The Experience

Before You Go

Check weight limits before booking

Operators require a weight check for safety—provide accurate weight when booking and at check-in.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes give secure footing on launch and landing platforms amid wet surfaces.

Bring a quick-dry layer

A light, water-resistant jacket handles mist from the falls and sudden rain on the plateau.

Secure loose items

Use a strap or leave valuables with staff—phones and cameras must be tethered to avoid drops into the gorge.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sky-hammock rest stops that offer coffee above the canopy
  • Short walking trails beside the parking area with viewpoints of local coffee plantations

Wildlife

  • Hornbills
  • Long-tailed macaques

Conservation Note

Operators encourage leaving no trace and staying on designated platforms; visitors should avoid feeding wildlife and support local guides to reduce ecological disturbance.

Tad Fane sits on the Bolaven Plateau, an elevated volcanic region whose soils supported colonial-era plantations and today host local ethnic communities who manage coffee and forest resources.
