This is a great tour. We had a 30m boat to ourselves and a guide who spoke perfect English. We could go at our own speed. Lunch which was not included was at a great place overlooking the caves.

Jürgen – Germany

Both the boat trip and the places were very convincing. Boat driver and guide were competent and made us feel safe. One should move away from information. I very much doubt that people over the age of 80 can do this tour.

Full description

Set off into the Mekong River after being gathered from your hotel, passing scenes of fishermen and wildlife on the way. Once you arrive at the Pak Ou Caves, head to Tham Ting, the first cave. The smaller cave is illuminated from the entrance, making it a popular place to burn incense and offer prayers. As your guide leads you through the dark cave with a light, catch sight of the Buddha icons, numbering in the 1,000s that fill the place. 

After your excursion through the caves, hop aboard your boat and make your way to the village of Ban Xanghai. Here, you can witness the traditional method of making lao-lao, the local rice wine. A short drive then takes you to Ban Phanom, which is famous for its handwoven textiles. Watch the craftsmen deftly work at their looms, weaving silk and cotton into intricate patterns. Conclude your day of adventure with a leisurely boat trip back to Luang Prabang.
