We opted for this trip as it appeared to have the longer walk along the nature trail, and we see very glad we did as this was the highlight of the day. Our guide was excellent and for the walk we were joined by a lady of the Karen hill tribe, as a way of supporting this community. We wed also taken right into the village and found out about the way they lived, why the houses were built as they were and we came away with a much better understanding of the community. We then went to the coffee talk with many other tourists but that was fine. The waterfalls are lovely. This trip appeared more expensive but all our entry fees were covered. My only slight negative comments would be 30mins would suffice at the pagodas, although we did all take the opportunity to get a drink/snsck. The market stop on the way back is a row of stalls all the same but some of our group brought some sweets. I’m a vegetarian and my other half a big meat eater and we both really enjoyed our lunch.
Tour suitable for families with small children, for a walk in the woods and a visit to the local village. The summit in my opinion would not even be worth stopping, you can not see anything. The two pagodas I don't think have any historical charm, they were built in the 90s. Not very good even from an organizational point of view, I waited for the bus 1h.
So glad we picked this tour! Mr. Nine and Pad Thai were very good hosts and safe drivers. Incredible sights and experiences we will remember for a lifetime!
Great experience! The National park was amazing, especially the waterfalls. Our guide, Sammy, did a great job explaining everything. The twin Pagodas visit and the picturesque view were breathtaking.
We spent a perfect day with May who was very kind and who spoke in an easy to understand way for us French bad in English but also for our children of 12 and 13 years old. This day accessible to all offers beautiful scenery with easy hiking, an impressive waterfall and pagodas to see. The program is complete. I recommend.
The walk is worth it. Our guide was very quiet and explained almost nothing about the locations. Apart from that, the trail was nice, the waterfall is pretty.
The experience was really nice, but our guy did not speak proper English, and we felt a little unsatisfied. Apart from them, enjoyed the hike!
Great way to spend the day. Tommy was a great guide and helpful along with Nao. We got to see some really beautiful spots. The guides helped with pictures and were patient along the hike as we got tired. Food duing lunch was delicious. Definitely would recommend booking this tour!!
Very nice experience! Thanks to Nine9 our guide and Tony our driver for their patience, kindness and professionalism:) I recommend
Fantastic day trip filled with nature, culture and local history. Our guide Nine was so informative and professional. Highly recommend.
