1 of the best highlight of my trip is this. Feeding and showering of elephants, Doi Inthanon pagodas and hiking with amazing waterfall! This tour is really value for money. And I would like to go again.
the experience is memorable and amazing. the tour guide Lulu is funny. we got to touch and bath the elephants, then had a great trail walk, ended with amazing local coffee and unique souvenirs, definitely a must-go life time trip
Mt. Inthanon Heaven Trail Hiking Experience Hiking in the magnificent nature and silence was a truly wonderful experience. The trail was moderately difficult and was structured so that hikers of all levels could enjoy it. The guide was very kind and explained the plants and animals in detail, which allowed me to feel the depth of nature even more. The scenery was also spectacular, and the view from the observation deck in particular is an unforgettable memory. Elephant Sanctuary and Inthanon Hiking Experience At the Elephant Sanctuary, I was able to spend precious time interacting closely with the elephants. The environment in which the animals live in peace was well-established, and just seeing them warmed my heart. The following hike on Mt. Inthanon was a perfect program that allowed me to enjoy both the beauty of nature and pleasant exercise. Both tours exceeded my expectations, and it was a very satisfying day. I would like to participate again!
Very nice trip, cute elephants, nice views. Guides giving a lot of useful information, also take care all the time. very nice lunch, drinking water available all the way. Our guide Tukta (hopefullycorrect)was amazing, good organised, informative and cute and funny
Fantastic full day tour! They don't contact you the day before to confirm but they did end up picking us as the voucher time stated. its the perfect combination of half day elephant sanctuary and the rest at doi inthanon, twin pagodas, a pad thai lunch, short hike to the Karen village. The tour guide Tukta was very friendly and clear, she helped everyone. Water was also provided. highly recommended to those who wants a little of everything outside the city of chiangmai.
One of the most beautiful experiences we've had! Worth every cent! The food, elephants, national park, hiking trails, waterfalls... Simply incredible. Many thanks to our tour guide Rainbow who showed us everything and explained it to us with a smile on her face. ❤️and to our driver Diggi 👌🏼you made our vacation even more beautiful.
It was perfect one day trip that included everything I wanted to do!! In the first half, were able to feed bananas to elephants, bathe them in the river, take pictures with them. And after lunch, we visited Thailand's highest point, also Great Pagoda which overlooks the rice terrains, and finally did trekking to the waterfall that passed through the rice terrains. Everything was so beautiful and worth the whole day. Our guide Adam explained everything in detail also made the trip much more interesting and enjoyable with his humor. I would like to recommend this trip go everyone who wants to feel Chiangmai's real beauty 💚
The tour goes in this order: elephant sanctuary - mountain top - pagoda - trekking. The elephant sanctuary and Doi Inthanon are close together, so it was nice to be able to experience everything in one day! The elephants at the elephant sanctuary looked happy. Baby elephants don’t really eat sugarcane and only like bananas. ㅋㅋㅋ Some elephants didn’t want to take a bath, but I was glad that they didn’t force them to. And the trekking isn’t that difficult. Even moms and dads in their 50s and 60s could do it without difficulty. It was mostly downhill so it was comfortable! Also, it rained a lot the day before so we couldn’t trek, but thanks to that, the waterfall was amazing. It was a tour that the whole family was satisfied with! Lastly, our guide, Wan, was so cute, bright, and full of energy! He takes really good pictures. So cute~~!
Had a very good time with Rainbow and Victor. Went to Living Green Sanctuary for the Elephant feeding and bathing. Joined with other groups, had a sumptous vegan Pad Thai for lunch. Afterwards we went to Doi Inthanon and the Pagoda. Hiked for 2 hours to a local village, walking past thru a waterfall and a picturesque rice fields. Enjoyed a marvelous coffee and tea in the village then head back to the city. (If you don't want to hike, option would be to visit a bigger waterfalls) Worth it for a whole day packed adventure!
The elephants feeding and bathing experience was wonderful, and give us the opportunity to be more connected to the elephants. Must do when in ChiangMai. The hiking in Inthanon was somewhat a let down as the weather was not conducive in the afternoon due to rain. The organizers could have done a better job to inform us on what to bring and wear for the hiking, and what is the expected temperature on that day which was very cold @ 13Cel. However, all in all, well worth journey just for the elephants.
