The night was filled with so many activities and it was so clear that everyone involved was very passionate about bamboo and its infinite uses. Making the bamboo coaster was such a fun time especially learning from a master weaver, the food was delicious and we were given so many different dishes. And ending the night with music and dancing was just perfect. Overall it was a magical night that was totally worth the money. Really everyone was so kind and knowledgeable. Thank you…”
Small group Kuang Si Waterfalls day trip from Luang Prabang with hotel pickup, forest trek, swim time, and Mekong sunset cruise.

It was great having a nice car to drive the small roads in and our guide was very patient with us when we were taking so many photos at the waterfalls, then looked after our bags when we went to swim in them! Although it cost more I think it was definitely worth it.”
