Description
Go with friends or family on an adventure loop over rural bike paths and water. Participants will enjoy cycling in the flat valley and easy paddling sit-on-top kayaks downriver or on a lake.
Embark on this active day trip starting with a convenient pick-up from your Chiang Mai accommodation, whisking you away to the scenic Mae Taeng region, where adventure awaits! Once at our cycling launch point, prepare to immerse yourself in the charm of rural life as you pedal along picturesque country roads. Your journey begins with a brief overview from your friendly guide, and soon you'll find yourself surrounded by stunning vistas of vibrant rice fields and the authentic ambiance of local villages. You'll cycle approximately 12-15 miles, making plenty of stops to soak in the breathtaking scenery and connect with the welcoming locals, making this experience truly unforgettable.
After completing your ride, delight in a delicious homemade lunch that fuels your spirit for the afternoon's thrilling escapade. Next, we’ll transfer you to the riverbank, where your paddling adventure begins! After a quick safety briefing, hop onto your comfortable sit-on-top kayak and glide down the river. As you paddle, keep your eyes peeled for local fishermen and the spectacle of birds diving to catch their next meal. Expect to paddle about 5 miles, which will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you finish, we'll meet up with our vehicle, stopping at our activity base for a refreshing local tea before heading back to Chiang Mai. If river conditions are low, don’t worry—we’ll switch our paddling adventure to a nearby lake for an equally thrilling experience!
