Amazing day! - Such an amazing experience! Our guide was very friendly and taught us so much about the jungle and how plants are used to make medicine, to make dye for clothes and more. It was a very informative, fun day. The trek was lots of fun and the jungle is so beautiful! Lunch was delicious, and after the trek we visited a village to learn more about life in rural Laos. Everyone in the village was friendly and welcoming, offering us food and drinks😊. Overall, it was a great, memorable day and I highly recommend!

Fantastic must do activity - Our guide, Noy was simply brilliant. His English was excellent and we toured the market for lunch gaining much knowledge as we walked through the vast array of food. Cooking fish in the jungle and eating food from the forest topped it off. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this trip. If you are unsure whether or not to go, don’t be…just go. So pleased we decided to do it.

Beautiful experience - I am very happy with the day of trekking. The trek is affordable for everyone, not very long, but very beautiful. I had a lot of fun discovering how to prepare a hot meal with what the jungle provides you. Also interesting are the explanations on the various medicinal plants. I recommend it.
