1.00A torture camp for elephants. They are kept chained, washed by tourists… They pretend it’s good for the elephants, but it's totally not!!
Unforgettable day in nature

5.00This tour is a must. Kuang Si waterfalls are much more amazing than any video of them you have watched. I could even swim in them. The experience with the elephants and I strongly recommend paying the extra fee to take a bath in the river with them. Our guide Tony was perfect, never rushed and gave us time to relax and enjoy the beauty of the visited places
Another Must-Do Tour in Laos!

5.00Excellent day with Toni, our fun and interesting tour guide ( and thanks to our driver who deserves credit for his skillful and sure navigation of the turns and bumps! ) Highly recommend this tour - the elephant sanctuary provides a unique and gorgeous vantage point along the Mekong ( or Khan ? ) river. It’s a don’t miss of verdant green, farming, and protection of diversity in Lao. The waterfalls were gorgeous and Toni picked an outstanding location for lunch that was a real highlight. The Hmong Village was a living museum of a minority culture that was also important to see in its contribution to the diverse Lao life and the Chinese component over the years. Thank you also for the wonderful insights and conversations we had in the van. We really appreciated your sharing wonderful Laos with us.
Delightful Experience

5.00Toni is an absolutely amazing guide. Incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. He is always willing to lend a helping hand. As a solo traveler, what I appreciate most is that he is more than willing to take pictures of me. He is also incredibly passionate about his job and he cares that you have an amazing experience.
Really fun day!

5.00We greatly enjoyed the experience. The guide Tony and the driver were really friendly and ensured we had a fun day without it feeling rushed. It was just myself and my friend in the car with them so we didn’t have to rush or wait around for anyone. The waterfall was very pretty and it’s nice and quiet up the top as most people don’t want to climb the steps. We got to feel the elephants which was fun. Tony also brought us to a local village match making festival that is on once a year which was really interesting to see.
Unforgettable Experience!

5.00Tony was super. We feed and watched the elephants get bathed in the river. Learned much about the Laos elephant's life as a beast of burden and the need to rescue the elephants from abuse. The waterfalls were spectacular and the climb to the top was not bad, just 543 steps. Lunch at a local restaurant was tasty!
A lifetime experience!!
