Full description

This is a 8-hour experience in Chiang Mai. It is run by Chiangmai Scooter Adventure, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Scooter rental, Guided tour, Visit to viewpoints, Visit to caves and Riding on dirt roads. It does not cover Tips for guides and Alcohol, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Chiangmai Scooter Adventure sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Chiangmai Scooter Adventure before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

  • Visit to viewpoints

We had an incredible day with Anna and Golf! They took us on an adventure that will be the highlight of our Chiang Mai trip. Getting out to see the beautiful countryside, mountains, rivers and jungles outside the city was just what I had wanted. We experienced the thrill of riding the winding roads, crossing rivers, finding elephants, and visiting a Hmong farm community. I absolutely recommend Chiang Mai Scooter Adventure! Thank you Anna and Golf!

I had a really fun day out exploring on the scooter. Anna and Tano were both fantastic people and seem to enjoy sharing the beauty of their country with visitors. I strongly recommend this activity as a great way to take some of the less traveled roads(and streams). Oh, your foot gear will likely get a little wet/muddy so best to leave your designer wear at home - lol

My God, I had an incredible time on this trip. From the moment I showed up (late, overslept) they were welcoming. Tommy, my guide is awesome and also a great photographer! He took some good shots of me and I really appreciate it. I would do it again next day if I had the time. If youre looking for a fun guided motorbike trip do not hesistate to book with Chiangmai Scooter Adventures!
