LONG day - Fun day - This tour took 11 hours to complete - from the time they picked me up until they dropped me back off. That was unexpected, since it said 5 hours on Viatour.
However, the trip was really good! There are a lot of direction given, but you really don’t have to be a pro to do this trip. The river is pretty easy. You may fall out, you may not, but you will get wet regardless.

Chaing Mai river kayaking - The guides where great! It was an all day excursion. Very peaceful, great way to get away from the crowds. The guides were informative and very helpful.

Super - Great day!
We were given some useful tips & advise on using the kayak.
The kayaking was really straightforward, pretty gentle all the way. The guides were extremely helpful & made you feel relaxed & safe.
Saw some beautiful birds along the way.

Fun day trip from Chiang Mai - paddling, birds, and lunch! - Had a fantastic jungle kayak adventure with guide Aidan today - a wonderful mix of drifting along and navigating some rapids! I was new to using a one-person kayak but Aidan took the time to explain what to do both before we got in the water and as we were paddling along. We saw and heard the bird life (including a vibrant kingfisher), drifted past elephants from the sanctuaries, and stopped for a delicious lunch half way. I felt safe with the guidance and equipment and would happily recommend this team for a nature escape while in Chiang Mai!

Wonderful experience - A wonderful experience in a picturesque landscape. Very good and professionel organized, good plenty of water. Awesome crew. For me it was one of the best trips I have done in Thailand.
Just dont forget the sunscreen/sunprotecting clothes, towel, sunglasses, hat and good shoes to walk a few steps in the river and in the mid.

Gentle and beautiful adventure - Amazing. Our guide and driver were very kind and knowledgeable. This is the perfect way to get out into the countryside. Our guide had years of experience and guided us through the faster moving parts like an expert. Very very enjoyable day. Thank you.

A great exp - We are two travellers from Germany and made this trip for the second time. A couple of years ago we made the same trip with the same company. The experience was great - both times!
There is a perfect transfer to Chiang Dao Valley north of Chiang Mai. You get all safety instructions you need. Even not experienced people can enjoy this fabulous tour.
We highly recommend this trip.

I want to do this again! - What an amazing tour. I got picked up at my hostel and we were given a pre-kayak meal to ensure we had enough energy to make it through the day. Then we got a clear briefing and we were off. The river gave us astonishing views of the Thai jungle, as well as some challenging but doable obstacles to overcome. It was very beginner friendly, though be prepared to get wet if your motor-skills are questionable ;). I fell in once, but we had a laugh about it and the river temperature was enjoyable. After the kayaking we shared lunch (which can be catered to veggie/vegan diets) and we drove back to Chiang Mai. During the drive we had a good laugh together and I got some great tips from the guide about what to do in South East Asia. Couldn’t be happier, thanks for a great time!

Good, looking for some details - The trip was fab. The staff were excellent. The group was excellent too.
Though I had requested several times to get the email address of the co travellers, the company did not provide. Hope they will provide soon.
