Day Itinerary
Your driver picks you up at your hotel in Pakse and climbs onto the plateau through coffee and banana country.

Twin cascades dropping more than 120 metres into a jungle gorge, the most striking view on the plateau.

A multi-tiered cascade with a natural pool and shaded paths down to the base, easy to explore at your pace.

A family-run plantation around kilometre 40, with a walk through the plants, the production stages, and a tasting.

A wide curtain of water over a calm pool, the usual swim and lunch stop before the drive back.
Back to your hotel in Pakse in the late afternoon.

The Bolaven Plateau is one of the great coffee regions of Southeast Asia. Add a Coffee Making Workshop in Paksong to any tour: learn how coffee is grown and processed, roast your own, and finish with a tasting. About three hours, and you take your roasted coffee home.

The price covers the private vehicle and driver, fuel, tolls and parking. It's the whole vehicle for up to 6 people, not a price per person. Meals, accommodation, site entrance fees and personal expenses are not included, so you only pay for what you use along the way.
You book the whole vehicle, not a seat. The minivan takes up to 6 people for one flat price. The tuk tuk on the 1-day tour takes up to 4, with $10 added for 5 to 6. Larger groups are possible with a second vehicle, just ask.
A driver is all you need. You set the route and the pace and visit each site on your own. If you'd like a guide, meals or accommodation arranged, we can add an all-inclusive option on request.
