Amazing

5.00During my short stay in Chiang Mai, I managed to use the company's services twice, specifically hiking and kayaking. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for biking, which will be a reason to come back again. The adventures were interesting and full of emotions. The guides are professionals in their field and it's easy to find a common language with them. In particular, I want to mention the guides Mr. A and his colleagues Mr. Bass and Mr. Golf. Highly recommended
Great experience

5.00I really enjoyed this and highly recommend. Our journey was roughly 4.5km up to the main Temple where we spent around an hour walking around and having lunch, and then 5km to see the three waterfalls. All in all it took us around 5 hours and we went at a decent pace. This experience will be hard work, lots of steep uphill and downhill bits so make sure you where proper shoes and would recommend trousers as when you get near the waterfalls you’ll see mosquitos. It’s definitely worth it as the second half of the hike we barely saw anyone else. The guide was great! Very knowledgable and even found us a few plants we could eat on the way. 100% recommend doing but go into it knowing it’ll be hard work
Great hike in the jungle

5.00A great experience, full of surprise and discovery. I recommend but be careful some portions climb hard. You need a good physical condition, nothing crazy but it is not accessible to all.

5.00We had a fantastic time exploring beautiful forests and waterfalls, and our trek ended in a charming little village. Our guide and driver were both friendly and knowledgeable, making the journey even more enjoyable. The hike requires a fair level of fitness, so be sure to wear sturdy shoes with good grip—and don’t forget to pack some snacks!
Steep, stunning and well worth it

5.00As it’s off season I was the only one on the tour but it was a great day! The guide was lovely and spoke good English and the scenery was stunning. It’s basically all uphill and steep so even as a regular hiker I found it to be hard work, especially in the humidity! We ended the day at a hill tribe village and had local coffee overlooking the misty valley, which was breathtaking. Highly recommend!
Good hike!

5.00Very good experience. Mr. A. Was very friendly and capable. Wonderful time hiking the Doi Suthep mountain, going to the summit and at the end of the hike, enjoying the beautiful cherry blossoms!
“Welcome to the jungle” hike!

5.00Be aware, this is not a leisure hike or a tough hike. It’s a treacherous one! However, it was an unforgettable experience and I personally really enjoy hiking and being active. There were 2 guides that led the hike and they were so lovely! It was also extremely helpful to have them there.
Great hike with beautiful views

5.00Fantastic hike with really great guides! Tony and A were fun and knowledgeable and really made the trip special! Views were fantastic and I really have no complaints at all. Do be advised that some parts of the hike are extremely steep and require a bit of clambering…they would be considered challenging if you’re not relatively fit. This accounts for maybe 10% of the hike overall
Amazing fun tour
