It was overall a great experience, everything went smoothly and the tour itself was well organized. Our driver Mr Mee, was punctual throughout the journey. We had Mr Pany for our guide and he was very kind and helpful throughout the entire journey. We started off our trekking journey at a local Hmong village where one of the locals was kind enough to accompany us for the first somewhat difficult part of the hike. Since it is raining season, the path is quite slippery but it is still manageable. I noticed that some paths were blocked due to the rain so we definitely appreciate Mr Pany’s effort in clearing and finding new paths for us. Lunch was tasty and the view from the top of the waterfall was great. Definitely saw a lot of other tourist on the way down which was nice. However, I would definitely recommend everyone to give this experience a shot if you are a free spirit with some time on your hands. Definitely worthwhile journey :)

“Vone” the guide was amazing, we had the chance to experience a local village and the natural scenery during the hike totally worth it

Very enjoable hilke

Heinz_K, Jan 2024

We had a wonderful, interesting and enjojable hike through villages and jungle along the spring to the Kuang Si Waterfalls, which were absolutely stunning. Our guide Tom (Tom Cruise of Laos ;-))was so entertaining and knew a lot about nature and had many good stories to tell. Highly recommended!

The trek itself was fine....

SungPei_Y, Nov 2023

The trek itself was fine. But we waited for two hours at the end for a van to pick us up to fetch us back to hotel . Also lunch at 2 pm after the trek was only a packet of fried rice . Other tour had lunch earlier mid point of the trek . There should be better description of the tour to prepare participants.

The trek to Kuang Si was great but the best part of the day was learning more about the people and countryside. Our guide, Bounsou, was great and very knowledgeable. He made the trip really come alive.
