Tad Sae Waterfall, Luang Prabang

DO NOT GO DURING THE DRY SEASON! DO NOT SUPPORT ELEPHANT RIDING/CAPTIVITY! We motorbiked there for a day trip in February. 5,000 kip to park, 10,000kip/person for a quick boat ride to the falls (not optional), and 15,000kip/person to enter. Nowhere were we told that the falls were COMPLETELY DRY. The only water that was there was some dirty water from a pipe that was being pumped in for the elephants. Oh yeah they also have ELEPHANT RIDING there so be aware. We absolutely do not support elephant captivity or riding and that alone could be enough to skip it. They also have some other animals in cages. We were there for about 10 minutes and decided to ask for a refund. Managed to get 1 ticket refunded. Besides the falls being completely dry the whole place gives off a dirty vibe in more ways that one. Go to Kuang Si its infinitely better even in the dry season.

Beautiful location on the river. Great place to relax and enjoy looking at the waterfalls, have a swim, ride an elephant or have a bite to eat. Worth spending some time. If you book a package, make sure it includes Tad Sae Waterfall.

So nice place! Nice jungle trail around river. Amazing water, but in the time I was there, water was pretty cold... 😁...don forgot take your swimming dress. Just I don't like elephant riding and the small monkey in cage...😣

Excellent ambience. Cool green place. Emerald green waters and multi layered swimming ponds.A sweet place to swim,rest and relax .

Great spot. Water was refreshing. Lots of available amenities. Different animals. Plenty to see and do.
