Resplan
Vår guide kommer hämta dig klockan 9 på ditt hotell i Luang Prabang. Du kommer att lämna dockan ombord på en traditionell båt och resa längs Mekong mot Pak Ou Cave.
Ursprungligen en religiös plats, Pak Ou Buddha Caves ligger i ett högt skakande ansikte som hänger över den invigda platsen som tobak-färgade tänder. Fången till en fantastisk vitkalad trapphus, bryter vattnet på basen och anser resenärer och semesterfirare lika att klättra in i de övre och nedre grottorna för undersökning. En gång inuti möts gästerna med ett stort antal statyer av Buddha. Att gå i storlek, kvalitet och material, är den viktigaste faktorn som förenar dessa likheter, deras mindre plågor. Vandra tillräckligt länge, och du kan känna igen alla; vissa saknar händer och har flisat ansikten, medan andra drar till sidan eller ersattes av mer uppdaterade former mindre kärleksdragen från engagemangstider.
Efter att ha ätit lunch börjar vi mot Kuang Si vattenfall. Det dynamiska blå vattnet som strömmar nedför fallen färdas ner genom en rad pooler innan de återförenas med strömmen av vildmarkens vattenvägar. Efter perioder av strömmande över stenarna har fallen skrapat in djupa linjer i stenen, vilket ger en utmärkt travertindesign. Poolerna är mindre nära den högsta punkten av fallen, men kommer i allmänhet att utökas närmare basen i det långa loppet och blir tillräckligt stora för att simma i om den tropiska värmen får någon att hoppa i som den brukar göra. Lokalbefolkningen (som tar ut en liten kostnad för gästerna till fallen) har arbetat fram en träscen som gästerna kan ta in i det böljande vattnet från, eller till och med hoppa av på vissa ställen.
Att nå Kuang Si Falls är något tveksamt eftersom de är helt avlägset den vanligaste vägen att gå och kräver en ivrig förare eller uthyrning. Hur som helst är de genomgripande tuk-tuk-förarna i den intilliggande staden Lunag Prabang vanligtvis beredda att ta alla som är intresserade av att åka till fallen för en skenbar avgift. Det är väl motiverat, trots alla besvär att ta dig till en tur till fallen, inte bara för att komma bort från värmen genom att simma i poolerna, men förutom att absorbera några karakteristiska storslagna upptäckter på ett par olika platser på planeten.

This itinerary includes a two hour Mekong River cruise that is just fantastic. The caves are simply amazing, you’ll love them. Tour guide Mone did everything possible to make our trip enjoyable - really took our needs into consideration. The agenda was flawless. The timing was perfect. The driver was superb. The guide was excellent.
Excellent guide, knowledgeable, cheerful, attentive. Fully recommend for anyone going to Luang Prabang to engage him.
WOW in many ways! Starting with our tour guide, Kong, he was excellent. He gave us the perfect amount of space to enjoy ourselves, yet he was also readily available for questions and explanations of the sites we visited. This excursion was definitely a major highlight of our visit to Laos. The lunch was also excellent! Be sure to bring a swim suit because you'll surely want to swim at the waterfalls. I recommend this tour, and I highly recommend you request Kong as your guide. (One side note: The last stop of the day is a walk through a small village where virtually everyone, including little kids, try to sell you something. We would have been happy to skip that stop.)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that Kong made such a positive impression—he truly is a fantastic guide who knows how to strike the perfect balance between providing insightful information and allowing guests to enjoy the moment. We're also glad you enjoyed the lunch and the stunning waterfalls—definitely a highlight for many! Thank you for your honest note about the village stop. We truly appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you back to Laos someday for more unforgettable adventures!
Comprehensive day trip. Boat ride on the Mekong River, climbed up to caves, lunch on the river, waterfalls, walk through Hmong village
It sounds like you had an action-packed and memorable day! A boat ride on the Mekong River, hiking to caves, lunch with a river view, exploring waterfalls, and walking through the Hmong village all sound like perfect ways to experience the beauty and culture of the area. Such a comprehensive tour definitely gives you a well-rounded experience. Thanks for sharing your highlights—this will surely inspire others to embark on this adventure too!
We had the most wonderful private tour with Mr Than, he was a lovely knowledgeable guide, with a great sense of humour & gave us some unique opportunities to interact with some of the local Laos people which were an absolute highlight. A scenic 2 hour private boat ride down the Mekong to the caves, followed by a gorgeous lunch on the opposite side of the river, with a beautiful view & wonderful local scarves & souvenirs being sold. We then headed to the Whisky village and sat & drank whisky & beer lao with the villagers, truly such a special & memorable experience. The drive on to the waterfalls was long, but they are some of the most beautiful waterfalls we have seen and finally, we stopped at a Hmong village of the way back. If you have more time than we did in Luang Prabang, you may want to split the 2 trips. We booked through Viator but would thoroughly recommend who they leveraged locally & most definitely, Mr Than, if you are lucky enough to get him as your guide (or even request him).

We had a fantastic trip with Mr Than which was great value for money. With a 2 hour boat ride in our own private boat down the Mekong river to the Pak Ou Caves and great lunch included overlooking the river. Fabulous opportunities to mix with the locals at both the whisky village and Hmong village as well as some of the most stunning waterfalls we have ever seen. Mr Than was very knowledgeable & we really enjoyed his company throughout the day. Would highly recommend.
It sounds like you had an amazing experience! I'm so glad to hear that Mr. Than made the trip even more special. The combination of a private boat ride, visiting the Pak Ou Caves, mingling with locals in the whisky and Hmong villages, and seeing stunning waterfalls sounds like a perfect way to immerse yourself in the culture and natural beauty of the area. It's also wonderful to hear that Mr. Than’s knowledge added to the experience. Thank you for sharing such a detailed and positive review – I’m sure others will love reading it too!

This tour was absolutely outstanding! Chansay Was our guide and he was truly the best! This tour truly exceeded my expectations. In fact, I took more photos here than I did at Ha Long Bay. This was above and beyond. The boat ride itself was totally worth the whole tour. The lunch halfway through the tour was the perfect resting point and our dietary restrictions were completely adhered to. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
