If you’re planning an adventure in Chiang Mai, one of the biggest decisions is whether to book a single activity or make a full day of it with a combination tour. While whitewater rafting, ATV riding and jungle trekking are all fantastic experiences on their own, combining two adventures into one day often creates a more memorable and rewarding experience.
Make the Most of the Journey to Mae Taeng
Most of 8Adventures’ activities take place in the beautiful Mae Taeng Valley, around 1.5 hours north of Chiang Mai. Rather than making the journey for just one activity, many guests choose to experience two complementary adventures in a single day.
By combining activities, you’ll spend more time exploring the mountains and less time travelling. Whether you’re visiting Chiang Mai for just a few days or have a packed itinerary, a combination tour helps you make the most of your time.
More Variety, More Adventure
Every activity offers something different.
Whitewater rafting delivers excitement as you navigate the rapids of the Mae Taeng River with experienced guides.
ATV riding takes you through mountain tracks, forests and scenic countryside that many visitors never experience.
Jungle trekking offers a slower pace, allowing you to discover nature, local wildlife and beautiful viewpoints on foot.
Combining two of these experiences creates a day with changing scenery, different challenges and a greater sense of adventure than a single activity alone.
Flexible Itineraries Throughout the Year
Our combination tours are carefully planned to provide the best overall experience, but the order of activities may vary depending on operational requirements, weather conditions and group logistics.
Some days begin with rafting before moving on to an afternoon ATV adventure, while on other days the schedule may be reversed. This flexibility allows us to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for every group rather than following a fixed timetable.

ATV Quad Biking
Lunch Included
All of our adventure tours include a freshly prepared lunch at our riverside base camp.
Whether you choose a single activity or a combination tour, you’ll have time to relax, enjoy a meal and take in the beautiful surroundings before continuing your day or returning to Chiang Mai.
Combination tours simply allow you to enjoy even more of what the area has to offer.
Better Value for Your Day
Many visitors initially consider booking only whitewater rafting or an ATV tour. However, once they realise they are already travelling into the mountains, adding a second activity often makes perfect sense.
Instead of spending much of the day travelling to and from Chiang Mai, you’ll enjoy a full day packed with adventure, scenery and great memories.
For many guests, combination tours become one of the highlights of their trip to northern Thailand.
Looking for Something Even More Unique?
If you’re looking to experience a different side of northern Thailand, consider extending your adventure with our Mountain Village Stay.
This one-night experience is much more than accommodation. Guests stay in a traditional mountain village, enjoy genuine local hospitality, explore forest trails and experience a peaceful rural lifestyle far removed from the city’s busy tourist areas.
It’s especially popular with families, photographers, nature lovers and travellers seeking authentic cultural experiences. Many guests tell us that the Mountain Village Stay becomes the highlight of their visit to Thailand because it offers something that few visitors have the opportunity to experience.
If you have an extra day in your itinerary, it’s the perfect way to complement an adventure tour and discover a side of Chiang Mai that most travellers never see.
