Full Day Trek to Kuang Si Waterfalls, Remote Village

Recommend.

We did the 10 kilometers track. The entire tour was really fun, especially for anyone who enjoys trekking and hiking. What definitely made the experience even better was our guide, Vone. He was very professional and caring, and explained everything along the way. He also did a great job making everything easy to understand in English. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend this experience!

Well organised 1 day tour

Very well organised tour from start to finish. A mix of river cruise, hiking, water falls, rice farm...etc. The guide, Onk, was very helpful & friendly.

Response from the operator: It sounds like you had an absolutely fantastic experience! A seamless, well-organized tour can make all the difference, especially when you are packing so many incredible activities like river cruising, hiking, waterfalls, and visiting rice farms into a single day.Onk sounds like a wonderful guide. Having someone friendly and helpful really elevates the whole adventure.

Fantastic day in the jungle

There was a change of plans because of the burning season so the hike was shorter. But it was a nice treat since we had a 1,5 hour boat ride on the Mekong to the village where the hike started. It was a nice walk through the jungle. We saw colourful butterflies, dragonflies, spiders…. The lunch break at the source of the waterfall was in a paradise setting. So so beautiful. The lunch was tasty as well. We had the place for ourselves for lunch. Then we walked to the waterfall. Kuang Si is amazing. Very beautiful! We had a short stop at a rice farm and we made our own sugar cane drink before heading back to the boat. The sunset was amazing. Our guide did a good job during the whole tour. He was friendly, not pushy and very informative.

Trekking to Kuang Waterfalls

We were collected at 08:15, and when the eight os us on the trip were on the minibus we left for a village. Our guide was very knowledgeable about this culture, and his own community in the mountains of Laos (which was described later on), but all the time spent here meant that we didn’t start walking to the waterfalls until 11:30, when it was getting much hotter. We had lunch at a cafe at the entrance to the waterfalls, which was nice and a good sociable experience. My partner and I declined the extra walk around the waterfalls in order to approach them from the top, but instead walked up the hiking route inside the waterfalls’ area, which was steepish and enjoyable. We had time for a coffee in the restaurant (on site) and a swim in one of the pools before we met the group outside at the designated meeting point. We then drove to a rice field where some members of our party planted rice plants and we learnt about traditional methods of planting and harvesting rice in the lowlands and in the mountains. We also learnt how to get sugar liquid from the sugar canes, but we didn’t know why or how this was relevant to the rice field. The day finished with a beer on a slow boat back to Luang Prabang, I think that the company should decrease the amount of information imported in one day as it is too much for most people to remember and recall. More time to enjoy the waterfalls would have been preferable for us.

Response from the operator: "Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback! 😊 We appreciate your kind words about our guide's knowledge. We understand your point about the amount of information and activities in one day - we'll definitely take that into consideration. Glad you enjoyed the waterfalls and rice field experience despite the tight schedule. We'll look into adjusting the itinerary to allow more time for exploration. Thanks for your input, hope to welcome you back to Luang Prabang!"
