Review of Luang Prabang’s Kuang Si Falls trip, with swimming, forest paths, hotel pickup, Hmong village stops, and a Mekong sunset cruise.

“Waterfalls fairly good but similar to lots of ones we had already seen in SE Asia. The cruise back along the Mekong river was the highlight for us 5/5! Really relaxing, great views with the sunset and a big bottle of beer to go with it.”

Work rice fields, weave bamboo, press sugar cane, and eat Luang Prabang dishes at a community farm supporting local students.

“This was an amazing experience. The farm is beautiful, nestled against the mountain. You learn all about organic rice farming and get to participate. Johnny, our guide was very knowledgeable and told us family stories. Planting, harvesting and cooking rice is a long process - most which I had no idea about before today. I highly recommend this tour!”
