Tour Plan

Half-Day Paddle Through the Jungle
This tour will serve different activities based on 2 different seasons: high water season and low water season. Hereunder is the detail program for each season.
High water season, August to January:
At the departure time, you will be greeted and picked up at your hotel’s lobby in Luang Prabang by a local tour guide and a driver. You are then transferred to the Tiger Adventure Camp located on the banks of Nam Khan River. It may take you about 25 minutes. At the Camp, you will be given safety briefing about basic kayaking skills to make sure you can enjoy the journey safely.
Then, you start kayaking down the Nam Khan River. The river conditions may vary widely in different seasons. During the high water season, the river currents are very rough, so the journey will be more exciting to experienced drivers. During the journey, you will paddle through beautiful lush jungle, rice fields and local villages. In addition, you will go by the elephant camps and may catch a glimpse of lovely elephants splashing on the river banks. Don’t forget to keep your camera handy to capture these stunning images of nature.
This kayaking journey is about 20 km (12 mi) with the level of easy-medium and takes you approximately 3-4 hours with breaks. The journey ends under the Luang Prabang city cambrige. Then, you will be driven back to your hotel. The tour ends.
Low water season, February to July:
During the dry season, the river’s water level is significantly lower. Thus, the white sand beaches are exposed. Along the way, you will stop for photo shooting opportunity or enjoy river-jumping from trees. In addition, you will visit Henri Mahout’s resting place located in the jungle. He has been widely known as the explorer of the spiritual complex of Angko Wat. Then, you will stop by a local’s favorite sport, Geng Noun before driving back to the city.

Navigating through the dense jungle while kayaking provided an unexpected sense of tranquility amidst the business chaos of our trip. We felt a genuine connection to the local villages as we gently paddled by, their vibrant life unfolding before our eyes, a refreshing break from the usual meetings. However, the initial transportation to the launch point was slightly chaotic, leaving us a tad rushed before we started, but once we were on the water, the experience was truly remarkable.

Our group had a fantastic time kayaking through the lush jungle and picturesque villages around Luang Prabang. The serene waters offered stunning views, and we loved spotting local wildlife as we paddled along. However, the transportation to the launch site felt a bit cramped, and some of us wished for a longer trip to take in more of the scenery.

We were absolutely thrilled to paddle through lush greenery and small villages during our kayaking adventure. The serenity of gliding along the water, framed by towering trees and vibrant wildlife, made us feel truly connected to nature. One of our favorite moments was stopping at a quaint riverside village, where we were warmly welcomed by locals sharing their stories and traditional crafts.

However, we did find the initial fitting of our life jackets to be a bit rushed, which left us feeling slightly uneasy at the start. The guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but we wished for a tad more time to acclimate before hitting the water. Despite this, the rest of the experience was delightful, with gentle paddling allowing us to soak in the beauty around us. If you want a blend of adventure and tranquility, this outing is definitely worth considering!
