The Orange Robe tour and the small temple Wat Pa Phai in Luang Prabang we met at were very interesting. Nothing was off the table. We discussed Buddhism, the temple daily life from novice to Monk, and life after the temple. Then, we spent one hour inside the temple practicing meditation (seated, walking, and standing). It’s definitely worth doing if you have an interest in Buddhism and/or meditation.

I absolutely loved this tour. It felt culturally appropriate, and I could ask my guide lots of questions and he was very patient. I did the tour and the guided meditation. Excellent. I’ve learnt loads. Not cheap but this is a high quality tour that pays people fairly so I’m happy to pay a little bit more.

I really enjoyed this experience! Tay was great! I especially enjoyed the openness of communication:) felt very comfortable asking him anything I had in mind. The meditation techniques were very beginner friendly, which I appreciated because it was my first time trying to meditate. He was a patient and kind guide! One of my highlights in my time in Luang Prabang.

    Amazing experience. I cannot believe we were the only tourists staying at the elephant camp overnight. If you want to get close with elephants, it does not get any better than that.

    We took a 2D / 1N tour that took us from Luang Prabang to Kuang Si Falls, then to Manifa Elephant Camp on day 1. Day 2 was Elephant (Mahout) Experience in the morning, then Pak Ou Caves and Whiskey Village in the afternoon, plus return to Luang Prabang by slow boat during sunset. This trip was worth every penny.

    The Elephant Camp is awesome. The rooms are nice and comfy. The staff treated us like royalty. They cleaned and filled the jacuzzi for us, and cooked an amazing steak dinner.

    We had a lot of contact with the elephants. No elephant is mistreated there. If anything, I would say they are spoiled. The Mahouts guide the elephants with words only. We were able to ride and bath the elephants, then bring them to the jungle for the night. The next morning, we went to get them from the jungle, then bathed them again. After that, we were free to wander around the camp to search for elephants and to feed them as many bananas and sugar cane as they wanted.

    The guides we had before and after the camp were nice and spoke good English. Mr Ping Pong was very friendly, funny, and informative.

    In my opinion, the 2D / 1N package is the best way to enjoy all these activities. Doing them separately would have been disappointing. Spending the evening and morning at the elephant camp gave us enough time to appreciate their presence.

    I did the half day tour to the whiskey making village and the caves. Highly recommend this company, lots of free alcohol tasting, friendly guide and a great lunch at the elephant sanctuary! Great value – also would recommend the full day trip if you’ve not been to the kuang si waterfall.

    i booked a day tour to kuangsi falls, pak ou cave and the villages via lao group tour in luang prabang, so was a little confused that the tour was operated by Manifa. nonetheless, our guide Vone was amazing. he spoke really well, and checked in constantly to ensure our comfort throughout the tour, that we’ve got enough water, wet wipes and beers for the sunset cruise. Vone would also ensure everyone has nice photos for keepsake and proactively get us to pose for pictures; i really appreciate that because now i have so much more to look back on. Highly recommended, and you’re in luck if your guide is Vone!

    I did the Pak Ou Caves & Kuang Si Waterfalls Cruise. Brilliant experience in every way, especially the buffet lunch, elephant feeding, whiskey tasting and the village visit. It’s an amazing day, and the cruise up the Mekong is a great experience in itself.
