Beautiful milky, aqua blue pools like something out of a fairytale! The water freezzing but refreshing once you get used to it. What when you're swimming as there are large submerged rocks in the pools where my partner lost his toenail after painfully swimming into it! More

Best secret is to go early, before the crowds come, and to have the waterfalls to yourself. Refreshing after the intense heat. A nice side benefit, is viewing the moon bears lazing in their hammocks, on the way to falls. More

This was definately one of the most amazing natural sights in Luang Prabang. We caught a tuk tuk (200,000 k) it takes about 40 minutes to get there. The sun bear sanctuary is great the beats are kept in great conditions ( no cages, just a big open enclosure) and are so close! The swimming pools are freezing but refreshing... More

A very pleasant area - well managed - so likely to retain its attractive character. More

Almost didn't make it here, but so glad that we did. We ended up renting a motor bike for the day after weighing out the risks. It was a nice, smooth and safe ride up the mountain to the falls. The scenery was really great to see at your own pace, except for this military gathering of locals learning how... More

Not far out of town, a nice park, I sure the waterfall would be spectacular in the wet season, we were there at the end of the dry season and it was still a great place to visit with plenty of water going over the various levels of the waterfalls. More

This place is magical. If you go early and beat the heat and crowds, you might be lucky enough to have the place to yourself! You will really feel like you're in Shangri-la More

Lovely vegetation all around the water falls and a nice place to relax. There are stalls selling a variety of food just before you enter if you want a picnic lunch, Just inside the entry is the bear sanctuary and the bears looked in good condition with shiny coats. We went during the lao new year and it was interesting... More

No doubt worth the trip, especially on a hot day. Try to go early as the place starts getting busy around noon. In our case the waterfalls were the final point of a two-day trek - you can't imagine how refreshing it was! Don't take a half-day or one-day tour to go there, though, just go with one of the...
