Owner description:
Try out the new Tree Top Explorer – and be awarded with the experience of a lifetime in the jungle of southern Laos. It is all about adventure and fun, it is about immersing yourself in nature. The zip-line gives you an exhilarating rush! 'Fly' over deep ravines, in almost touching distance to the roaring water wall or the green roof of the forest. Enjoy the sensation of being weightless. The gorges are as gorgeous as the views are stunning. An unrivaled experience, with adrenaline levels reaching for the high - guaranteed! Trek in pristine forest and through coffee plantations. Discover the hidden world of the forest canopy from a sky-high walkway. Experience our jaw-dropping but safe via ferrata. Still eager for more adventure? Then go for 'abseiling' - even in the waterfall. It's all there!
