An enjoyable excursion - My guide Kiki was truly fluent in English. The waterfall itself was beautiful and fun. We stopped at a local restaurant which was maybe the best food I have had so far this trip!

Spectacular morning with Watt at the Sticky Waterfall - My wife and I had a wonderful morning at the Sticky Waterfalls, with our guide Watt. Visiting in the morning was ideal as we climbed the water falls before all of the larger crowds arrived. Watt picked us up from in front of our hotel in a new Isuzu MUX as well which made for a comfortable ride for the tour. Watt was super friendly and accommodating, sharing details about living in the Chaing Mai area which was really interesting. After the waterfalls we stopped for a delcious Khao Soi lunch at a local hangout. All in all it was a really good tour with an amazing guide. Thanks again Watt!

Unique fun experience for the family! - The sticky waterfall is a unique experience and fun for our family of four. It is a little over an hour drive from Chiang Mai (guide picks you up) and our guide Kiki took us through the waterfalls and then we had an hour to explore on our own before heading to a local restaurant for lunch and back to the hotel. We did a half day tour. We had the waterfalls almost to ourselves for the first 30 min before the crowds showed up.

Beautiful nature experience in Chiang Mai! - Our guide (Kiki) was very friendly, and told us all the tips and tricks and what to watch out for while climbing the waterfall. After the explanation, he let us on our own and let us freely explore. We met back at the car at a specific time. Afterwards, we stopped at local restaurant for delicious food! During the trip, Kiki also provided water, plus his English was excellent. 10/10 recommend to anyone staying in Chiang Mai!

Great experience, great guide - The waterfalls were absolutely worth it. Full of beauty and photo opportunities, it was a highlight of our trip to Thailand. The local lunch was among the best meals we had in Thailand, and they even remembered and accommodated our unique dietary restrictions. Additionally, Kiki was a wonderful tour guide. On the long drive we had interesting, in-depth conversations about Thailand and, specifically Chiang Mai. He was always happy to explain, ask about us. We left feeling like we'd made a new friend. Highly recommended!

Excellent Excursion - This tour was a highlight of our time in Chiang Mai! Our guide Kiki was superb - he was timely in picking us up, shared lots of information and history about the area, and expertly escorted us around the sticky waterfalls. We were the first to arrive as well, which gave us a more private experience at the falls. Kiki also heard our interest in getting local Khao Soi and took us to a favorite spot of his - so delicious! We loved having Kiki as our guide, and we would strongly recommend him for future trips.

Very nice - fun to do, just be careful, before you know it you will fall, first start by climbing up from the bottom. (our son fell hard)

As fun as they say - Beautiful forest and waterfalls. Easy to get around to each and they are as advertised; sticky and super fun. If you and:or your family can handle lots of “steps” then this is a fun activity.

Don't use Viator – go directly through local tour companies instead! - The Viator customer service experience was genuinely terrible. We accidentally made a booking for the wrong date, but upon realising messaged the company to request changing to the intended date. There was still the same availabilities on that day, however, because we'd mistakenly booked for the next day it was within the non-refundable period and we were entitled to absolutely no changes or refunds. I understand it was our initial mistake, but given there was still tour availabilities every day for a week as well as on the day we actually wanted to go, we couldn't understand why just changing the date was not allowed – especially given the amount we'd spent on it. Luckily, the local tour group that Viator was working with were much more understanding and were easily able to help us move the date with no difficulty. Hence, I highly recommend using TakeMeThere directly rather than going through a third-party, frankly greedy and money-hungry corporation like Viator. Cheers.
