Unique experience - Great experience, back to basics. Especially our tour guide Xai was fantastic. The food was amazing, as well as the explanations about the nature, the area, and the animals.

Great experience, highly recommended! - An experience perfectly tailored to my interests. 3 days of Hunter Trails with one night in the jungle and one in Muang Sing so we could start there early in the morning. Hike about 10 km each on the first two days. Many thanks to my excellent guide Peng!!

Great experience - Finally a hike that keeps its promise. The first two days were 7 hours of hiking (including short breaks), quite a bit up and down, in different forests. On the third day, 30 km of kayaking through beautiful primary jungle was also great. The food was very good and varied (I chose vegetarian) and the guides did a great job too. I'm choosing THE HIKER again!

Best Trekking Tour in Laos - This is the third time I have been on a trekking tour with The Hiker. Everything is arranged individually. Many organizations have at least 8 people. The Hiker keeps the groups small. There is always a tour guide and a local guide who knows the area very well. The food is freshly cooked and is absolutely amazing. I have already booked several trekking tours with other organizations but The Hiker beats them all. The guides are very knowledgeable and explain a lot. They make sure that safety is guaranteed and you just feel like you are in good hands. Tom has a really great team and most of the tour guides have been working there for years and with passion. Xai was the tour guide this time and I was very satisfied as always. I can recommend The Hiker to everyone. Thanks again to the team and I will be back

Great experience, fantastic guide! - We were only two people so the price was a bit higher, but we really had the best time during this trek! We had a wonderful guide named Mun who was explaining us a lot about the nature and the culture of the tribes in Laos. He was born on the country side and that really made for interesting talks. He was following our pase and was very helpful. Hiker is really a good company. They work with local guides and support the villages in that way. The villagers get income from the tourists and take better care of the forest because of it. The camping in the jungle was amazing and the village stay was so nice. We had great vegetarian food and a soft bed an musquito net. Hiker may be a little bit more expensive but it is really a fare company. If you pay less it is not possible to do eco tourism, becouse then there is not enough money left to support everyone involved.

Super Wanderung! - We were on the hunting trails tour for three days with Noy, Puon (?) and other guides from The Hiker. It got us sweating (steep mountains), but it was a lot of fun! We hiked 6-7 hours per day (including breaks). You should bring a little bit of hiking experience, good shoes and some basic fitness. We received a lot of exciting information about plants, animals, history and culture and ate delicious local food. Thanks for the great time!

Enjoyed the 3 day trek with The Hiker - I did the 3 day hunter trail trek with the hiker and really enjoyed the experience: Beautiful and varying nature in different altitudes, fresh and delicious food (how did they make it so good?!), just watching the night sky with all the stars that are revealed without the light pollution and listening the sounds of the jungle. Kham and Vong were fun and thoughtful guides, teaching us how to recognize eatible plants from the nature, cook with bamboo tools and telling about local lifestyle. One of the most fun experience was when they found a liana for us to swing while trekking in the jungle. Real tarzan vibes. Ban Nalan village provided us comfortable accommodation for the second night. Also, dance lession with the villagers around bondfire was so much fun. Hunter trail was physically challenging: up and down almost all the time but I loved the challenge: the views look so good after really pushing it to the limits. Also, all respect to the villagers who climb the mountains daily to collect bamboo and ratan: an elderly lady passed our hiking group easily while we were catching out breath and trying to get the energy to continue up. For those who prefer less physical hikes, the hiker provides other trail options :)

Hunter Trail January 2024 - Overall, we enjoyed our 3 day hike on the Hunter Trail. The food was definitely the highlight, both food brought with from the market and especially that foraged while hiking. The hike had a good variety of scenery between the fields and village life to primary and secondary forest. A couple of things we thought could be improved. There was the lack of basic camping education such as leave no trace principles, which was definitely needed in our group of mixed experience. There were a few camps used by The Hiker that had toilet paper and plastic wrappers left behind. Although our guides, Noy and Puon, did a good job of cleaning up plastic along the way. When we arrived at the village there was no introduction to our host family nor explanation of appropriate social interactions which left a bit of guessing on our part. In hindsight we should have asked for clarification.

Great hike - I (female, 30) chose the 3 day hunter trail. They informed me that in rain season the trek is hard, but in dry season the trek is moderate. I think that's fair. Just like the hike ciudad perdida in Colombia, there is some steep climbing and descending every day, but also more even parts. The difference is that these paths are very small and covered in leaves (which makes is a little slippery, even when dry). The first night in the jungle was really cold (the sleeping bag is really thin), but in the village we were provided with warm blankets. Overall the trekking was really nice! The guides got a lot of food from the jungle, prepared it on a fire and served it on banana leaves. They explained us about the jungle and about life in the villages. A great experience that I would definitely recommend!
