Questions & Answers

Everything you need
to know

What does the multi-day price include?

The private minivan and driver for the whole trip, fuel, tolls and parking. It's per vehicle for up to 6 people, not per person. Meals, accommodation, entrance fees, boats and personal expenses are not included, so you choose where to stay and eat, or we can arrange an all-inclusive version.

Should I choose the 3-day or the 4-day tour?

The 3-day and 4-day share the same first two days, nights in Tad Lo and Champasak, with the plateau, villages and Wat Phou. The 3-day then finishes at the 4000 Islands and can drive back the same day. The 4-day adds a night on the islands and a full day to explore Don Det and Don Khone. Tell us your dates and we'll help you choose.

Can the tour end on the islands instead of back in Pakse?

Yes. Both tours finish in the 4000 Islands, so you can be dropped there to continue toward Cambodia or to stay on, instead of driving back to Pakse. Just let us know when you book.

Can you change the route?

Yes. These are private tours, so the pace and stops are flexible, and we're happy to build a custom version around your interests and dates. Send us what you have in mind.

Where do we sleep?

Nights are in Tad Lo, Champasak and on the islands depending on the tour. Accommodation isn't included by default so you can pick your own comfort level, or we can book it for you as part of an all-inclusive package.

What is the cancellation policy?

A small deposit secures the booking. It's refundable up to 30 days before departure, less a $15 administration fee. Within 30 days of departure the deposit is non-refundable.
