Fulfilling day trip including a boat tour, temple visit and climbing up Bua Tong

Small group, very friendly and knowledgeable guide, very pleasant experience. Beyond the obvious highlight of climbing the sticky waterfall (Bua Tong), I also loved the calm and relaxing boat trip as well as seeing a local fruit market.

If you want a great time in Chiang Mai then request Saman as your tour guide and sticky waterfalls is a must do.

This tour is so much fun and what really makes this tour amazing is because we had the best tour guide of Thailand. Saman is so wonderful, thoughtful, polite and respectful of our time and space. The sticky waterfalls is our favorite thing to do and we wish we had gone to the very bottom of the falls before we walked up. The hike up was very easy and super fun.

Best experience ever!!!

Saman was an incredibly enthusiastic and dedicated tour guide. He is very kind, warm, and thoughtful. Throughout the trip, he took wonderful care of my little family and paid attention to every small detail. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment. His kindness and genuine concern meant so much to us. Because of him, our experience felt more personal, relaxed, and memorable. We truly appreciate the care and effort he put into making our trip so special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Great day out.

Brilliant day. 4 or 5 stops during the course of the day. Our tour Guide Tik was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to help with anything we needed. Highlights of the day was the boat ride on the Dam, Followed by the sticky waterfall.

Fantastic day trip - food market, temples, trip up the dam and sticky waterfall. Highly recommend.

Amazing day trip - food market, temples, boat trip and sticky waterfall First stop seeing all the fresh food. Next we stopped at the most amazing temples we have seen. Our guide, Tik, was brilliant with his details of the temples and the history behind varied Buddha’s. Next to Srilanna Dam where we took a boat up the river to see the floating hotel and other accommodation. Amazing beauty all around. Finally the Sticky Waterfalls where you walk/climb using ropes. Not for the faint hearted, but we all really enjoyed it (age range 56-64) A fantastic day and worth the money, but mostly it was made so good by Tik.
