★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 9 hours · from $141

Review of a private Doi Inthanon tour from Chiang Mai, with waterfalls, hill-tribe trekking, pagodas, rice fields, lunch, and local coffee.

“Beautiful day from start to finish. Bird was very attentive, knowledgeable (he gave us a lot of good recommendations), and genuinely nice - and a very good driver as well. The trekking part was led by a local guide from the tribe, who was also lovely and shared many interesting insights along the way. The trail itself was stunning. We really appreciated having the tour private, as it meant we never felt rushed and could spend more time in the places we enjoyed most. Highly recommended.”
