I did the one day mahout experience ($79) and had a phenomenal time. You have 3 elephant rides during the day. The first is a short training ride where they teach you some basic commands and how to climb up onto the elephant. You climb up on to the back of her head and go for a short walk around... More

Both my husband and I embarked on the 1 day Mahout tour and we really enjoyed it. We booked through our hotel and paid about $US80/pp which seemed quite reasonable for the experience.

My wife and I spent one evening and a day and a half at the Elephant Village. The operation is only a short distance from Luang Prabang which makes it easily accessible for a half day excursion.

This was a great experience and helped make our visit to Luang Prabang very special. There is a reason this experience is so highly rated. We chose it based upon Trip Advisor recommendations and we are glad we did! More

My husband and two teenagers loved their private trip through the beautiful jungle and mountains. Highly recommended! More

The elephants were contented and well looked after and I felt exactly the same at the end of the day. The place was very clean and halfway through the day we had a a swim in a small but pleasingly swanky pool followed by a nice buffet lunch. We were in a group of six and had various activities involving... More
