Best way (for me) to experience Lake Inle - I took the tour today and it is absolutely worth the money! The bikes are in very good shape, the group was veeery small (aka only me and Sam, the guide), the food is good and plenty and we spent more than nine hours on and around the lake. We went through villages, different landscapes, where invited for tea and escaped the loud motor boats on the lake for a bit. Sam knows people everywhere, he explains a lot and I think he can really adapt the tour to the biking skills of his guests. Still, I think it helps if you're a secure rider, feeling confident crossing some smaller bridges etc - but absolutely not necessary to have any specific mountainbiking skills. To me, this was a perfect day around the lake, a lot more impressive and memorable than the "classic" Inle motorboat tour (that I did the day before).

Perfect day trip around Inle Lake - If you like a bit of adventure and most of all getting away from other tourists then take this tour! My guide Sam was great, answering all of my questions, showing me the best photo spots, introducing me to locals and translating. The bike trip is really fun, but you should be comfortable riding a mountain bike and have same basic skills - trails and bridges are narrow, that’s what makes it even more fun! Food was great, the Kajak tour a chilled ending to the tour. Sam even arranged for the boat to have me dropped off at my hotel. Highly recommended!

See Absolutely Awesome from Climber - To add to my husbands comments- it was a wonderful and a truely authentic experience. The tour guide, named Sam, was great.👍 Sam explained everything and answered any question we had. He made our day perfect as we biked, boated, snacked, lunched and kayaked our way through the many sights, sounds and tastes around Inle Lake. From tea with the locals, snack village, lunch in a stilt house to a gentle bike ride seeing village life. There is too much to mention. Awesome pic. 👍❤️

Absolutely Awesome! - Our guide was Sam, he was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He gave us advise on what to expect and how the day would go and any safety issues to be aware of. Sam did a fantastic job guiding us and he is perfectly suited to the job. The whole day of cycling, boating and kayaking was just excellent. Traditional lunch in one of the stilted properties in one of the many villages on the lake Lots of drinks and snacks along the way and interacting with the locals. It was worth every cent and I recommend this experience, I can’t speak highly enough of the day as there is so much to see and explore!

Never Disappointed with Grasshopper - This was our third trip with Grasshopper, and we’ve never been disappointed. The quality of the experience, condition of the equipment and the service of the friendly guides has always been top notch. On this particular trip Zay Yar and Aung guided us to local villages and through a bamboo forest. There were 2 connections by boat. The “snack” and lunch stops were delicious. And we ended the day with a kayak tour of Nam Pan. The trip was exactly as described - no surprises. The only additional comment I would make is that while the ride was flat and not particularly technical, your child should be comfortable riding a mountain and navigating a single track.

The best way to discover Inle Lake off the beaten track. Amazing day and Grasshoppers are the best! - Oh what an amazing day! If you want to discover the real life around Inle Lake beyond the tourist tracks, then sign up for this tour. Grasshoppers Adventures are amazing. The description of the tour as described by Grasshoppers is spot on, so I won't go through it again. We were looking for a full day of activities, with a chance to be taken down roads we would have never found ourselves, and this is exactly what we did. We had done something similar in Cambodia the year before so had a fair idea of what to expect, and we were not disappointed. The beauty of this tour is that it is designed for small groups. Chris and I (from London) were joined by Paul and Isabelle (from Sydney) and all 4 of us not only enjoyed the tour, but also shared tips on other things we had done during our respective holidays. Our guide was fab. He spoke very good English and told us so much about the real life of Burmese people. So interesting! The snacks in the morning were amazing. So many different dishes, all home made and served fresh. Lunch was just as delicious and in all honesty, the food we ate on that day was the best food we had during our entire 2 week stay in Myanmar. We got to see people at work, kids at school, farmers working the land, and all this in beautiful peaceful surroundings. Do not miss it, it is so so good. Bonus point for Grasshoppers: we didn't even have to arrange for a transfer back to our hotel at the end of the day. They simply dropped us off. 10 out 10 all the way!

Great value for money - We spent a day biking, canoing and boating around Inle Lake with San. A superb way to meet the locals and see their way of life. Always smiling people. Great value for money. A wonderful day. Thanks to San. Niels and Ulla Denmark
