I had such a great mountainbike tour with A, such a funny and nice guide. I really enjoyed the local lunch, I learned so much about traditional northern thai food. At the end of the tour he even showed me around his hometown with a local swimming spot, no tourists there, was such a great experience. 10 out of 10, would do it again any time.

We went on the full kayak trip in early March. It was a wonderful experience. 3.5 hours paddling through the jungle. Lots of sights and sounds and a relaxing experience as well as a good workout. It was low water season so having some kayak experience was useful to negotiate the current and bends but our 2 kayak guides were superb and helped the group so everyone had a good time irrespective of experience. We had a lovely lunch by the river before the last leg of the trip. We are experienced kayakers and loved the duration and challenges of the trip. Its a relaxed trip but at 3.5hrs it needs a little fitness. Less experienced paddlers can do it too. And shorter kayak trips are available including a bat cave visit. We Loved it. Would do it again without hesitation. Couple from UK/Japan

J'ai fait l'excursion mountain bike eagle tour : guides très amicaux et heureux de répondre aux questions qu'on leur pose. Ils sont attentionnés aux participants et a leurs besoins, ils savent s'adapter aux différents niveaux des participants et sont formés et équipés en cas de besoin L'excursion offre de belles vues sur le paysage local il faut juste ne pas hésiter à freiner pr avoir le temps de les observer :) L'agent d'accueil était aussi a l'écoute et patiente pour nous expliquer les différentes options possibles et faciliter notre choix . Les explications avant départ et avant sont claires et complètes Les équipements sont adaptés et de bonne qualité (velos, casques, protections) Je me suis sentie en sécurité tout le long de l'excursion Merci pour cette expérience, je pense même la renouveller avec d'autres excursions car confiante en cette compagnie

Also ich finde das Preis-Leistung Verhältnis passt hier sehr gut. Wir haben die Höhlenerkundung und Kajaktour gemacht für 2500 Baht. Die Abholung morgens hat super geklappt, die Einweisung und Instruktionen waren gut verständlich auf Englisch. Es gab leckeres Essen und jederzeit Wasser und die Guides waren super aufmerksam ,lustig drauf und haben geholfen wo sie konnten Zudem hatten sie viel Ahnung von dem was sie tun.

We did the cave tour and the kayaking. The guides were very personable and knowledgeable. We had a great time, one of our guides showed us how to find bats in the cave. It is easy to get through the cave, only a couple mildly small spots. The kayaking(my first time) was explained and supported very well. Had a great time would definitely come back and plan on doing more kayaking in the future. Highly recommend. (No kayaking pics, don’t want to be in them, sorry)

I wanted to give 3 Stars but my wife told me to give 4. Here are the reasons. We give 5 Stars for the following. The lady on the counter tried very hard to make an appointment possible. She succeeded to make a trip possible for us (7b) because for days the other trips where fully booked. The guide was very nice and explained everything in good english. Also his guiding through the traffic was very cautious and obviously trimmed for customers not used to cycle in Asian traffic. The lake we went to is a lovely retreat. The lunch delicious. Now the reasons for my 3 Stars. On the lunch water was for free, a coconut we had to pay for. A trip that costs 1550 THB could easily include a coconut for THB 40! The bikes are supposed to be MTB‘s. They are in a sad state and very old and rugged up. After 5 km my left paddle and arm fell of during crossing an intersection. If that happens on a down hill trek - good look to your jewels and banana. The gear had a life of its own. Sometimes taking action by itself. The frontbrake was poorest. Not a good idea in a down hill situation. The second part of the trip after the lake goes through heavy traffic. The fumes where no fun at all.

We did 2 activities with this Activity Vendor through Agoda. We were a family of 4 with 2 teens. The Kayaking in the evening is exhausting and you need the physical fitness to go through 6 kms, there’s no stop overs. It’s beautiful view and peaceful, but our guide was sick and we needed to help him load the kayak and fixing seats which was tiring after the activity. I wonder if any other group were made to do this. Our next activity was hiking to Doi Sutep Buddha temple and please be educated that beyond the Wat Phlat which is a temple midway it’s very steep and you need to be a regular hiker or with HIGH physical fitness to finish it. Our guide Jane was very helpful and supportive of us finishing the activity and he adjusted to our needs.

We had a great time kayaking around the Chiang Mai canal. It was our first time kayaking at night so it was a unique experience for us. We got to see all of the city lights as well as the Christmas and New Year’s lights. Our guide was very friendly and gave us some insight to his life in Chiang Mai

Went for the downhill mountainbiking, route #3. The good part: the route is interesting, mostly jeep tracks and a couple short stretches of singletrack with a couple of steep technical bits that can be bypassed if you're not up for it. So all in all a nice sightseeing tour through the hills, but not as challenging as one might expect from an "advanced level DH tour". This is my first season of mountainbiking, so that was actually fine for me. The guide was a really nice and friendly guy, too. The bad part: we completed the ">3 h ride" under 2 hours; the "high quality well maintained mountainbikes" are actually very rudimentary hardtails with basic level components, see the photos. The sticktion force on my fork felt about as high as the preload (which was set too high for my weight anyways), the bottom bracket had lots of play, which made it feel like a wheel is about to come off. The brakes seemed pretty fresh tho, and the drivetrain adjusted well enough - did not have particular issues shifting. So all in all, the bike did what it was supposed to, but was far from "high quality" and "well maintained"

I did the 2 day Mae Ping kayaking tour recently and had a fantastic time with my friends! Everything about the process was easy and well communicated. This made our days very relaxing, especially considering we didn’t have much kayaking experience and were therefore a bit nervous. For our 1st day we were with another group and the instructors were very attentive as we got to grips with the river, making sure we learnt what we’d need for the 2nd day. We then spent the night in a glorious guest house and Aidan (our instructor) made sure we were well fed and comfortable. We then set out for our 2nd day which was just us and Aidan. The trip was fantastic! Aidan showed us his favourite sections and trees to kayak under, and we stopped for a swim halfway. I would recommend this tour to anyone who’s keen to learn and enjoys the beautiful nature of Mae Ping.

Our group of 8 has an amazing day with Aidan and his team! We visited the most amazing Wat complex with one of their guides who was incredibly knowledgeable. He was great at sharing info and following our lead on timing! Then we headed out kayaking through a peaceful, serene national forest. The whole guide group was friendly, knowledgeable and safety focused. Aidan was great! He took the time to understand what we wanted out of the day and made sure he and the rest of the team delivered. The staff to guest ratio was awesome, and the whole team was professional and fun. Highly recommend.

Did the night kayak on our last night in Chiang Mai and it was perfect. It was peaceful, interesting and refreshing. Our guide was interesting and explained all the things we saw as we went along. We loved it l, it was a highlight for us.

Byliśmy na wycieczce do jaskiń połączonej że spływem kajakowym. Spływ był krótki i prosty, mimo to nie udało się uniknąć paru wywrotek. Z kolei bardziej doświadczeni uczestnicy mogliby popłynąć szybciej, dłużej i dalej. Zalecam podział grup i tras kajakowych wg doświadczenia. Lokalni przewodnicy bardzo pomocni, ale ich szef nieco zbyt zestresowany.

The cave and kayaking trip itself was rather pleasant. The cave with a temple inside is quite interesting. However in my opinion the kayaking group was too big for three guides. They had to keep shouting instructions and at some points it was difficult to hear them. The guy in charge is not as funny as he thinks, and his "sarcastic" remarks don't help when someone is already in water. Since there were no requirements for this trip, the skill level varied a lot, there were some kayak flips. The local guides in turn were very sweet and supportive, in my opinion they saved the trip. Second part of the kayaking route was peaceful, but at the beginning were some sketchy moments.

My husband and I booked a private guide and hiked the monk's trail. Our guide, P 'A' was super friendly, thoughtful, and informative. The temples and ruins are a must see, and the waterfall trail is well worth the extra stop. Highly recommend these guys for their guided tours!

Nous avons effectué l’excursion « the eagles routes » d’une durée de 3h de descente en vtt en plein milieu de la montagnes et des plantations de café. Une 1h de montée en 4x4, avec des virages je précises Je remercie nos deux guides d’une incroyables amabilité. Les vélos sont de bonne qualité et les équipements de protections sont fournis. (genoux et coudes) Organisation parfaite, avec repas du midi au bord d’un lac. Dommage que les équipements de protection soient vétustes. Pour du vélo de descente le staff devrait nous fournir des dorsales. Sinon c’est cool vous pouvez réserver sans souci.

Did the kayaking and caving tour with our 2 kids. Guides were professional and funny. We had a lot of fun. This tour was suited to young kids, and the river was very calm. They do a safety and instructional orientation at their office prior to leaving which is very informative. A solid tour operator. *just expect to be back to your hotel late … the tour with all the transports ended up being 10hrs long (don’t expect to catch a flight after … we narrowly made our flight after a mountain biking tour 15years ago with this company). Highly recommend this tour operator.

Net terug van "downhillen", met gidsen Jane en Da nai. Met nog 3 Italianen. Een leuk ploegje, verschillend van niveau maar dat ging prima. Door de regen was het her en der wat glad, maar dat gaf geen echte problemen. Cha cha dan maar, rustig aan. Complimenten aan de gidsen, gingen leuk om met iedereen, stoppen bij een mooi uitzicht, uitleg fruit, Koffiebonen, etc.. Lekkere , late , lunch bij het meer. Mijn man wilde graag helemaal terug fietsen, rest lekker met het busje.. regen.. Da Nai reed met hem mee.. ze waren zelfs eerder terug dan wij...

Did the Doi Suthep downhill no. 13 ride on 24 October. Was exhilarating and I felt like I was 8 years old again! 🤣 Luckily I am an experienced mountain biker because it certainly was NOT for beginners!! We hiked 3 hours up which was moderate to challenging, then did a 24km bike down hill single track , with some impressive switch backs & terrain. Lots of rain recently so it was fun having some river crossings & muddy pools! Some people turned back as it was fairly challenging & chose to drive down with the back up vehicle. The guides were amazing & helpful & always checking on everyones safety. There were a few falls in group but luckily we are all pretty padded up with protective gear. I would do it again in a heart beat ❣️ highly recommend it!!, but don't entirely trust the grading of fitness level 🤣😂 If they say it's a little spicy, trust me it's very spicy!! 🤣😂

Eine der besten Touren die ich in Chiang Mai gemacht habe. Ich hatte bereits in 2023 die Einsteiger Flusstour gemacht und war so begeistert dass ich sie bei meinem diesjährigen Urlaub in Chiang Mai direkt noch einmal gebucht habe. Vielen Dank an das professionelle Team und vor allem an unseren Tour Guide Joe mit dem ich auch dieses Mal wieder eine tolle Kayak Tour erleben durfte. Ich komme gerne wieder 👍😊

Одно из немногих мест в Таиланде, где можно получить впечатляющий опыт горного велосипеда. К сожалению я был не в сезон и сложные трассы были не доступны. Пришлось довольствоваться более простыми маршрутами. Но это только повод вернуться снова.

I did the down hill biking (route #3). The guide was super friendly and professional. The equipment was good, they provided helmets and protectors for arms and legs. Our guide gave us important tips for the ride. We finished in a nice lake where we swam and had lunch. IMPORTANT NOTE: it is not only down hill. There are some up hill part that where very very difficult (and I’m pretty fit…). Would recommend!

Had a really fun experience on the hike and bike in Doi Sukothep. The heat and gradient of the hike was tough but a nice challenge. Biking down was great too. Danai the guide made the experience really good, accommodating to the fitness/experience levels in the group and was a personable guy with great English. Only negative I would say is that although the bikes were good overall (good brakes & suspensions) the drivetrains on some of the bikes needed some maintenance

Chiang Mai is a Mountain bike
paradise, awash with fantastic trails and brilliant downhill runs. Chiang Mai Mountain Biking is Northern Thailand ‘s premier mountain biking Tour Company.

 We specialize in adrenaline packed  Day Trips
from Chiang Mai on a mountain bike. It’s the perfect way to escape the busy
tourist-packed city and experience the fantastic nature of the nearby  forest trails . Daily our trucks depart from
Chiang Mai for the mountain tops where we kit you out with a mountain bike and
descend some fantastic and thrilling routes. Thousands  of hours riding the trail systems of the
Himalayan Foothills above Chiang has given us the edge to show you the most
beautiful and interesting routes, some  only accessible by mountain bikes. Trip 1 for example, our 4X4
Truck takes us to the top of the mountain (1600m), allowing us
over 1200m downhill elevation change. You will meet isolated Hill Tribes,
experience the true jungle of Northern Thailand and brush up on your riding
skills with our accompanying instructors. We accept riders of all abilities in
good physical condition and help match you with riders and conditions.

River kayaking in the Greater Chiang Mai Area and all the way up to Chiang Dao offers a chance to explore the unspoiled natural beauty of Northern Thailand and to kayak off the beaten path. These kayaking programs are suitable for newcomers as well as seasoned kayakers, with natural beauty and silence in mind. While river kayaking is a challenging sport, it doesn't have to be Class 3 (advanced white water) to be enjoyed. Our team has compiled an inventory of the best kayaking locations in Chiang Mai's vicinity, addressing all levels of kayakers.

Our nature-oriented staff enjoys the variety of challenges that the rivers and lakes have to offer, and we're happy to share our experience with our guests. We provide lessons, and these trips are a great way to prepare for swifter waters while learning river navigation and boat handling. If you're visiting Thailand or Chiang Mai for the first time, exploring nature by kayaking and mountain biking should definitely be on your itinerary.

Chiang Mai Mountain Biking & Kayaks is a Thai-American partnership that combines local knowledge with western standard service and equipment. Our director, Aidan, is a former Hawaii resident who has lived in Chiang Mai for 20 years. As a family man, his goal and the company's mission is to make the hidden trails and rivers available to like-minded travelers who enjoy merging with unspoiled nature in a non-intrusive way. We welcome all nature lovers to join us on our kayaking adventures. Thank you, Aidan.
