Beautiful and well-planned holiday with activities that both parents and children enjoyed. The tour guide was excellent with the children; he went above and above to give us detailed information about his home country, his family, what it's like to grow up there. We felt so welcomed there.

The Land of a Million Elephants, as Laos was once known, is a haven in a fast-paced world, a country whose citizens have retained a charm and grace that is as rare as it is valuable. The mountains and rivers are pristine in this land-locked country bounded by China, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
As part of Indochina, Laos was colonized by the French and the cities of Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Pakse have inherited the classical, elegant, if a bit faded, character only French architects can inspire. Laos has fascinating sights to offer: the Plain of Jars in Xieng Khuang Province, the forested mountains of Northern Laos, the gothic limestone karsts around Vang Vieng and Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands) where the mighty Mekong spreads in the Southern Laos. However, it is the warmth and sincere friendliness of its people that will live forever in the hearts of anyone fortunate enough to visit.
Our Southern Laos tour is a sojourn along the Mekong River to the former colonial outpost of Champasak, the serene beauty of Si Phan Don and the rich fertile lands of the coffee growing Bolevan Plateau. From the natural attractions of amazing waterfalls to the jungle wildlife to the cultural Khmer temples of Wat Phu, this tour explores the quiet back roads of South Laos.

Take your family on a superb adventure to discover the ancient history and cultural landscape of Laos and Cambodia. A carefully crafted blend of family adventure activity, comfortable child friendly accommodation with select moments for downtime to simply enjoy your surroundings, this is truly family travel at its finest. Our adventure begins in the magical town of Luang Prabang, Northern Laos, where you and your family step back in time to a place where every morning hundreds of saffron-clad monks file out from the monasteries to collect alms from the devout residents. You’ll explore the local markets and ancient temples of this former royal capital, take a boat trip on the mighty Mekong River to the mystical Pak Ou Caves and hike though lush forests, around rice paddies to marvel at the turquoise pools of Khuang Si Waterfall. Overnight at the The Elephant Conservation Center, a 530 hectare natural elephant habitat home to 29 Asian elephants. The centre, unlike most elephant camps, was set up purely for the protection of this magnificent species and aims to return elephants to the wild. This is truly an experience not to be missed. Then fly south to Pakse - explore the ancient Angkorian ruins of Wat Phu before continuing on to the 4,000 Islands and the largest island, Don Khong. Immerse yourselves in the relaxed lifestyle of this sleepy riverine archipelago. Next, fly to the lively town of Siem Reap, Cambodia, the gateway to Angkor Wat. Explore the ancient passageways of Angkor Wat temple, marvel at the enigmatic giant stone faces of Bayon, uncover mysterious ruins deep in the jungle on Kulen Mountain, kayak through floating villages and be enthralled by the energetic performers at Phare, the Cambodian Circus.
