Kuang Si Waterfalls Tour is one of Luang Prabang's top attractions and the Kuang Si Waterfalls private guided tour includes a thirty minute journey to the Kuang Si Falls from Luang Prabang by minivan - we also offer the Kuang Si Waterfalls Tour without a guide; it is a very popular destination among locals and tourists on a group tour in Luang Prabang. The Kuang Si Falls Tour should not be left off anyone's itinerary.

The Kuang Si Falls are spectacular with many cascades at any time, but particularly so during the wet season. The main fall drops a distance of about 60 metres and is particularly impressive during the wet season - it is still well worth the visit during the dry season when the water becomes an attractive turquoise blue. Climb up next to the falling water right to the top, on a well maintained path, which can become wet so decent footwear is recommended. 

From the top you can look down to the base of the Kuang Si Waterfalls - there is a fence to prevent you from falling over the edge. An excellent place to stop for a picnic, but you will have to bring your own food with you.

You can swim at the base of  the Kuang Si Waterfalls in the shaded shallow pools which are popular with families. 

There are plenty of eating places at the base of the Kuang Si Waterfalls with tastes and prices to suit everyone.

Near the Kuang Si Waterfalls is the Free the Bears Sanctuary where you can see Asian Black Bears; these bears have been rescued, many from abject suffering at the hands of their owners, and can live free from the dangers of poachers and hunters.

The Kuang Si Waterfalls private tour can easily be combined with a visit to the Buffalo Farm and also to a local tribal village - see the articles below.

The Kuang Si Waterfalls private guided tour is a must for everyone who visits Luang Prabang - you can take this tour with or without a guide.  Both our guide and driver are local Luang Prabang citizens and speak good English and Thai.

The Kuag Si Waterfalls tour can be combined with a half day Luang Prabang City tour.

A traditional Hmong village where you can see and buy local handicrafts can easily be included as part of the Kuang Si Waterfalls Tour. The small local museum is well worth a visit - you will be offered the opportunity to grind rice and fire a crossbow as well as seeing many traditional tools and listening to local instruments. All of our group tours in Luang Prabang Province will visit this village if you would like.

A trip with MinivanLuangPrabang's minivan tour service to ride on elephants sitting on a howdah can easily be arranged by our guide. The word howdah, from Arabic, means "bed carried by a camel".

Take a peaceful ride through the countryside, sitting in your howdah high off the ground - 

or the more adventurous will enjoy the fun of swimming with the elephants and the challenge of trying to keep their heads above water.

The elephant camp can be visited on a group tour in Luang Prabang Province - the camp is easily accessible by minivan.

A short journey across the Mekong from Luang Prabang will take you to the Pottery Village of Chan Neua in th Chompet district. Here you can see the craftsmen making pots, large and small, on a traditional potter's wheel, as well as making animals. 

On your group tour in Luang Prabang you will have the opportunity to make a pot on the wheel; it all looks so easy until you try it for yourself! 

Tad Sae Waterfall is another beautiful waterfall near Luang Prabang, where you can enjoy just relaxing or, for the more energetic, swimming at the base of the falls. You also take advantage of the opportunity of an elephant ride in the falls.

MinivanLuangPrabang's minivan tour service can take your family or small group tour to visit local villages in Luang Prabang among the many Lao tribes, including Hmong, Lanten, Katu, Tai Dam and Tai Lue, to see local handicrafts, and take the opportunity to buy direct from the villagers who make these handicrafts.

Laos is famous for weaving and Luang Prabang is now a centre for this traditional industry. Your sightseeing group tour can also include paper making, wine making and whiskey distilling, as well as village life.

We were pleased to take customers on our group tour in Luang Prabang to donate blankets in Phapai village, and to help to fund the building of new classrooms in Thongpiengvilay Secondary School after damage caused by floods. The villages are in the Muang Nan district about 1 and a half hours, 75 kilometres from Luang Prabang.

The video finishes with a Baci Ceremony to thank our customers for their donations. Baci Ceremonies are performed for many reasons - in many cases to give thanks. A Baci Ceremony involves the saying of Buddhist prayers and then the tying of white cotton strings round people’s wrists to wish them well.

Our driver, Mr. Bounlang, drove customers to give donations of a computer, books, pens, pencils and printer to village school children in the Nan District of Luang Prabang province; he was very pleased to be able to accompany them.
