Pleasant river cruise in Chiang Mai including lunch - Very pleasant river trip in the morning. The village is beautifully planted with herbs and fruit/nut/coffee trees/bushes. We booked the 10am trip, not crowded at all. In the village you can also feed rabbits basil for free. The food came with ice cream, water and a herbal drink. The return trip was also included for us, it completely exceeded our expectations!

Fabulous! - Really enjoyed it. They were organized, welcoming and put together a fabulous, informative tour finishing with an amazing lunch. Don't miss out on that part! It was step 14 of the rice planting process!!! Our guide Kao was the best!

Beautiful river trip - This was a wonderful way to spend 2.5 hours. So peaceful, so many beautiful trees along the riverside. The captain was very knowledgable and helpful. When we got to the farm for lunch, he explained about all the different herbs in the garden and how they could medically help you. The dinner was so delicious as was the lemongrass tea and ice cream. No one was trying to sell you anything and there were just 7 of us guests. A very authentic trip, thoroughly recommended ❤️

A good value trip with a light meal included - The trip was about two hours and included a boat trip to and from the farm - a good meal was served with ice cream desert and a soft drink followed by the return trip - a trip up the river with food for less than $20’per head - What’s not to like - if you have a morning to spare - worth a visit.

Great morning on the river - Great communication, picked up on time in an air-conditioned van. Boat driver had good English with good knowledge of the area and great traditional Khao Soi. Would highly recommend.

Wasn’t as expected - It’s basically a boat ride to a location where you have a very quick and basic lunch. No tour or interaction with the guide. Pointless really.

Want my refund asap. - Tide too high, the guy called us just when we arrived in to the meeting point to say that he will not come to pick up us today but can move the activities the day after because of high tide. As everyone knows, no matter what days, tide follow hours during a period so probably they could not make it for few days but surely did not discovered that 5mins before.
