The only Lao-French owned, operated and regulated by the Civil Aviation ballooning company! Drift gently above the lovely valley of Nathong, surrounded by the dramatic karst cliffs, in one of our small to medium-sized balloons (max. 8 passengers for the largest balloon). An unforgettable moment with a friendly and competent team, followed by bubbles, snacks and a souvenir certificate.

I have been I seen the Mekong in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam. I was recently in Luang Prabang and I jumped on a chance for a river cruise down the Mekong to the Pak Ou caves.It's a good trip, the mountains that follow the river make for great scenery. So peaceful on the river and we stopped at a village on the river to see their handicrafts and try their local whiskey. The caves were interesting with all their buddha statues inside. So if you are in Luang Prabang it's worth a trip down the Mekong to see the beautiful countryside.

9. Blue Lagoon 3

Reviewed By goodmclean - Brisbane, Australia
After a bone jarring one hour tuk tuk ride, we arrived at the lagoon at 10am. We were the only people there to start with. The water was not as blue as the photos, but still lovely and clear. The water was cold, but not freezing. The swing and zip line over the water are the highlight, but there are still lots of other things if you are not into flying into the water! Tyre tubes, bamboo rafts, beam/log to walk along, kayaks, so much to do. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced (most meals 20,000 - 30,000) We thought maybe an hour or two would be plenty of time, but we ended up spending 5 hours here. Such an incredible day. Can’t recommend it enough.

Amazing.. Seriously amazing and fun.. Get a mountain bike and explore... Its easily the cheapest and most fun way of doing the lagoons and caves. You will not be disspointed. The whole loop is no more than 5 hours so is a proper day out and No carbon footprint and no falling off a moped and ruining yourself and your stay... Get up get out and lively in the most beautiful country in the world bar none... Anyone who thinks Laos vang vieng has nothing to offer but a drinking culture just needs to cross the bridge to paradise xx
