Full description

This is a experience from Chiang Mai, built around Mae Taeng River, Mae Taeng District and Bua Thong Sticky Waterfalls. It is run by Chiangmai One Day Trip, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Arashiyama, on Kyoto's western edge, is the bamboo grove, the Togetsukyo bridge over the Katsura river, the gardens of Tenryu-ji and the monkey park on the hill above. The bamboo path is about 500 metres and is photographed empty in every guidebook because those photographs are taken before 7:30; by mid-morning it is a procession. Rickshaw runs, the Sagano scenic railway along the gorge, and boat rides down the Hozu rapids all start here. Autumn colour peaks in the second half of November and cherry blossom around the first week of April.

The price covers Pickup and drop-off from hotel, White water rafting ticket, Bamboo rafting ticket, Safety equipment and Lunch and drinking water. It does not cover Towel, Personal expenses and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Chiang Mai. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Chiangmai One Day Trip before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We highly recommend doing this activity, we had such a fun day exploring Chiang Mai’s nature and seeing the elephants. We did white water rafting, bamboo rafting and had a really delicious lunch. The sticky waterfall was really fun to explore. Yabil was very attentive, explained everything clearly and she took care of us and even bought us a coffee when waiting for others to finish the activity 🩷

Fantastic trio with Mr Joe. We were the only group so we ended up getting a private family tour. Lots of fun climbing the sticky waterfall - and surprisingly easy! Lunch was delicious, White water rafting was really fun with an entertaining guide and a relaxing bamboo rafting float through the elephant sanctuaries rounded off the trip well

The trip was nice and well organised. In march the waters were low and calm, ideal for beginners to try out rafting for the first time and still get some adrenaline from small rapids. Joe, our driver and guide, was very engaged, told us about places with passion and took amazing photos! The sticky waterfall was interesting experience, one of a kind. We’ve got enough time to climb it twice. We’re satisfied and wish to come some time in July-October, when the waters are high and adventure more daring.
