Great 3 day treking with Kajak, super guides like Son, Phomee and Nala makes the life in the jungle very easy.

Thank you, Sone, for these three wonderful and informative days. We learned so much from you about nature, culture and the country. Thank you for the open exchange and for giving us the opportunity to taste local specialities. Every meal consisted of different sauces and dishes. The food was always delicious. Thank you Sone and all the others of the team for everything!

Had an amazing experience with Phou Lu! Guides Nom and Phoumee made sure there was a great vibe and took good care of us. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a real jungle experience with good guidance and support. Keep in mind this is not a survival trek. I did the 3D2N trek with kayaking the last day, which I really liked as it gives more variety. Also the food during the tour was really well organised.

Great food and the people at the office were nice and very helpful, three days and you don't have to bring anything but yourself and a raincoat

I had a really great time. I really liked the variety and it was not so bad how long you were actually hiking. Very nice to be so close to nature and also the village was beautiful. The guide spoke good English and our questions were answered well. We got a lot of information about different plants and also got to taste many animals / plants from Nom and Phoumii. Definitely recommended!

The tour was amazing, we did a lot of things we wouldn't imagine to ever do. You can think about: catching and eating frogs, sleeping under banana leaves in the rain. It was amazing thanks to our guides Nom and Pumi. Great trip!
