Our tuk-tuk will pick you up from your hotel, or if close to our boat station, our staff will meet you and walk you there. At the boat, our staff takes you through the trip for the day, then leaving you in the hands of our trustworthy captain, the Banana boat takes you across the Mekong to visit Pottery Village. You will meet a friendly local guide, who is also an experienced pottery maker, taking you for a tour around the village to visit pottery making families. Then it's time for you to try to make your own pottery creation! They hope to get the pottery back to you the next day, firing permitting.
Go back on the boat and enjoy cruise the Mekong downstream to Ban Sing and your picnic lunch. You get off at this village and the captain accompanies you on local transport (flat bed truck) to get to Kuangsi Waterfall. Visit the Bear Rescue Area, which rescue bears from poachers, exotic pet owners, or people planning to use them in traditional medicine. Then enjoy swimming in the natural pools. Further on are the pools and trail that leads to the magical falls. Then head further down the road to the Butterfly Garden (optional).
