With Minty
Scenic Rafting & Zip-line Day Trip
115 reviews
7 hours | sports & leisure | Chiang Mai
Whether you're a thrill-seeker ready to plunge into the most thrilling ride or a first-time rafter, who would like to take it easy. On this private experience, you will enjoy 10 km rafting trip and fly across the river with 12 stations zip-lining with beautiful nature!
"Minty was a great guide taking us for a day of white water rafting and ziplining
The ziplining place we were meant to go was closed for construction work but the alternative, King Kong Smile zipline was amazing too with a 1.2km zipling across a jungle valley with small village buildings visible far below"
"Minty was in a word... AMAZING!! She was kind and patient when picking us up! The car was really comfortable with ample room. The kayaking/zip line adventure was really fun and to finish it off we went to the famous sticky water falls, and she was very nice to take all the pictures we wanted. The best part is she showed us a really hidden out of the way BEAUTIFUL waterfall. I’d say it’s more beautiful than sticky waterfalls. The park hadn’t even opened it to the public yet! She was all around amazing and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend going on a tour with her!"

Great adventure day with Minty
"Yesterday Minty and I tried a zipline, white water rafting, and 'sticky waterfall' adventures. She was so accomodating and flexible throughout the day, she joined in the fun and we had time for some great chats in between. I thoroughly enjoyed her company and the whole day was great fun thanks to her planning. Will definitely use her services again while here in Chiang Mai. Highly recommend Minty for your tour guide!!!"

A perfect day with Minty
"We booked a whole day trip with Minty and it was perfect from the first contact. Communication with Minty was easy and clear. In advance she sent us a packing list for our day which was very helpful. She picked us up at our hotel in a super nice car. We spent the day with bamboo rafting and white water rafting together with her. Everything was just perfectly organized from A to Z. We ended our day with a delicious Thai BBQ (a BBQ on the table on which you can fry meat and boil soup at the same time) in a nice jungle resort next to the river. Minty even sent us some fotos and a video from our trip as we left our mobiles in the car while rafting. Minty is a lovely person and it was like spending the day with an old friend. Thank you very much!!!"

Loved It
"Not only did I go wakeboarding, but I went ziplining on 17 lines across the river, the daredevil in me was having a blast, i also bathed and fed the elephants. Saw a hidden gem temple on the way. 4 activities in one day. No one can beat that. The place was also not overcrowded. the Kao Soi for breakfast was rich with flavor, make sure you try it, the local barbeque for dinner was great. The extra activities came at minimal extra cost but it was totally worth. Interact with her, she can customize your entire trip for you, if you want to do anything else let her know, she's a great guide, time with her feels more like with a friend."

Fantastic Tour!
"Minty is simply amazing, she organised everything from A to Z, came to the hotel by car ( beautiful car), took me everywhere we agreed to go, took care of all the formalities/ entrance fees etc ( before even i gave her the agreed amount for her services), she is a very pleasant person to be around, full of joy, enthusiastic and also full of patience! Very punctual, very responsive when messaging. I had absolutely no worries with her and i could fully enjoy my trips without having to worry about the local language and people not understanding me. Her English is very good and having a local helping around is very useful mostly when shopping at the local shops. I recommend Minty and her services from the heart and i already miss her a great deal! She is such a beautiful soul!"
