers rly love them. Seemed ethical. Our elephant guide is from the long neck village, she taught us a little bit about her people. The small market seems like it’s a way for villagers to support themselves even if it’s geared for tourists. They actually live there. Lunch was better than some other tour experiences. Our driver/guide was also kind and went to the sticky waterfall with us. He took great photos!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing experience for the full day! The elephant sanctuary seemed responsible and the sticky waterfall was much more fun than I expected. Our guide was cheery, fun, and really made sure we had a great time

The tour company was very accommodating and flexible to our schedule needs. Mr. K, our driver/tour guide was also very nice and thoughtful to our needs. We had the absolute best time! The bamboo rafting was so serene and peaceful. We saw lots of elephants, ox, buffalos. The sticky waterfall hike was so much fun! Definitely a must do when in Chiang Mai! Highly recommend!

This was a perfect tour for us. Yook (tour guide) and Mr Joe were friendly and accommodating. Yook is a fount of knowledge and even took pictures for us, climbing up and down the waterfall, as surefooted as a mountain goat, unlike me, who slipped down the not-so-sticky part of the waterfall on my back. one step away from reaching the top. The elephant experience was magical as was the relaxing ride along the river. My friend and I were so lucky to have had this experience and having seen and heard another guide who was there very close to our group, so glad we didn't have him as our guide (he was loud, a little disrespectful, imho, and trying to be funny. I suppose there are those who would like him but i thought we weren't supposed to wash the elephants as this was supposed to be respectful to the elephants and not to be used for put entertainment, or to treat the Kayan women as if they were animals in a zoo). We were grateful to have booked through this group and gotten Yook and Mr. Joe.

Amazing experience with the elephants. Got to feed, pet, and bathe them! The karen tribe was so interesting to see and the rafting was also a fun experience. The lunch was surprisingly delicious and the sticky waterfall was also such a unique experience. We got to walk up it 3 times. Mr. K is a great guide and super fun and helpful! Thanks for a great tour!!
