A Day Kayaking On Nam Hinboun 16km

• At 09:00 a Green Discovery truck will pick you up from your hotel in Ban Nahin Village/The Rock Viewpoint/Kong Lor Cave and transfer you to a small village by the Hinboun River, the Ban Nakang (around 30 min drive).

• In the village, a guide will provide safety instructions before we start kayaking downstream. We will kayak along the buffalo, enjoying swimming in the river and green gardens on the river banks.

• At around noon, enjoy a picnic lunch by the river and free time to swim and relax in stunning limestone scenery with a view of Pha Ton Mountain.

• After lunch, we continue kayaking downstream, and we will make a stop to visit the Tham Sord Cave, a sacred site with a Buddha statue inside the cave. Locals worship this cave on Buddhist days.

• From here, we will continue to paddle for another 1 hour until we reach Houy Hang village, famous for its bamboo bridge and the old temple. Time to visit the village while our team arranges all the equipment in the truck for the transfer back to your hotel.

Responsibility 

When booking on a Green Discovery Laos tour, the client understands that Green Discovery Laos runs adventure tours in Southeast Asia where the standards of accommodation, transport, hygiene, level of infrastructure development and medical facilities and telecommunication services are not necessarily the same as one may used to at home, or one would find on a ‘conventional holiday’. This type of holiday inherently involves a higher level of personal risk than a ‘conventional holiday’.

Green Discovery Laos, the Government of Laos and the Lao National Tourism Administration cannot accept any responsibility for accidents, injuries, death or loss of personnel effects. The client understands that during the course of the tour, certain events may occur, including, but not limited to, accident or illness in remote places without medical facilities, political instability and the forces of nature. The client agrees to assume all risks associated with the journey to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

Each client acknowledges that travel on a Green Discovery Laos tour requires a degree of flexibility and understands that the itinerary, accommodation and modes of transport are subject to change without prior notice due to local circumstances. Should Green Discovery Laos deem it advisable to amend an itinerary for any reason, it may do so by shortening, varying or re-routing any trip. These changes are binding and additional expenses will be charged to the client, if the reason for any alternation is outside control from Green Discovery Laos.
