We had an amazing adventure! Our guide was wonderful. We really enjoyed each part of this tour. The elephant sanctuary was so much fun. Walking with the elephants and their minders and getting g to feed them was very cool. The hike through the forest to the village was just magical. We were very lucky to have great weather and met some really nice people in our group. We loved this day.

Great 1 day experience, very recommended. Early wake up so be ready (7am start). Starts with an elephant sanctuary which is great, you feed the elephants, go with them to the river etc. Second is a temple very high up which is beautiful. Third one is a hike across the jungle where you end up in a small village that cultivate coffee among others, and you try the locally harvested coffee. Great experience overall! We came back around 7pm. Lunch was included, also transportation right from (and to) your hotel.

Long bus ride. Almost 3 hours in the morning. Picked up a couple totally off route. Elephants sanctuary was nice en well organized. Second stop wasn't that great. Last stop, a hike of an hour with waterfalls en beautiful views was very nice. All and all annoying nice trip but much mini-van time.

This was such an amazing experience. “Adam” is the best! He was so informative, funny, and an all-around fantastic tour guide. I would 100% recommend this tour and living green sanctuary to anyone interested.

You have to do this when you get to Chiang Mai. I had the best day here, doing everything from visiting, feeding, and bathing elephants at Doi Inthanon, to hiking through the jungle by the river, and also seeing the mountain top and enjoying the cool breeze. Don't forget to relax at the end of the tour at the hill tribe village and have some coffee and tea. A great way to end the day. Thanks again! I can't wait to come back and do it all over again!

It was great to feed the elephants and we received good instructions to make sure that things ran smoothly. They were very organized with telling us what to expect, giving us delicious pad Thai and taking us to see a temple, waterfall and the highest point in Thailand. We saw more things than I expected and we were picked up from our hotel early.

It was great, loved the elephant sanctuary and the trek thought the jungle was breathtaking. The Pagodas were nice but to be honest and fair a bit overrated.Still a great tour and worth every penny.

The guide was really cheerful, always kept a smile on. It was amazing to see the elephants and how well kept they are. The lunch was amazing.

Nice to see and feed the elephants in the sanctuary. The temple-visit was short but enough. The hiking was the best. The busride was a real pain though. Most of the day you are spending in a hot van on serpentine -roads with a crazy chauffer. The driving is dangerous and just plain stupid. I really can't recommend this due to the driving, the driving distance and the roads.

Great tour with lots to see, but if you get car sick please note you spend hours on very steep, narrow, windy mountain roads. Elephant sanctuary is great, and there is no riding or tricks etc, very respectful to the animals. The hike was amazing! Only criticism would be that the hiking guides didn't speak much English. Be prepared for a solid 12 hour day.
