Luang Prabang Kuang Si Xayaboury
Early in the morning, you will have the opportunity to participate in Tak Bat, the traditional... more+ almsgiving ceremony in the streets of Luang Prabang. Dozens of monks and novices dressed in their orange robes silently wind their way through the alleys of the old town. Your guide will then take you through the bustling morning market, where the air is filled with the aromas of exotic spices, locally grown tea, and freshly brewed Laotian coffee. During breakfast on board, the enchanting panorama of Luang Prabang will unfold before your eyes. At the end of the morning, we will reach the peaceful village of Ban Muang Khai, where traditional tuk-tuks will be waiting to take you to the spectacular Kuang Si Falls. Here, crystal-clear turquoise waters cascade down several levels, forming beautiful natural pools, perfect for a refreshing swim in a heavenly setting.
Near the waterfalls is the Free the Bears rescue center, dedicated to the protection and conservation of sun bears and moon bears (Malayan and Tibetan), species threatened with extinction throughout Southeast Asia. You will learn more about the considerable efforts being made to rehabilitate these adorable creatures.
In the afternoon, we will continue our cruise towards the impressive Xayaburi Dam, Laos' largest hydroelectric power plant, an engineering masterpiece that supplies much of the country with energy. In the evening, our boat will anchor at a secluded sandy beach, where you will spend the night.

Equipped with flashlights, we will explore its hidden depths and discover its secrets before returning to our boat. During the afternoon, we will continue our journey along the river, enjoying the magnificent views and, with a little luck, you will be able to watch local fishermen casting their nets on the riverbanks. At the end of the day, you can take part in the informative and entertaining program offered by your cruise director. In the evening, we will dock a little earlier to prepare our famous barbecue on the riverbanks, under a starry sky and in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

In the early afternoon, we will pass a golden statue of Buddha perched on a hill, marking the beginning of Thailand along the riverbank.
Shortly after, we will arrive in Salakham, a bustling trading town renowned for its wood and spice markets. A stroll through the local market will immerse you in the colors, sounds, and smells of local crafts and give you an authentic glimpse into the traditions of the region.
