Questions & Answers

Everything you need
to know

Everything is included: private air-conditioned minivan, driver, local guide for village visits, 1 night accommodation at Tad Lo village, all meals (breakfast, two lunches and dinner), snacks, drinking water, and all site entrance fees. The only extras are personal drinks, souvenirs, tips, and the optional zipline (+$40/person, paid on site).

The tour includes four waterfalls: Tad Fane (the iconic twin falls), Tad Yuang (where you can swim), Tad Champee, and Tad Lo. If you choose the optional zipline at Tad Fane, Tad Champee is replaced by extra time at the zipline site. Either way, you visit four spectacular waterfalls across two days.

The minivan holds a maximum of 6 guests. You can book as a solo traveller, couple, family, or private group. You can also choose to join other travellers at a lower per-person price - just let us know when you book. We always tell you the final group composition before departure.

Absolutely. The pace is relaxed and we adapt to your group. Plateau roads are comfortable by minivan, the waterfalls are accessible, and the Katu village visits are fascinating for all ages. Just tell us the children's ages when you book and we'll adapt accordingly.

Yes - we depart daily from Pakse at 8:30 AM and can often accommodate same-day or next-day bookings. Contact us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm availability within the hour. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you have on group composition and departure timing.

The all-inclusive tour includes a guide, all meals, accommodation, and a planned itinerary - ideal if you want everything taken care of. The private driver service is transport only: you choose your route, your stops, and your pace, with no guide or meals included. It costs less and gives you total freedom. Both options use private vehicles - you are never in a shared minibus with strangers unless you choose to be.
