What is the difference between the standard tour and the trekking option?

The standard tour (with English or Chinese-speaking guide) follows a scenic driving route with short walks, ending around 17:00. The trekking upgrade adds a roughly two-hour mountain trail hike and a bird-watching session with binoculars provided, returning around 18:30.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No — your mobile e-voucher is accepted. Simply show it to your guide at pickup.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

In cases of extreme weather, the tour may be cancelled or the itinerary adjusted for safety. If the tour is cancelled, you will be notified and offered a rescheduled date or a refund in line with the cancellation policy.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Yes, though children must be accompanied by a paying adult at all times. The Angkha nature walk is a gentle boardwalk suitable for most ages; the trekking option involves a more demanding trail.

Where exactly does the tour start — do I need to make my own way anywhere?

No. Hotel pickup is included from your Chiang Mai accommodation. You do not need to travel to a central meeting point.

Is lunch suitable for vegetarians?

The itinerary includes a Thai lunch, but specific dietary requirements are not confirmed in the tour data. Contact the operator after booking via the customer service number on your e-voucher to flag any dietary needs.
