The valleys of Northern Thailand offer beautiful rivers and kayaking is the best way to explore this scenic and untouched landscape. Chiang Mai Mountain Biking & Kayaks will get you there, professional english speaking guides are at hand to make it happen. So if it is a gnarly downhill ride, a cross country bike tour or a day kayaking through Thailand's beautiful scenery this is the place to start. « less

Biking on the mountain of Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep, which was an exciting and fascinating company. I made biking daytrips with "Mountain Biking Chiang Mai &Kayaks", including the tour "The old smugglers routes" It lasted about 5 hours, sunshine and rain accompanied us. It was hard, very interesting and varied, a fantastic route in the Thailand mountains, cross country and... More

We did this back in 2009, but I always meant to write a review because it was great. Prior to this we had never really mountainbiked and had booked a 'flat' trip with this company. In their office we got to talk with the owner and he convinced us to try the easiest downhill route they offer. (That's #1 -... More

There are so many ways to get down the hill (the tracks were initially formed by hilltribes going up and down the hill) so long as you can ride a bike they'll find a challenging but fun way to get you down. I was lucky to have a private guide (nobody else wanted to ride up hills as well! I... More

A must do for everyone who likes to mountainbike or downhill! Good material (bike en protection) Good english speaking guides. They will choose the right track for your level! Not Boring, not too dangerous.... perfect downhill experience! Small groups, so you get individual feedback. (two or three persons) Very professional organised, very efficient and not too expensive.

Getting out into the wilderness around Chiang Mai is a worthwhile and invigorating activity and there is no better way than with a mountain bike. The scenery is awesome and the routes are varied for rider experience and abilities. They group the riders based on customer preference and then after 30 minutes regroup afer they've seen everyone's style and speed.... More

WOW! How could you rate these guys badly - I guess everyone has a different attitude that gets a different reaction! Lek (our guide) was awesome! Bro - make sure you watch that movie we were talking about "Team america world police" maybe the US marine corps guy will be in there (a puppet version of course!) Anyway - I... More

Just got back from an excellent day kayaking just outside of Chiang Mai. The company pick you up from your guest house/hotel at 8.30 and it's a full day of kayaking until you get back around 6pm. High quality kayaks are used and you get the choice of sit-on tops or touring kayaks. Aidan (the owner) and the guides obviously... More

I enjoyed both the kayaking and mountain biking while in CM with this company. Both are great experiences. They have different tours for every level and was great to get to use such good equipment. No other shop has this in CM. Be a bit flexible with your time as they run a bit late but so does everything in... More

This was a real disappointment. The company was recommended in Lonely Planet and on TripAdvisor, but they were not what they said they were. I was picked up at 0930 and taken back to my guesthouse at 1530. In the intervening 6 hours, I spent just over an hour actually cycling. By the time they had sorted out the paperwork... More

If your ride was to short we are happy to have you come again... an hr to the lake is probably not possible unless you are the worldchampion and know the route really well. More
