Absolutely amazing!!! - After booking I was immediately informed by the owner (Adon) that there will be a slight change to the route which was accepted. I was picked from my hotel by A (tour guide)and Rin (driver)really cool and welcoming guys. Cycling with A was amazing, it was cycling with a mate, we had so much fun and laughter that it didn’t seem like a tour. A’s friendly demeanour,character and knowledge are simply priceless. Overall, I’m glad I booked Chiang mai mountain biking and kayaking. Highly recommended!

Great experience from start to finish - Like you I performed my due diligence and assessed the various reviews of this business. Let me be categorical, the post claiming inferior bikes and poor staff is pure, adulterated rubbish. Our bikes were new and certainly not purchase at Walmart. I walked through the storage area on my way to the bathroom and saw no bikes that were of the quality claimed by some moron. Likewise, the safety equipment provided was in good condition. As far as the staff, we found everyone from the owner to our guide to be professional and attentive. The transportation was punctual and without incedent.The tour itself was a blast.The hike up the mountain was an enjoyable ealk and hardly challenging. It was our first time mountain biking and while I found it thrilling my wife found the bike down the mountain challenging. We are 64 and 63 respectively and above average physical condition so the physical exsurtion of the trekking up and the biking down the mountain were not a problem. As pure novices to mountain biking the challenge was navigating the rough terrain while going downhill. We both made it without incident. We highly recommend taking in this activity, it is well worth your time.

Great choice for beginner downhill mountain bike riders - Perfect beginner downhill bike from the national park. The crew was very experienced and gave good recommendations and made sure that safety was the main priority. At the end, there was an excellent Thai lunch at the lake. Highly recommended.

Downhill adventure - This was a fun day if you can ride a mountain bike on gravel trails. It's mostly downhill except for one 400m significant uphill. Bike is good and safety gear was adequate. Lunch good, bring your own electrolyte drink and snacks for energy.

Bouncy but fun run - The guides are really friendly and professional. Spoke English well. The bikes are hard tales and the run is not smooth at all so your body acts as the shocks instead of the bike. I’m an experienced mountain biker and I would say it’s likely an easy run for Thailand but it will be most enjoyable if you have a little experience. If you have your own helmet use it, theirs are a little shady. It’s steep terrain with switch backs and a little uphill/flat. My watch clocked it at about 15kms. I got a little woozy going up in the truck. But over all it’s a super fun run and worth it. Beautiful views along the way.

Get your itinerary in advance - Make sure you confirm where you going and what is in store. We spent over 1.5 hours at Hmong village that seemed really excessive, we were all bored. Additionally, going down hill on a paved winding road with scooters, tuk tusk and cars is not mountain biking. Rather just get a scooter if we were not going to trail ride.
Buyer beware.

Guides were wonderful but the owner skips on maintaining gear, unsafe trip! - Guides were great, bikes were good but owner doesn't maintain the safety gear, the velcro on knee pads was worn away, came lose often - when trying to adjust I crashed (I should have stopped but I was already trailing the group), trip to the hospital was the safest part of the adventure, do not recommend.

Not as expected.... - We booked route #1 (the 'Eagles route') which is advertised as being suitable for beginners. I was somewhat surprised when in the briefing the manager asked if we had done mountain biking before ( we had) and described it as 'quite difficult'. It did not seem suitable for beginners given how steep and rocky it was. The large covering of very dry leaves over hard ground made matters a lot worse. Even when applying the brakes it just carried on skidding down.Several of our group fell off, 1 with quite a serious injury. One lady just go off her bike and walked it down. Even the group doing the more advanced trails described the dry leaves as a big problem and quite dangerous. I guess it depends on the time of the year but i ended up feeling misled about what i had booked. Not exactly fun....I ended up cuts and bruises which impacted the quality of the rest of my holiday. Also, the guide's English was not the best. I had hoped to learn a lot more about the plants in the jungle or the Hmong people for example.Oh well....

Not as advertised - This is anything but a beginner run. Going to the top of the hill the guide said we would do pavement going down hill but after 100 meters it turned into dirt ruts covered in slippery leaves and very steep. I’ve ridden lots of trails and this is a 4 out of 5.
