Chiang Mai Full-Day Adventure: Trekking, Tubing & Elephant

Dive into the heart of Mae Taeng with this full-day excursion. Begin with a scenic 1½-hour drive from Chiang Mai to Huay Kub Kab base camp, nestled in a lush jungle valley 

Embark on a guided trek through rich forest and bamboo groves, following streams to the breathtaking hidden Tard Mok Waterfall (approx. 2–3 hrs). Take time to swim, relax, and capture stunning photos 

After a satisfying Thai lunch and some downtime at camp, slide into your tube for a gentle river tubing adventure on the Mae Taeng River (1.3 hrs). Drift past serene jungle scenery and near Elephant Nature Park—you might even glimpse elephants or water buffalo in the wild 

The day culminates with a memorable visit to Sunshine for Elephants, an ethical elephant-care project. You’ll prepare food and hand-feed rescued elephants in a compassionate, non-ride experience that supports their rehabilitation 

Wind down with hot drinks, snacks, and a warm shower before being comfortably returned to Chiang Mai around 6:30–7:00 PM.
