  My friend and I joined MAO for 5 days and we had the most incredible, unforgettable experience. We communicated with Byron a few months before our trip as we worked together to design our 5 day itinerary that catered to our needs. He was very detailed and even informed us on other excursions and transportation logistics around Myanmar. MAO is fuelled by the passion to invest back in the local communities of Shan state in Lashio and venturing into places filled with nature and peace. All the areas we visited were safe as they were carefully chosen based on their predictability and political stability. We did river treks, hiking, motorbiking (we rode on the back of Byron's and Alexs bike), waterfall jumping, caves, and stand up paddle boarding. Although some parts are a little bit challenging, the guides will look out for you every step of the way and offer a steady hand. We were always kept well fed during the day with delicious snacks (eg. killer homemade banana bread and granola!). The village overnight stays were the highlight of my trip. I was able to experience the hospitality and warmth of the local people as they cooked amazing breakfast and dinners for us with fresh ingredients from their garden and opened up their homes for us to sleep in. Being able to see how they live and drinking tea with them around the fire while hearing their stories led me to realize the importance of MAO's vision and mission statement. I highly recommend partnering with MAO if you want to explore, be adventurous, understand the local communities a bit better, and see jaw dropping views. I guarantee you will gain nothing short of a positive experience if you are in filled with wanderlust. I will definitely be back to visit!

  This has got to be one of the most amazing experiences that I've ever had in my life. Lashio is just an amazing place to explore and myanmar adventure outfitters is the place to go if you would like to explore places that are Off The Beaten Path. It was an amazing 5 days that we spent with this group the first two days were doing a interesting hike and a river trek which had just the perfect amount of adventure. The next three days was spent doing stand up paddle boarding, a few different treks, riding on the back of motorcycles, exploring some amazing waterfalls and staying at some villages. I think it's the part where you stay at a village and experience what it's like to live there with those different tribes really makes the trip. Really wanted thank Byron and Alex for being amazing guides on the trip and this company is so awesome so I highly recommend that you use them if you want to explore an epic area of Myanmar.

  Awesome!
  
  Had an amazing time touring around on motorbikes for the past 3 days with MAO. Alex was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the area, safety conscious and a lot of fun.
  
  Would also like to say a big thank you to the whole team at MAO for being so great, from the booking process, organizing my bus ticket out of Lashio and cooking a pizza for when we returned!
  
  I will be back for sure!
  
  Highly recommended!!

  A MUST when in Lashio
  
  I went on a two day mountain biking tour with Alex and was stunned by the beauty of the waterfalls that he and Byron took us to. Lashio and its surroundings are amazing and the MAO staff is very professional and great (!) fun to be around. Besides SUP I also went on a motorcycling tour with other guests and was able to spend one night in a local village. It's precious to see what impact an organization can make in the lives of the local population by putting sustainability and social development in the focus of attention.
  
  The MAO girls fed us well on all our tours - their homemade cookies and granola are legendary!
  
  If you are looking for "the real thing" - this is the place you want to go to.
  
  Thanks Byron, Alex, Taylor, Nae Nae and Lin May! It was such a treat to meet you guys!
