River tubing in Chiang Mai — every single day.
Tubing, waterfalls, jungle treks and time with elephants and their mahouts — all from one riverside base camp on the Mae Taeng, about 1 hour 15 north of the old city.
Pick your adventure on the Mae Taeng
Ten day tours from one base camp — float the river, slide the waterfall, trek the jungle, or spend about half an hour with elephants and their mahouts. Every tour includes life jackets and a guide the whole way, and most finish on the SaGee Waterfall slide — each tour page says whether yours does.

This is the float.
Tubes tied together, drifting the Mae Taeng past elephants bathing on the bank — they spend their days in the forest along the river, and we float by. Twelve seconds, straight from our river. No filters, no actors.
Filmed on the same stretch you’ll float, minutes from our camp.

Ethical elephants
Observe only — no riding, no bathing, no shows, no chains and no touching. You walk into their riverside area with the mahouts and can help prepare their food, which is set down on the ground for them.
Small, local groups
Family-run with a local guide and kitchen — real people from our own village.
Every day, with pickup
Daily departures with hotel pickup from Chiang Mai, or self-drive and save.
Safe & insured
Life jackets, a guide the whole way and accident insurance for every guest — up to ฿500,000 medical and ฿1,000,000 cover. Non-swimmers welcome.
Everything starts at the river.
Change, get your briefing and a Thai lunch at our riverside camp — then float, trek or ride, and finish at the SaGee Waterfall rock slide.
We have run this stretch of the Mae Taeng for years, and we are the #1-rated activity in Kuet Chang.
We do not run white water rafting. The Mae Taeng has grade 3–4 rapids further along it and other companies run those — our stretch is the calm water, floated on tubes tied together with a guide in the river beside you, from one year old.
