Whitewater Kayaking
Whitewater Kayaking
Kayak instruction and guided trips for beginners through advanced paddlers on the same Mae Taeng valley stretch as rafting.
The operation is the only whitewater kayaking outfit in Northern Thailand with Western safety accreditation, giving confidence in instruction quality. Multi-day kayak courses are available for serious paddlers.
Monika's Tip
Book private instruction only if you're genuinely interested in technique development. Group paddling is less expensive and more fun for first-timers. The low-water technical runs (Oct-Mar) are more rewarding once you have basics down.
