Full-Day Chiang Mai Adventure: Zipline, Rafting, ATV & Sticky Waterfall
Spend a single, action-packed day above rainforest canopies, on river rapids, and climbing the region’s famous Sticky Waterfall. This full‑day Chiang Mai circuit combines ziplines, ATVs, white‑water, and a mineral waterfall—packed logistics make it accessible and adventurous.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring quick-dry clothing
Synthetic tops and shorts dry fast after the rafting and Sticky Waterfall so you stay comfortable for the afternoon ATV and zipline sections.
Secure valuables
Use a small waterproof pouch or leave phones at the hotel—rafts and ATVs can jostle cameras and loose items free.
Stay hydrated and snack smart
Carry electrolytes and a light snack; the day is long and physical with intermittent shade between activities.
Listen to safety briefings
Zipline, ATV and rafting have gear and weight rules—follow guides’ instructions to avoid delays or being turned away from a segment.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Wildlife and river health are sensitive; choose operators that avoid direct contact with elephants and follow leave-no-trace rules to minimize erosion and litter.
The area reflects the Lanna Kingdom’s agricultural heritage—rice terraces and small shrines dot the roads between activity sites.
