Le guide, Jai, au delà d être très sympathique, parlait extrêmement bien anglais. Ceci a permis d'avoir de véritables échange et de mieux comprendre la culture laotienne, la forêt. Nous avons vraiment eu une expérience en immersion, dormir dans un village, cuisiner et manger dans la jungle. Nous sommes parties ravies de cette expérience dans la région. Merci !read less

The first day was amazing with a moderate half day walk ending up at the waterfall which was a great way to cool off and relax (and take amazing photos). Our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and accommodating of our needs. Regrettably we had to cancel our 2nd day due to us needing to fly home ASAP because of imminent border closures for the COVID-19 pandemic. We politely asked the manager (Phai) for a refund and he was very understanding even though we knew it was a tough time for them. They couldn't refund our 2nd day on the spot but they promised to put it through on the following Monday when they went to the bank. We were pleased and grateful that they lived up to their promise to do it, so I want to say they are an honest and ethical operator. Thank you!read less
