What a great day out. We did everything that we wanted, with out wasting too much time on things you dont want to do. We were collected from our guesthouse, and driven to the elephant park where we firstly did a short trek through a small jungle forest. What I really wanted to do was go swimming with the elephants,... More

We did the half-day tour with the elephants and it was excellent. The tour guide came to meet us in front of our hotel and then another guy took us to the elephant camp. We went riding the elephants for about an hour which was fun, but the best part definitely came after, when we went bathing with the elephants.... More

Me and my girlfriend did a trek and bathing the elephants. The trek was ok but same as everywhere but the bathing was amazing. The elephants seem to enjoy it as much as you do!! Great fun but hard to get any information off anyone and its a little disorganised but amazing experience! Highly recomended!! More

Having been sold a 1 day trip - half trekking and half elephant riding, I only got a 1hr trek and the day was finished by 2pm. I spent a long time back at the office asking for a refund of some of my money, with no luck unfortunately. I would strongly recommend that people do not book with this... More

Ok so this is not a review for the elephant experience but the 1/2 day kayaking trip, but it was with the same company (Jewel Travel). We booked a kayaking trip for 200000 kip (about $25US). We had wanted to go on single kayaks but when we arrived at the place to pick up the kayaks they were out of... More

Firstly to clarify, I did not go on the elephant trek - but the 1 day tribal village trek, but by the same company in Luang Prabang 13.7 Sisavangvong Rd. Trek was $39 (for a group of 6) but as a nice touch they included a second guide due to the size of our group. Both of the guides were... More

A smaller tour, personalised tour, colected us from our guest house, boat trip down the river, lunch, and their 2 elephants were great! The river bathing was pure adventure...as was the dunking I got from my elephant. Loved it. Highlight of my trip. Highly recommend them. Well priced for a day trip. More

This is not a review of Jewel Travel's Elephant Experience, but a bike trip they arranged for us. We were walking along the main street of Luang Prabang trying to figure out how to spend half a day for which we had no plan. We stepped into the office of Jewel Travel, attracted by the sight of a number of... More

After researching a few travel companies we went with this one and did a full day of kayaking and elephant riding. Our guide, Thong, was awesome and I'd highly recommend this company to others. More
