Katie – Cambodia

This was a really fun way to go and see the caves, it's around 2-3 hours of kayaking so totally worth the money. Jai was a fantastic guide and such a lovely lad. A buffet lunch at a beautiful riverside restaurant was included too and was delicious.

Full description

Discover Laos' varied and scenic landscapes on this guided tour. After getting picked up from your hotel in Luang Prabang, head north to the Nam Ou Riverside where you will begin your kayak tour. This is an easy river for kayaking where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the tranquil countryside and see naturally-formed limestone cliffs. 

Kayak your way towards Pak Ou, where you will visit the famous Pak Ou Caves – 2 linked caves crammed with thousands of gold-lacquered Buddha statues of various shapes and sizes left by devoted pilgrims. Enjoy a guided tour of the caves before starting the second section of your kayak on the Mekong River. Paddle down the Mekong for 30 minutes to reach your lunch destination. Sit down to a delicious buffet lunch as you admire breathtaking views of the Mekong.

After lunch, continue to the Kuang Si Falls and enjoy some free time to explore these unique 3-layered falls. You could go for a walk through the trails of the surrounding nature trails, take a dip in the refreshing turquoise water pools or pay a visit to the bear rescue center. Finally, begin the journey back to Luang Prabang. Stop at Ban Na Uan hmong village and get the chance to experience Hmong village life, meet some of the local people and see their traditional embroidery crafts. Get dropped off back at your hotel at the end of the day.

The kayak excursion was the perfect amount of time on the water - about two hours. The route was on both the Ou and Mekong Rivers, which was fun to see the difference in water clarity and currents. We were able to visit the cave temples and then also capped our afternoon with the sunset cruise down to Luang Prabang town.
