5Full day experience in Luang Prabang
We started our day with a stop at Manifa Elephant camp but our morning was spent on a kayak trip down a tributary of the Mekong. Easy paddle with stunning views. Our guide, Pouang was knowledgeable about many things and especially with managing the river once we got to the mush faster Mekong. Stopes at the caves before returning to a buffet lunch back at the camp. We then traveled to Kuang Sai waterfall, an amazing place to see and refreshing pools to swim in. A short stop at a local farm to introduce us to rice production ended the day. We were then given the option to cruise the river instead of driving back in the van, to which we all heartily said yes! Our driver was a bit fast for us. Outsides all day, great value, and interesting travel mates. Highly recommend!
5Our tour was great....
Our tour was great. Kayaking on the Mekong was a great and memorable experience. Excellent way to get to Pak Ou which was also a great experience.
5Great Day - thank you Vone!!!
My girlfriend and I had an amazing time cycling, kayaking, and taking the river cruise. We really enjoyed visiting the village and exploring Pak Ou caves, and lunch was great. Our group was a nice small size for the cycling and only us and our guide for the kayaking. But our amazing guide, Vone, made the experience really special. He was very knowledgeable about the area and Loas’ history, and his English was perfect. He gave us a lot of time to explore on the kayaks and answered all of our questions. We would 100% recommend the tour, and if you can ask for Vone as your guide!
5DO THIS
Brilliant to do, what an experience to kayak. Professional crowd and the food was so so good. Very well organised. Loved it, do it.
5Great fun tour
A great experience. The kayaking wasn’t easy but it wasn’t far and it was amazing scenery! We also were really luck and we were the only two on the trip which made it very special. An extra treat was the chance to meet elephants at the end of the trip over lunch and feed them
5We did the half day tour...
We did the half day tour in a small group of six. The whole experience was excellent. We really enjoyed the kayaking and the caves. You definitely need to take a change of clothing - there are lockers at the activity centre where you can leave them. We had a bonus hug with an elephant back at the base, which is also an elephant sanctuary. We also enjoyed a wonderful buffet lunch by the river.

About Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is a small royal town in northern Laos on the Mekong, with gilded temples, French colonial houses, morning alms-giving and nearby waterfalls.
Luang Prabang sits on a peninsula where the Nam Khan river joins the Mekong, ringed by green mountains. It was the royal capital of the Lao kingdom until 1975, and its whole old centre is a World Heritage site, a mix of Lao temples and French colonial shophouses. Wat Xieng Thong, built in the 16th century, has sweeping roofs and glass mosaics, and the former Royal Palace now serves as the national museum.
