    Great guys running the tours. We did the Himalayan trail which had great views but was tough. Thoroughly enjoyed it and the guides even showed us and let us taste different will fruits and coffee beans.

    The worst, rudest und most unprofessional tour company I have ever encountered! We booked a jungle kayak tour expecting „lots of shade“, „lots of trees“ as advertised in their tour description (see first picture). But what we got: from 11:30 to 14:30 kayaking in plain midday sun (see second picture). They took us to another tour without informing us and giving us the option to back out from something we didn’t sign up for! We were not prepared for 3 hours being exposed to midday sun (as we expected to be in shaded jungle!) resulting in sunburn and heat stroke. Lunch was only after the kayak tour has finished, which was then quite late. Both guide and owner super rude and bad attitude! We were so glad that our friends didn’t join us on that tour, otherwise we would feel so guilty for asking them. They made a comparison that cannot be any truer: „It’s like you book a tour to an elephant sanctuary but they take you to a cat sanctuary justifying it’s in your best interest!“

    Having full day in Chiang Mai and wanting to spend it in the mountain area? Just book their full-day cave and kayak tour. Excellent value, especially for adventurer. Note: wear comfortable clothes but also appropriate for the cave temple. Pack change of clothes for the kayak activities. Driver will always watch your bag as needed. Tour includes hotel pick up/drop-off, tour guides, lunch, cave walk, and kayak. The cave walk was interesting. You will be taken through some big and small paths throughout with bats and some spiders inside. Don’t worry. They’re harmless and docile. Kayak activity was so much fun. You will be guided through different paths with twist and turn but no experience required. Water is shallow so don’t worry about falling in. There are parts where water is so calm you can feel the serenity deep in your heart. Take it slow and enjoy every minute of it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Booked an adventure tour and it was great. The owner is experienced in Kayaking and gave us instructions very well. The guides whom he sent with us were also nice.

    We did the hike/bike tour and loved it! True intermediate level activity with a small group (4 of us). We got to test ride our bikes at the shop before the crew loaded them on the trucks for the ride up the mtn. The hike was secluded and just challenging enough with a pretty serious scramble up a steep hill beside a waterfall. After a quick coffee we jumped on the bikes for a nice long downhill ride. There were some steep and technical parts that would make a beginner nervous so be prepared for the challenge. We met a few vehicles coming in the other direction but we were the only bikers. We had 2 fabulous guides who allowed everyone to go at their own pace. I lost my back brakes early in the ride but one of the guides fearlessly switched bikes with me. We ended at a reservoir where we had a well deserved Thai meal and beer on a floating raft. Lovely time! The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely friendly people who enjoyed their work. We would definitely recommend.

    Kayaking was amazing! Me and a friend wanted a challenging beginners route and they delivered as promised - the MAE WANG ROCK HOPPER TRIP. We went with the owner and a guide, both very nice and funny. They picked us up at the hotel. At the shop we got some instructions. After a 45 ish drive we were at starting point. Once in the water we began with paddling and manoeuvre exercises. The trip itself was very nice through the jungle, with great turns and some fun accelerations. Half way we stopped to have lunch (was included). If you like some adventure: DO THIS!

    We did the full day cave/kayak tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable, easy going and chatty. The caves were fantastic, really interesting (note for ladies: the friendly staff at the caves will give you a sarong to wear if your shorts are above knee). We saw bats and spiders in the caves along with fascinating stalegmites and stalactites. Then onto a traditional hearty and delicious lunch of rice, egg and spicy chicken with a broth. The afternoon kayaking was really good fun. I fell in, husband also fell in trying to help me but the river was so shallow and warm it didn't matter. We saw snakes in the trees and had a visit from two rather large spiders looking for a lift in my kayak! The scenery was stunning. Really good fun, highly recommend. Would do again.

    Amazing! We did the 6-Hour Doi Pui Summit Hike from Chiang Mai. Our guide Jay was really great. The tour was hard, but we succeed!!! You better be trained when you go hiking with Jay in the jungle 😉 Great guide, great day and a great experience. Would recommend it!!!

    Great experience in the water, the team provided reasonable guidance. The guides were friendly, their English was good, and they joked around with the group, especially when we walked through the cave. The stream they took us to was quite safe, so people falling in the water wasn't a big deal. The lunch we had was pretty good.

    So much fun! My friends and I went on kayaking route D today. There were only 6 people total and two wonderful, funny, helpful guides who spoke excellent English and really made our day special. We each had single kayaks. The river was very calm. We didn't see any other boats on the water. Very quiet. There was just enough current that you don't need to paddle much but it feels totally easy. Might be fun to be more rapid, but in the dry season, options are limited. Our guide Joe told us route A was a lot of fun in wet season, more exciting. I'm so glad I went on this tour! Really nice to get out into nature. We saw many birds. Our guides weren't especially familiar with the English names for birds so study up beforehand if that's something that interests you. We saw lots of myna birds of course and three brilliant Java Kingfishers. Some kind of eagle and many other birds I don't know. Take a snack though! Lunch is delicious but not until after 2:00.

    Had a great time on my hike of Mon Long peak (minus the biking downhill option) with my guide Sakchai. We talked a lot about hiking in Nepal and he's a great lover of the outdoors. Aidan the owner was great as well and he's been running this company for over 13 years. The hike itself was pretty steep. Took me 3 hours for just 6.5km and I have average fitness level. Doable in Adidas running shoes lol. If you're too tired to bike downhill, you can take the truck back down heh. Saves the knees too. :D

    Great trip, was different itinerary to the one I purchased but manager dealt with my complaint well. Amazing guide, great knowledge and fun to be with. Good quality bikes with superb brakes.

  • 5/5 Yasmine A. 1 year ago on Google
    A and Tui, our hiking guides in the jungle, made the experience unforgettable. They had the best patience with all our questions, explaining everything about the nature, animals and history along the hike. On the temple and village they also helped us interact and created a very enjoyable experience. It was one of the best days in chiang mai, we highly recomend it.

    Great company to take a trip down the river with! Knowledgeable and helpful guides, good equipment and nice owner.

  • 5/5 Nick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Aidan and his team were super easy going and trustworthy from minute one. They took 3 of us on a private kayak trip down a local river where we got to see elephants in their sanctuary and on the banks of the river. Kayaked through rapids and bush whacked through trees. Highlight of my Thailand trip so far and I will be returning for more. Super affordable and professional Nick.

    I have booked hike and bike advanture at hostel. My guide was mister A! Such a friendly and knowledgeable person. He was absolutely perfect and I have learnt a lot from him, he was taking pictures and videos and adjusting tempo to me. Everything went smooth and Enjoy myself. What have left bitter taste and my lips, is the end of the trip, when I other tourist did only bike trip. So I did twice as them. But there was writen and leaflet that we could swim. Soonest after my lunch I have jump to the water they told me I have to leave. Guys I have paid money for trek and bike(not just bike). So next time don't rush those people who do bike and trek and let them enjoy they time by the lake and do not transport them at the same time with people who are only biking. It can ruin such a amazing experience. On the other hand my Kudos to mister A. Even it is not that rush I would give it five for sure.

    Jen, one of the kayaking instructor and guide, shared with us interesting stories of the Chiang Dao cave. It was an easy walk during the dry season, and he showed us a video of the same spot during the wet season. He challenged us to stand and balance on the kayak like stand-up paddling in the calm river waters (knee length during dry seasons) and many of us did (including a young boy who came with his mom). Other kayaking instructors also helped us to navigate when we got turned around by the waters at certain junctures. The lunch was a simple one and can be made vegetarian upon request.

    We were only a small party of 3 guests and "the Chief" himself, Aiden - owner of the company. Already the briefing assured me that we are in highly professional hands. We got all the theoretical part explained as well as the technical part. After a rather long ride of 90 min (with a short stop to buy snacks) we arrived at the starting point. Once more, Aiden explained to us how all works and what we have to watch out for and be careful. Once in the river, we fed a few minutes of practicing before we head off down. Nature is wonderful, from Dschungel to orchards to papaya and mango farms, you see it all. We so abundant bird life (herons, kingfisher, and many more) and butterflies and dragon flies in all colors! After 2h we stopped for lunch (great Thai chicken stir fry with rice and veggies) and then went on for the next 2 h. The terrain become more forest like and we had a few sharp curves and minor rapids ( I don't think you call them rapids - they were too small but still fun - sort, am not an expert). Over all, this trip would rate 12 put of 10, if only it would have been a bit close to town. But trust me, if you bear the ride- you get rewarded with a wonderful scenic clad 1.5 river kayak experience! The next day was mountain biking: It was not my first MBK trip - but definitely one of the best! The briefing held was highly educative and professional, never the less with a good pinch of humor. Listening to the briefing already assured me that we are in highly professional hands! The bikes we got were used, but top of the range! The staff immediately changed break cables from left to right and vis versa if the biker was used the other way around. We started on 1100m altitude (if I remember correctly), in the mist, above Chiang Mai near the mountain palace, crossed through a picturesque village with scenic hanging gardens full of flower beds in all colors and then gradually biked up to 1580mA. At times it was steep and difficult, but also challenging and fulfilling! I thoroughly enjoyed the "hard work" part! The 2 guides were alway near but and helped with advises and guidance. Afterwards we had a great 10-12 km downhill, first through Dschungel, then lychee orchards and farms. We took it easy and stopped here and there. Back at the car park we were offered to take another 10 road trip to the restaurant, wich part of us accepted. It was of course different to the MB track, but still very rewarding because you come across villages, schools and temples. Gradually back into real life! The end was a great meal (Glaces chicken on steamed rice with morning glory and a bowl of soup) The ride back to town was short And fast - in spite of the traffic. We were 7 participants and 2 guides and got a great connection on this trip - almost like after a bonding or team building exercise... Jayjay and team, thanks for a wonderful day!
