The driver is very kind, waiting for us calmly and driving is not dangerous, worth the money paid.
Easy drive with friendly driver and the waterfalls were beautiful and fun to climb. Driver was prompt , on time.
On time and very nice! We had 1hr 20min to explore waterfall
The waterfalls themselves are really nice, an activity never seen elsewhere, original, refreshing, and fun. However: 3 hours of uncomfortable songtaew, barely 1 hour 20 minutes on site, so we had to do everything in a rush, including lunch time! 80e for 2, I would really like to know how the price can be so high!

We are currently reviewing our transportation comfort and scheduling with our team to ensure our guests have a more relaxed and well-paced experience. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and helping us improve.
It said 4.5 hours. With rides added, this would mean about 2 hours at the falls. This was only 1 on arrival. Fine to do, but had to hurry to grab everything.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the schedule and for making you feel rushed during your visit to the waterfalls.

If you’re looking for a relaxed vibe tour this one is for you! I would recommend booking the early morning tour as the sticky falls aren’t as busy then! I booked solo and ended up being the only one on my tour and I loved it! My driver was very nice and was quick in making it up to the falls. I stayed for about an hour and then we headed back. I loved the relaxed feel there was no pressure from my guide I could enjoy my time. For €20 this is a really good deal!
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on your solo tour and enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the sticky falls in the early morning. It's fantastic to know that your driver was friendly and efficient, giving you plenty of pressure-free time to enjoy the experience at your own pace. We truly appreciate your amazing feedback and high recommendation, especially regarding the great value! Hope to welcome you back again soon!

It was well organized, but the price wasn't worth it for what we got. Plus, it was too crowded at the waterfalls...
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you found the tour well-organized, but we’re truly sorry to learn that the overall experience didn’t feel like a good value and that the crowds at the waterfalls impacted your day. Because the waterfalls are such a popular attraction, peak hours can get quite busy and lively. We completely understand how a crowded atmosphere can affect the experience, and we are constantly looking at ways to adjust our timing to offer a more relaxed visit. We also take pricing feedback very seriously as we strive to deliver the best possible value. We truly appreciate your input, as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
