5.00If you are looking for a serene trip to experience north Thailand nature, this is the tour to go! Kayaking was really beautiful and great view of mountains, definitely recommend in December. Also the Chiang Dao is the perfect cherry on top. Shoutout to Twee and the tour guides đ„

4.00The slide show presentation about how to kayak was too academic to be useful and was a waste of time. No mention was made in the TripAdvisor ad of cave visit in the morning. Also the minibus trip was very long ie 2 hours. Apart from that it was a good experience.
Excellent day out

5.00I had an awesome day out on a three hour kayak trip down the river through farmland and forest. It was so calm and peaceful, with lots of birds to see including a kingfisher. We also saw water buffalo grazing by the river. I had kayaked a few times before but not much and Aiden the guide was very helpful with tips and explaining how to read the river. I would definitely recommend the trip.
Very memorable day

5.00Such a memorable day! So beautiful in the mountains and jungle. We explored the cave and with our skilled guides we really got a hands-on experience of caving. Our guide Golf, was very knowledgeable about all of the history and religious significance of the cave. Tony, our other guide was fabulous about taking photos and encouraging us. Lunch of chicken pad thai was very good. Really enjoyed the kayaking. A little technical for beginners and a couple of people went swimming. Water very shallow. I think they were relieved to cool off. We were given an amazing talk at the very beginning about Kayaking and how to navigate the River. Very thorough. Fabulous day.

4.00There were several bird sightings. The guides spoke wonderful English. The equipment was great. We only saw a water Buffalo farm and a fishers shack in terms of structures - it was so lush!
Amazing experience, fabulous guide

5.00Superb day. Family of 4 (including 2 children aged 11 and 9). We took 2 kayaks out and were out on the water for 2.5-3 hours along an 18km stretch of river. Beautiful scenery - we even saw water buffalo and kingfishers. Jenny the guide was amazing and was a brilliant help with the kids especially. Highly recommended - would do again if and when I come back to Chiang Mai.
Nice floating kayak ride in a quite section of the river

5.00Art was our guide for the day and very entertaining! There were 7 of us in our private tour with 2 guides and we enjoyed every minute. Most of us had limited experience with kayaking, so were a little nervous at first, but quickly became comfortable with the instruction and practice in the small pool area at launch. It was a pretty leisurely float down 13 kilometers of the Ping River. We would have liked to see more wildlife, but still enjoyed the country side and views. We ended at a quite hut with delicious lunch of local favorite food. Would strongly recommend this experience if you have a day to go!
Relaxing experience in beautiful nature

5.00Got picked up at the hotel on time and where welcomed by our friendly and very funny guide Art. He made the day so much more special. On the way to the river we had the opportunity to buy some snacks and drinks. The kayaking is very relaxing. The river is quiet (dry season) and the nature is beautiful. a nice lunch afterwards in the countryside. A very nice day! Donât forget your sunscreen and a hat is great too.
Two great days with awesome guides and beautiful nature!

5.00We had two great days with Art and his team of great guides! Day 1 we did the full day Kayaking trip, and day 2 we did went mountain biking down the jeep trail. Very satisfying experiences: awesome nature, great activities, and a lot of laughs with Art, Tony and all the other guides. Would definitely book again!
An excellent day, fun, challenging and a great experience.

5.00The whole trip was great fun, a bit of a challenge for a beginner like me but the owner and guides got me through it. I was alone but met some great people. Everything is perfectly organised, there were children and teenagers with the group and everyone had a great time and found enjoyment in the day. The kayaks are comfortable and in great condition. We had drinking water in each kayak and a water stop on the way. We stopped to swim and rest a few times. A truly great day. I'm ready to go back as soon as possible.
