Chiang Mai: Aventure Vélo exclusive au Lac Huay Tueng Tao

Nous avions choisi le parcours 7b qui nous promettait une balade dans la nature et autour d'un lac. Malheureusement les 3/4 du circuit se déroulent en ville et au bord d'une quarte-voies. Le point de chute est sympa mais globalement ce circuit est trop cher.

Ce fut une excellente balade à vélo jusqu'au lac, notre guide Ay était super sympa et a égayé encore plus la journée. La balade à vélo était de faible difficulté, mais elle n'est pas destinée aux débutants absolus, vous ferez du vélo pendant au moins quelques heures.

J'ai été surclassé dans une autre tournée, beaucoup plus difficile mais j'ai adoré! Assurez-vous de vérifier le niveau de votre balade à vélo, car celle sur laquelle je me suis retrouvée était bien au-dessus du niveau des autres personnes de mon groupe (mon choix initial semblait beaucoup plus calme?), Mais heureusement, des balades alternatives étaient proposées. La cascade collante vaut bien une visite, mais la balade boueuse en VTT a été mon point culminant. Grands guides touristiques aussi.

Quelle belle journée passée avec Jay, notre guide qui a très bien parlé anglais et a répondu à nos interminables questions. Nous avons choisi le trajet facile en famille, qui impliquait d’être conduit au sommet de Doi Pui. Nous avons navigué dans la montagne en nous arrêtant dans un village de Hill Tribe, dans le magnifique temple de Wat Suthep et dans un délicieux déjeuner dans un restaurant local. Avons-nous mentionné que Jay est un coureur de trail reconnu mondialement! une journée amusante.

We had a great time last November doing a small cycling trip to Huay Tung Tao. We had a group of about 20 students. The bikes were all in a good condition, set up individually for all our students. We cycled to the lake and around it, then took a rest and ate lunch at one of the many restaurants overlooking the lake. Once we recharged a little, we made our way back to the Convention Centre. I hope we can do it again soon, thanks!

If you're looking for a gentle explore of Chiangmai and the surrounding area then this is the trip for you. We were a group of four 'over 50's & 60's' and were collected by local taxi from our hotel, as arranged and taken to the company shop for a briefing and fitting of safety equipment and bikes. All equipment was first rate and once finished, the helmets and gloves were taken to be washed. Our guide was 'Jane' and we can not recommend him highly enough. He was brilliant ! He explained so much about the area, the Thai people and the countryside as we gently peddled through it. Included in the tour was a lovely Thai lunch and at the end a taxi back to our hotel. An excellent day, highly recommended.

Booked a 1/2 day trip to Huay Tung Tao lake. Bicycle and safety hrlmet condition barely average. Counter service staff below average. Thankfully Guide service is good. Lake is nice and very relaxing. About 40% of journey was among motor traffic so its not suitable for children and inexperienced cyclists.

3 of us cycled with one guide through the streets of Chiang Mai & up to Lake Tung Thao, a 30 km ride. We were picked up from our hotel & taken to the bike shop. We rode a steady pace, stopping frequently for water stops & to learn about temples en-route from our guide. Arrival at the lake involved lunch cooked for us at the cafe& sitting in an open bamboo hut on the waters edge with the mountains in the background. Our guide, Jen, spoke & understood a good level of English. He was extremely health & safety conscious when we rode through the busy city streets, giving clear instructions & whistling at other road users to alert them that we were coming through. An excellent day seeing Chiang Mai from a different perspective.

Thanks for the 3 professionals who guided us the team of 5 bikers. I was the slowest, the worst and the most stupid bikers on Tour #7 (6 November 2013). The guides were extremely patient, caring and motivating. Thanks the team at Chiang Mai Mountain Biking & Kayaks who gave me a great biking experience.

We took the route 7 I think which was suitable for us as we have 2 kids, aged 8 and 11. The bikes have been well used and could probably be better but it didnt matter since our guide Leik (spelling?) was ready to fix and tune them on route. The pick up car was never too far which meant you could leave your heavy things or water in the car. It was also reassuring with kids, in case something went wrong with them. The route was varied and it included a simple yet nice lunch at a local rural place. Leik was very friendly and attentive and encouraged the kids as we went along, helped our son go up the hill and taught the kids a few bike tricks as well. By the way, he spoke very good english as well as some french. We had a great day!
