Hi Senne, you would only lose your deposit if you cancelled less than 72 hours before the activity starts. (To book you need to pay a deposit which is fully refundable up until 72 hours before the start of your tour.) For this particular slow boat tour, you only need to pay the operator the remaining amount on the actual day of the tour, so you would not lose the remaining money by cancelling. It’s important to note that other tours on this platform have different rules regarding when the operator needs to receive the remaining payment. If you need to cancel for any reason, just email or Whatsapp us and we can refund you, no questions asked.

Hi Eva, so at the luxury accommodation (Le Grande Pak Beng), you would have to get 2 separate rooms for 4 people. Price per room (2 people) is $390 USD so X 2 would be $780 USD. This price includes the cruise and the room. Any more questions just let me know!

Hi Georgia, see prices below.
2 people, cruise, no accommodation = $280 USD
2 people, cruise, standard accommodation (private double room) = $320 USD
Hope that helps!
All the best, Nikki

Can you please quote how much currently it would be to get this above package for 2 people including standard accommodation (for 2 people) please?
And the Price without accommodation for 2 People?

Thank You
Georgia

Hi there! Thanks for your question. The boat arrives at the pier in Luang Prabang at around 17:00 and you should be at your hotel (depending on the location) by 17:30 – 17:45.

Thank you

Hi Marion, the departure dates from March 2025 onwards have not yet been released by the boat company. Departure dates will be confirmed nearer the time. I can let you know when it’s available to book by email or Whatsapp if you send me your details. All the best!

It’s slow travel but the scenery is perfect to spend time looking around. Our guide has been great, with answers for a lot of specific knowledge about this part of Asia.

Also, the hotel selected for the mid-journey has been great, with a swimming pool and a nice view for sunset.

I would recommend this tour to family and friends who want to travel in this region.

Hi Lisanne,

1) Standard accommodation will be at either BKC Villa, Monsavanh Guesthouse or Villa Mekong Guesthouse depending on availability. These are basic AC rooms (breakfast included).

2) Premium Accommodation will be at Sanctuary Pak Beng Lodge. These are AC rooms in a premium hotel with swimming pool (breakfast included).

3) Luxury Accommodation will be at Le Grande Pak Beng. An AC room in a premium hotel with swimming pool (breakfast included).

I will ask the hotels and add some photos to the description!

Hi there! Yes, it is very easy. There are also porters to help with luggage, so you don’t need to worry about having a wheeled suitcase.

Hi Martin, there are no electricity outlets on the boat, but you can charge your phone/laptop at the hotel in Pak Beng.

Something that cannot be missed off this review – we would not have boooked using South East Asia Backpacker if it wasn’t for Nicki’s attentive guidance that we received upon enquiry. No question too stupid for her to answer, troubleshooting everything as we needed.

Thank you very much for making the entry into Laos seamless and incredibly enjoyable.
