Visit Kuang Si Falls, see the bear rescue center, and cruise the Mekong at sunset on this practical five-hour Luang Prabang tour.

“Visiting the waterfall and the sunset cruise were great! Our guide Pany did a great job communicating before and during the event to make the tour enjoyable. He led the group of us on a great hike to explore some scenic areas of the waterfall, checked in from time to time during our free time, giving suggestions and taking photos for us, and gave us a great going away toast and Lao blessing on the boat ride back. One thing that could be improved is the initial transport to the waterfall was a little chaotic. We were all over the place, switched vans midway, and seemed to merge with another…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 87 reviews · from $44

Review of Luang Prabang city sights and Kuang Si Falls, with temple tips, timing, costs, guides, crowds, and practical advice.

“Our guide, Buon, was superb. He took us around Luang Prabang, walking through the morning market, to the temples, the oldest home (100 year old UNESCO heritage site). He was full of of insights and explained details we could have easily missed. He told us the legend behind Kwangsi falls which made it more magical to us. We walked through the rainforest, saw the falls, checked the bears as well. He also timed our tour perfectly with lunch close to the falls. He bought us watermelons after the tour since it was getting hot. I would recommend this tour and Boun to anyone going to Luang Prabang.”

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. If you are vegetarian or vegan, note that the meal option is just the side dishes of the meat-based meal (we were served rice, a cabbage stir fry, tofu salad, and…”
