Memorable day trip with a great guide! - We had an unforgettable day with Austin as our guide. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to a zipline course, which included a trolley ride/cafe with great views of the forest. Then, we headed to a nearby village and bought handicrafts from local tribes (great presents for loved ones back home). Austin was able to provide cultural context and translate as needed. The lunch restaurant they took us to was excellent and accommodated our dietary restrictions. Finally, we spent 1.5 hours climbing up and down the waterfalls. Austin was great about taking pictures and answering any questions we had. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting a fun day trip from Chiang Mai!

Wonderful adventure - We had a lovely day with our guide Danny. He took us ziplining, which was fun. The staff will take you to fly between the trees and take videos and photos. After, Danny brought us to the long neck tribe. He explained very detailed about their history & culture. He loved to answer all my questions. Then we went to the creamy waterfall, many walked up the waterfall. It looked hard because of the stream, but the rocks were not slippery and there was a rope to hold, so it ended up being easy. We walked in the waterfall twice. Last he took us shopping in a local market. We tried some local fruits and snacks that we haven’t seen elsewhere. It was a memorable day, and we had lots of fun. Thanks to our guide Danny, will recommend.

Best private tour! - Pop was so attentive, made sure we had plenty of water and even bought us a snack at the local market to try! Was on time picking us up, explained everything and answered all our questions along the way. The Long Neck village, zip lining, sticky waterfalls and the local market were all so much fun and educational! Highly recommend!

Worth it! - Our private driver/guide Puma was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and so nice! She explained things to us along the drive and watched our stuff for us while we did the activities. She even took photos for us while we were on the zip lines and the waterfall. The drive was super bumpy but she knew shortcuts and was an excellent driver. Ziplining was simply amazing. One person in our group has a weak heart and struggled to make it back up afterwards and one of our guides piggy backed her all the way up. He was awesome and so nice!! The Bua Tong Waterfall was so fun and climbing up was a a totally unique experience. And finally the Karen village was heartbreaking and humbling to visit, but we thoroughly enjoyed getting to learn a bit more about the varying cultures and ethnic groups in Thailand. This was definitely worth the big price tag. We had the best day!

Fun filled and activity packed day. - We had more and more fun with each passing activity. The ziplines are a bit too chill for my liking, but the staff were super prpfesdional and made the experience a pleasant one. The long neck village was very interesting if a bit too touristy. Definitely pick the local lunch option as you will have a delicious experience in a beautiful setting. The waterfalls are definitely the cream of the crop of this experience as you can climb them quite comfirtably. Finally the market bustling with activity and full of local delicasies. Our guide Dany was very nice and had many interesting stories. Our driver - Madame Pim got us everywhere safely and in style. An altogether great experience.

Personal and Friendly Host for Fun Guided Tour in Chiang Mai - My tour of Chiang Mai was amazing! My guide, Puma, was what made it so special. She was so fun, and we were all laughing together all day. She told us the histories and stories behind everything we did today and made it personal and interesting. Like when it was time to eat lunch, she didn't just recommend we try Khoa Soi, she told us how it's a special dish that's native to Northern Thailand. She helped us order and continued to tell stories with us throughout lunch. It was like going on a vacation with a close friend. I was so excited to go ziplining at the Phoenix Adventure Park, however, the Bua Thong Waterfall ended up being the best part of my tour. Puma took us first to the Seven Colors Cold Spring and explained the histories of the water there. It made it even more magical. I am so glad I got to make these memories with Puma today. I will never forget her. If I ever come back to Chiang Mai, I hope I get to see her again. Thank you so much for the best day ever!

I highly recommend the zipline - The zipline was amazing, the whole family felt safe and had great time. Lunch was chicken and rice, not what we expected. The guide was a nice person who made some inappropriate comments about personal life for my husband and kids. Unfortunately we had a very bad weather, we could not enjoy the waterfall, and all was rushed. I only would recommend the zipline at Phoenix adventure.
