All year we venture into the jungles exploring the unspoiled natural forests of the north. In the now dryer season the open and wider river with its lazy currents drifts us passed remarkable countryside and mountain scapes. With water levels now safe for everyone we venture with our novices and “light swimmers” into the more interesting jungle stretches.
Water Condition UPDATE: February 2021 ,
The spring season has progressed with clear skies and cool morning air with very few rain showers. We like , Trip # G , The Chiang Mai Mae Ping Run , Trip D , The Mae Ngat Mid Valley Run , there favorable water conditions keeps us kayaking in easily navigated waters , great for families with kids. We are doing Kayak GAP , our Chiang Dao Jungle Kayak Trip, it is picked with tight turns and challenging small currents through our favorite deep Jungle, Still good for beginners with a sporty edge :). On request (Trip Kayak A+) can also be experienced together with a 1 hr trek in to the Chiang Dao Cave, a remarkable cave system to be enjoyed by everyone. This is the place to be for a scenic and sporty adventure trip. See you soon. Beginners welcome !

The Northern Thailand Region has 3 distinct seasons , all rivers are primarily fed by rain water .
Cool Season :
November through Mid February, Chiang Mai enjoys mostly clear skies and night temps get nice and cool. This is also the time where we see less and less new rain fall. Occasional showers refill the rivers and we “hunt” down the perfect conditions to kayak.
Dry Season :
Mid February trough June, Chiang mai goes dry with very few showers . However there are now river sections that are opening up for “ELFing” (extremely low flow kayaking), which actually is a lot more fun then it sounds and extremly popular with beginners , as they can now enjoy the challenges of jungle kayaking in low water. It also is a good time for exploration as the weather has become very predictable.
Green Season :
July through October We love the rainy or here in Chiang mai called the green season. The daily building overcast brings us rain around 3:30 pm in the afternoon , the heat helps tower huge cumulus clouds very localized over the valley and hanging in the mountains. The rains are torrential for short periods of time and have a delightful cooling effect on everyone alive up here. In this time the hunt is on again , this time to verify the exact water levels of all rivers that are in the game. Thanks to our local connections with smart phones we get the last minute “water pix” and can make the right river choice for our participants on that day before setting of on the trip.
