Sticky waterfall ATV and White water rafting Adventures

This full-day Chiang Mai tour from Thailand Elephant Tour combines ATV riding, white-water rafting and a visit to Bua Tong Sticky Waterfall, whose limestone has a naturally sticky grip. It takes up to 30 people and suits active travellers: at least a moderate level of fitness is expected, and the minimum age for ATV riding is 14.

What the day involves

No hour-by-hour timetable is published, so confirm the order of stops with the operator. The ATV ride covers a mixture of road and off-road jungle terrain. The white-water rafting is at levels 3 to 4 over a 4 km stretch and lasts about 40 to 50 minutes. The Sticky Waterfall has cool pools, and its limestone formations give the sticky effect that makes it unusual. A lunch of Thai food with drinking water is part of the day.
