We enjoyed the lunch buffet, feeding the elephant, kayaking down the river, and then a sunset boat ride back to Luang Prabang. A great way to spend a warm day!

とても充実した1日になりました。朝の集合からスタッフの連携や、通訳・ガイドさんの分かりやすい対応で楽しみにしていた象たちとのふれあいやマホートになる為の貴重な経験ができました。昼食も豊富な料理や飲み物を自由にいただき大満足。午後からは洞窟見学や地酒の工房を訪問して、最後はツアーの皆さんとサンセットクルーズを楽しみながら戻って来ました。なかなかできない体験なので、こちらに来たらぜひ参加することをおすすめします。

Kayaking down Mekong River was a really tranquil experience. In the dry season it’s pretty easy. The Cave was ok but lots of steep steps. But Kiang Si Falls is the best waterfall we’ve seen in Asia and. We’ve been to many. It’s a beautiful colour and great to swim in. The guises were friendly. Lao people are absolutely lovely. Recommend Thai company.

This is the most fantastic experience we have ever had, riding with the elephants. Much to many people’s wrong ideas of riding elephants it is no different to the respect and care given to riding horses. These elephants have a wonderful relationship with humans and are kept safe in the sanctuary and the ride is exercise for them with no harness or chairs, but bareback so you get to really connect and trust these marvelous animals. Recommended for everyone, even my 73 year old mum could do this! The food is so yummy and the guides awesome!
