The falls were great. 2 hours were allotted to spend there. Opportunities to swim, visit the bear refuge, zip line or climb to the tree top cafe. The stop along the way at the Hmong village seemed rather rushed and an afterthought though since we were rushing to have more time at the falls. We had a good guide who gave commentary on the drive to and back from the falls.

This was a great value, full day trip with lots of different elements. 2 hours to enjoy the waterfalls, whether you wanted to climb 250 odd steps to the view (where you could also do a zipline for $30), or spend time viewing the bears in the sanctuary, or simple stay on ground level enjoying the spectacular falls, amazing. Then a long drive for lunch where elephants from the sanctuary were frolicking. Lunch and drinks were superb, with freshly barbequed meats and a host of other stuff. Then an opportunity to meet the elephants before boarding the boat. The cave stop was ok, and whiskey tasting a nice experience and the cruise was very chilled and gave an opportunity to chat to the great group i was lucky to be with. The stop at the "traditional minority village" was awful in my opinion, at least give some insight into their lives rather than frog-march us on a pathway round it with Mothers and children begging us to buy from their stalls. The morning guide was also very difficult to understand but the afternoon one much better. Despite those very minor gripes it was an awesome tour!

Really lovely time kayaking on the Mekong in the morning, showers & towels provided before a very good buffet with a lot of different options for lunch. Then headed to the waterfall where you have plenty of time to swim, you’re not staying with your group so it feels like your own holiday if you want to.
