Cruise the Nam Ou from Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw with Lao lunch, village visit, waterfall hike, and sunset views for $55.

“The boat ride to Nong Khiaw was beautiful and comfortable. The van ride to the river boat was incredibly bumpy - if you struggle with car sickness this may be an issue for you. The hike to the waterfall was enjoyable and not difficult. We were led by a local guide (in addition to our main tour guide) - and unexpectedly had to pay an additional $100,000 kip to the guide split between the group, so bring small cash.

Hike Laos’ 100 Waterfalls, cruise the Nam Ou, visit a Khmu village, swim in jungle pools, and enjoy lunch by the falls.

“Commencer avec 1h de retard, la soit disant visite du village n’a pas été faite, on a juste attendu le bateau sur des chaises dans le village, aucune explication ou visite. Ensuite la visite de la grotte était inexistante, on demande quand on va visiter cette grotte et ils nous disent que la grotte est fermée pour travaux. Or, personne ne nous en a informé et on a payé pour. Au final ils nous on remboursé 100 000 kips alors qu’on a payé 60€ d’excursion pour que la moitié des choses proposées ne soit pas faite. On ne recommande PAS.”
