We went in the middle of April when it was dry and as another reviewer mentioned it's best done in the dry season. We did the waterfall experience. The trekking was more strenuous than I expected and there was no zip-lines in the further away areas which was a disappointment. The waterfall was nothing much but the cold pool at... More

The Gibbon Experience is a really nice idea but it's unfortunately badly mis-sold. Some key things I'd advise everyone on before booking are: 1. The guides speak extremely little English and so it's rarely possible to know what's going on. This doesn't matter too much for general directions but when instructing you on safety information it's rather alarming. It also... More

We just came back from our second time doing the Gibbon Experience (yes, it was that cool that we did it twice). It is pricy, at 220 Euros, but well worth the experience to spend 2 nights/3 days living in a treehouse in the middle of a jungle! You need to arrive in Houay Xai, the town near the border... More

This was hands down the best part of our trip to Laos. My husband and I did the Waterfall Experience and were really hoping it was worth it after a hellish slow boat trip from Luang Prabang. It absolutely was. Our guides were friendly and knowledgable, the tree houses were amazing, and zip lining over tree tops across huge jungle... More

This was definitely a highlight of my trip. Everyone in my group was tossing up whether to initially spend the money but everyone was glad they did... It was well worth it. I would definitely only go in dry season as the hiking would be extremely difficult in the wet season. The additional track to get to the treehouses which... More

I am planning to have Waterfall one tormorrow but i haven't received clear info from Gibbon after several email to them and call doesnt work. Is anyone can advise at the last day of the trip, around what time trip will finish? I will have go back from Huay Xai to Chiang kong inorder to get a ferry back to... More

as other people have said, this is laos so don't expect great customer service or a 5-star experience. from the moment we arrived, we were never really introduced to anyone and never really made to feel welcome. we were hearded around, loaded on to pickup trucks, driven for two hours by maniacs along very crappy roads until we made it...

Wow,This place made a lasting impact on me and my wife's life,its the kinda trip you say you will only do in a lifetime,but we now know in our minds that we will go back to the gibbons experience.We did the gibbons as part of our five week journey around Thailand,Laos and Cambodia for our honeymoon..My wife broke her ankle...

A colleague and I took this trip and it was fabulous. Be prepared for leeches. Don't freak out - you can flick them off with a leaf if they haven't attached. Otherwise you can use a lighter and they will "let go." Take tiger balm to deter the leeches. Put it all over your ankles/feet inside your socks. Advice: pack... More
