We really enjoyed the experience. The highlight was the elephant experience getting up close (and riding bareback) to the elephants and spending time with them. We also learned about the history of elephants in Laos and how endangered they now are. Manifa seems to be doing a very good job caring for the 13 elephants in their compound. Our tour guide, Van (sp?), was patient and looked out for us throughout the entire tour. We switched to the kayaking, Pak Ou cave, Whiskey Village, and sunset cruise the day before - We Travel was responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend this trip when visiting Luang Prabang.

We had great time with the guide , lot of knowledge , the trekking was hard but Amazing, thank you very much!!!

去年はバイクで怪我をしてメコン川に入らなかったので再度申し込みました。象に直接乗れたり自由時間に象にバナナをあげたりできます。ここにはマイペースで寄り道をする象、用を足す時にわざわざ草むらに寄る象など様々な性格の象がおり、来る度に新しく気付く事があります。ルアンパバーンに寄る時はまた参加します。

I visited Laos from Japan on a solo trip. The main purpose of my trip was to have a great experience with Manifa Travel. They let me experience things here that I cannot experience in Japan. I was surprised that the elephants were much bigger than I had imagined and their skin was harder as well. I will never forget this wonderful experience. Thank you very much for the fun memories!

I had a great experience to ride a elephant. Riding elephants are very tough than horses because they don't have a chair on the elephants. I was exhausted but great. Almost people join the cave tour etc after lunch, but I resumed riding. I learned some languages to talk to elephants, and I rode an elephant by myself without support. (but, instructor walked beside of me & elephant) If you have time to spend in Luang Prabang, I recommend resuming riding after lunch.
