Si Lanna National Park

Get picked up from your hotel in Chiang Mai city center and drive 60km to the Sri Lanna National park. You can enjoy a 14 km round trip past lush jungle and across open waterscapes. In good conditions, we enter the reservoir from the west and kayak to a group of floating boathouses.  At the floating restaurant, you are provided lunch and refreshments. A diving tower invites you for a dip while others might explore the bay on their own. After a playful day at the lake, the group heads back on a kayak, enjoying the fantastic views of the Mae Ngat Valley and Sri Lanna National Park along the way.

You will be transferred to the cycling starting point where your guide will provide you with a quick briefing and fit you with a 24-gear TREK 4300 model mountain bike and helmet. Cycle a 20-kilometer loop along rural roads through this scenic valley, where you will encounter mostly flat terrain and a few off-road sections along irrigation canals and rice paddies – authentic northern Thailand countryside. Then, you will enjoy a home-cooked Thai meal in a tropical garden, before swapping your bike for a kayak. You'll be transferred to the nearby Mae Ngat Dam in Sri Lanna National Park to begin paddling, where you'll eventually reach tranquil floating raft houses. Here you can choose to either have a drink (not included), relax on the deck, or swim around the raft house. Next you'll take a 15-minute motorboat journey back to the shore, followed by a short transfer to the adventure base, Le Cocotier Resort. Here you can relax and have a drink or take a shower if needed before being transferred back to your accommodation in Chiang Mai city.
