Fodor's Expert Review Tad Sae Waterfall

Most scenically reached by boat, this waterfall is best visited between June and December, when the rivers are high and their combined waters form a thundering cascade---in other months, the waterfall will most likely be dry. The waterfall has multilevel limestone formations divided into three steps with big pools beneath them, so don't forget your bathing suit. Old waterwheels and new ziplines add an adventure component. You can get here by road and then ferry to the falls by boat, but it's delightful to arrive here by boat all the way from Luang Prabang. Be careful on the slippery paths around the falls.
