Nice trip down river - Everything was set up for us on this trip. That made it great. After a 15 min ride, we were on the river. Our guide made sure we all had a good experience by moving back and forth between everyone and explaining where we were and what we were seeing. Well worth the time and money.

A Kayaking Delight - It was a peaceful paddle on a beautiful night with the shadows of the trees accompanying us. The trip was well organized and the guide and staff were more than competent making for a drama-free experience. Kayakers Don’t miss this opportunity.

Guide with a Gift - Hands down most enjoyable part of the excursion was our guide! Great staff all around but he made the trip!! Loved seeing a quiet side of Chaing Mai night life but not sure I would go in the water when I could see it 🤪. Our guide was informative, helpful, very funny and personable and I am sad we didn't think to get a picture with him, or write down his name! Would come back for another adventure with him!!

Lovely quiet paddle down the Ping River - On-time pick-up; the guides stayed with the group and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. It's my second time kayaking with them and will go again! I wish we had started earlier to enjoy the sunset because we launched after the sun had set.

Enjoyable peaceful evening - I am not an experienced Kayaker, this is a leisurely trip on the Ping River, The trip delivers what it says it will a chance to see Chiang Mai from the water. As you enter the city you see many nice buildings that are lit up at night. This is a good way to get out and spend a peaceful evening. Enjoy

Almost 5 stars for night kayaking - This was a highlight of my time in Chiang Mai. Our guide, “Jane”, was OUTSTANDING. For him, his expertise, knowledge, patience and personality, I give 5 full stars. I told him that had only kayaked once before and he was careful to stay near me while on the water, helping me feel safe and confident. The only issue I had was the fact that Trip Advisor did not accurately advertise the price of the excursion and I had to pay additionally on site. This is not how trips should be handled and I would have appreciate the website being transparent. Othetwise, I much enjoyed the evening.

A bit boring - Pick up was as planned. The kayak trip itself is fairly boring, very little to see along the way. For an inexperienced kayaker this would be quite hard, it is over 1 hour long.

Terrible experience - I do not recommend this to anyone! Not only was it not a pleasant ride and physically challenging, but the staff kept making inappropriate and rude comments to all my friends. Having in mind that they receive tourists from all around the world, the company and staff were not culturally aware and kept making us pay fee after fee that was not disclosed beforehand. Terrible experience.
