Today is another action-packed adventure, so make sure you rise early and charge your batteries with a healthy breakfast. You will be picked up from the hotel between 8:00 - 8:30 am and drive north towards the Mae Taeng area to begin your adventure. After a safety and equipment briefing, you will hop on your mountain bike and begin riding 8 kilometres on local roads through scenic landscapes.

Get set up with your helmets, life jackets, paddles and rafts plus a safety briefing to make sure you are familiar with the equipment and techniques for paddling, sitting on the raft and river safety. The Mae Taeng River stretches a lengthy 10 kilometres and passes through 14 gorges with Grade 3-5 rapids. It is known by many as Asia's best place to go white water rafting. Enjoy your 2-hour trip down the river, tackling the challenging and fun rapids. Finally, we will pull into the camp downstream where the rafting trip comes to an end.
