Book your tour in advance, as spaces are limited and tours are staggered.
The Classic and Waterfall tours offer the best chances of spotting gibbons.
Pack light, as you'll need to carry everything on your back during hikes and ziplining.
Bring a flashlight, water bottle, and earplugs.
Consider staying in Huay Xai the night before your tour, as you'll need to check in early.
