Whitewater Rafting, Mountain Biking and Elephant Riding

This is probably the most popular of all the adventure excursions with our guests, because no matter how inexperienced, even veterans, this program fits everyone with an emphasis on safety.

 

You will be picked up from PJ's Place at around 8:30am for the one hour drive by air conditioned van to the elephant park in the Mae Taeng area. From here you will take an elephant ride through the beautiful  mountainside jungle returning to the camp area after about one hour.

Drive the short distance to the riverside base camp for the 10km mountainbike ride up the river to the main camp for lunch and instruction. (The van follows you all the way so if the bike ride gets too strenuous just take the van instead)

 

After a good lunch (vegetarian if required) you will be given instruction on paddling and safety in the raft and then to the river fully equipped with helmets and safety jackets. The raft ride is a truly memorable experience through winding gorges, lush jungle and magnificent terraced rice fields. You will paddle through breathtaking canyons for unparalleled fun on the river. There are 14 rapids to pass through ranging from grade 2 up to grade 4 depending on the river. Anyone not wishing to raft through the higher grades can walk through that section and rejoin their raft lower down. The journey takes around two hours.

 

Finally, help to carry your rafts ashore at the finish camp and change into dry clothes before taking some refreshment and the hour journey back to PJ's Place arriving at around 5:30pm.
