Between 08:00 and 08:30 from your hotel. You are back at your hotel between 14:00 and 14:30.

Is there a tour guide?

No. This is a self-guided day, so you have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Transport and insurance are included.

Will other people join our group?

No. It is a private tour, just for your group.

What do we do at Cafe Elephant?

You spend about 1 hour at Cafe Elephant, where you can relax, feed the elephants and take photos up close. Food for the elephants and drinks at the cafe are not listed as included, so bring some cash.

Can I climb the sticky waterfall?

Yes. Minerals coat the rocks with a rough limestone crust, so your feet grip well and you can walk up through the water. Many people find bare feet grip best.

Sunscreen, insect spray, swimwear, spare clothes, a towel, and flip-flops or shoes.

Is it good for children?

Yes. The day is designed for visitors and families of all ages.
