Great Guide - I had a great time doing the kayaking and cycling tour with my guide Year. He was excellent and the tour was great value. Would recommend Kayaking to the cliffs instead of taking the boat.

We did the half-day... - We did the half-day kayaking and Pak Ou Caves. Our guide was perfect, interacting seamlessly with a variety of nationalities. Pak Ou Caves did not disappoint. The kayaking surrounded by a beautiful Laos landscape was breathtaking. Lunch provided a plentiful variety of deliciousness.
Treat yourself to a special experience.

Mr. Pingpong and organisation - great! - Mr Pingpong was the best guide, we went to local village, waterfalls, bears and elephants place (where animals got very good care) and both the trip organisation and Mr. Pingpong were just great. Worth the money! I highly recommend!

Great full day trip with Mr Pong - We did the trip full day trip with Mr Pong that included a visit to a local Village, the mind blowing Kuang Si waterfalls with bear sanctuary, awesome lunch on the banks of the Mekong including one on one interaction and feeding of mother and baby elephants, Pak Ao caves, whisky village and sunset cruise. Mr Pong was an awesome guide who spoke good English and made the day easy and fun. We had enough time at each place and the free beer/water/cold face towels meant we didn’t have to pay for extras and and we were not hurried at all - great day for solo travellers and families

A perfect day in Luang Prabang! - We had a wonderful tour today. We did the half day kayaking which included a delicious buffet lunch, time to play with elephants, a visit to the Buddha caves, and a rice wine tasting. We also did the sunset cruise which was beautiful and a great time to relax. We absolutely loved our kayaking guide and Mr. Ping Pong who made the day even more fun and engaging. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Luang Prabang. It's such an underrated town and this was a perfect way to enjoy it!

1/2 day lunch, kayak, tour, boat ride - Our guide Von was great. Very helpful and informative. Lunch had nice selection. Full afternoon. Lovely setting for the lunch. Group size of 3 couples on kayaking was a good size. Would give 4.5 if we could.
Only downside was it was a bit rushed at the caves. We were late getting picked up and a few changes in vehicles so we didn't get to the luncheon spot until about 1:30 and we had to be back to join the rest of the group by 4:30 to try the "whiskey" and get the boat back to LP.

Not what I booked - Cons: I booked a full day kayaking but it was only after Id been driven to the lodge I was told this wasn’t available only the morning. They offered a sunset cruise instead but I didn’t want this. It was therefore a much shorter kayak than I’d imagined and I wouldn’t have signed up knowing this was the case
There also do elephant riding at the lodge, I would never have booked with this provider if I knew the operator supported this.
Pros: the guide was good and the 2 hour kayak was fun. The caves were interesting. Lunch was ok.
I did get a refund on the half day I didn’t do so happy there was no issue with that.
