Best part of coming to Chiang Mai !!!! - Just finished a full day kayaking down the river. Our guide was spot on, great teacher and I learned lots. Got my confidence built right up before getting too far down the river.
Took lots of pictures and helped us through any tough spots. Have very little kayaking experience I would highly recommend everyone to do this tour... it’s the best way to see the jungle.... passed lots of elephants and had a good lunch at the half way point!
Will be doing another advanced tour in my future
Also you can grab an amazing cup of coffee in the morning from the little shop across the parking lot
10 stars if it would let me !!!!! Don’t leave Chiang Mai without doing this tour !!!!

Fun, thrilling and very well coached - We had great day kayaking down the Mae Wang river today. After pickup at the hotel we were driven to the office downtown. We were given a good, humorous and thorough safety briefing.
The drive up to the river in the red truck was a nice way to meet the group of (in our case) 7 people and 3 guides.
The kayak down the river had some interesting challenges some which resulted in a refreshing dip in the river. Guides were always around to help you out and get you on your way again.
We saw multiple elephants on our way down and the nature floating by us very relaxing. If you are looking for a safe ride with a few thrilling twists, this is the one.
