Fantastic full day out starting with a slow scenic boat ride up the Mekong enjoying the scenery and stopping for Lao whiskey on the way to Pac Ou caves. Delicious lunch at the elephant sanctuary before a slightly bumpy ride down to the kuang si waterfalls which were spectacular. Thin was a knowle...

We did the half day version of this tour (to the Pak Ou caves and rice wine village) and it was a relaxing and enjoyable trip, with a lovely cruise down the Mekong river back to Luang Prabang. Our guide, Mr Pingpong was full of enthusiasm and charm, and looked after us well. Very happy to recommend!
