Highly recommend going to the sanctuary. They are so kind to their elephants, treating them like a pet dog. The elephants are well trained and gentle. We rode bareback, which is better for the elephants. They let them roam free at night and they run back every morning. SOOOO much fun! They even trained the elephants to spray you with water!…

A half day trip was absolutely fantastic, an experience to remember for ever. We were picked up from our hotel by our guide ‘Mr Sack’ and taken up to the sanctuary, here we learned about the history of why the sanctuary was brought about, lots of information on the elephants, how they are looked after, we saw the hospital and the resident vet who ensures the health of these graceful creatures daily. We then fed them, bananas and banana trunk, later we went for a boat ride up the Mekong to some waterfalls (dry at the moment) then back to the sanctuary/ resort for lunch which was delicious, sitting in a private gazebo overlooking the Mekong. Then after lunch we walked with the elephants to the river where we bathed them, this was a fantastic moment and hilarious at the same time, that can be very naughty. It was a simply fantastic experience.…

This place is soooo nice to relax and escape the tourist area of Luang Prabang. We stayed 2 nights at this resort and could have stayed a week. AWESOME view from balcony, REALY beautiful rooms which are declared as tents. So many beautiful details. bathtub is great and good is simple but super delicious. Ate both nights there and didn’t regret once. Free shuttle service to town and back and lovely stuff. SPECIAL THANKS to Lulu who is the most amazing manager we ever met!!! Our two years old boy loved her and she took so much time to take care and play with him. Great place for children. Again thank you soooo much Lulu! We did as well the half day tour which was really nice. We definitely come back.…

Picked up at our hotel, we drove for 15 km to the Elephant Village. We got to feed the elephants, and pat them and learn all about them. An amazing opportunity to learn more about their difficult lives while logging. The place is beautiful and we crossed the river on a low boat while the elephants were swimming along. After a walk with them, we were taken on a boat ride then back to have a great lunch. And we saw how they made paper with elephant dung ! Great for the whole family.…

Great visit to this wonderful sanctuary - the tour group couldn’t find my hotel so they sent someone on a motorcycle to find me! Great service. The elephants are wonderful and cared for. Sad to see the one who had stepped in a land mine The elephants are very friendly and curious. I loved it …
