Caves and Kayaking - A very special day, the tour inside the temple was very nice, made even more beautiful by the professionalism and knowledge of our guides! THE next kayak ride was beautiful! A little tiring but very nice, an experience that I recommend to everyone!

Guides make this trip extremely fun - My first time kayaking (in my 50's) and had a great time. Guides are very good at teaching how to kayak and very patient while everyone masters the skill. Cave is very interesting and a different experience than typical temples.

Fun cave and kayak excursion - Great experience visiting the cave and temple. Very unique to see the cave system and lots of bats. Afterwards, we kayaked along the river which was very peaceful and even beginners in our group did well. The staff took extra care to explain how kayak and even took a lot of photos during the excursion and then shared with us afterwards.

Action, beauty and relaxation. - Kayaking was so fun. A bit of action and then a bit of calm. The scenery here in Chiang Mai makes me want to live here forever. Everything was beautiful, cave, surrounding area, kayak route, etc. Cave had harmless bats, spiders, crickets and wonderful ambiance. If you like a little action and excitement, this is definitely a good tour for you!

Chiang Mai Cave and Kayaking trip Awesome - Cave Trek and Kayaking trip was awesome. The Chiang Dow Cave was really huge and really interesting. Our guide Danai and the local guide were excellent. I was a little more than anxious about my first kayaking trip since it is the rainy season and the water is moving. Danai was very clear and gave great instructions. I was amazed at how quickly I picked it up because I am not athletic. We had a great day and would recommend this activity/company highly.

So good I wanna do it again! - First time to kayak and I couldn’t have been in safer hands. Our guides gave us the best intro on how to kayak and made sure that we were all comfortable and confident althroughout the experience. The cave tour was equally as exciting. Overall, an amazing day!

A great day out! - The tour was amazing and the guide was very friendly, funny and told us a lot about the sites we were exploring. Because the atmosphere was so relaxed and we were in a small group (4 people) it all felt more like a day out with friends than like a tour. The cave was breathtaking and we got to walk around and explore at ease for quite a while. The kayaking was really well organized and the river route had very nice scenery all along the way. We had some very tasty Pad Thai for lunch too! All in all I can recommend this tour and would definitely do it again!
