Before you book

  • The golf day trip is for adults only and does not include a guide: a driver takes you from stop to stop. Caddie tips are not included and are paid at the course.
  • Activity pickups cover hotels in central Vang Vieng. Hotels across the river are outside the pickup area, so check your accommodation's location against the tour's pickup rules before booking.
  • The cave-tubing tours listed here have a minimum age of 10. High water can prevent cave entry during the rainy season; the listed terms do not offer a partial refund for that change. Check operating conditions and any alternative itinerary before booking.
  • Balloon and paramotor flight times depend on the weather. You choose a sunrise or sunset slot when you book.
  • The activity tours are shared departures. Pickup times are approximate and may run around 15 minutes later than scheduled, so allow some flexibility.

How to plan it

From Vientiane: the golf, Blue Lagoon and long-tail boat tour lists hotel departure at 7:30 am and return around 7 pm. It combines 18 holes, a duck barbecue lunch, time at the Blue Lagoon and a boat ride. Green fee, caddie fee, a shared cart, lunch and entrance fees are included. Treat the timetable as an estimate, as travel and pace of play can affect the day.

A night or two in Vang Vieng: the full-day tour runs from water cave tubing and the Elephant Cave to ziplining, a picnic lunch, kayaking on the Nam Song and free time at Blue Lagoon 1.

A shorter outing: the half-day trip lists a 9 am pickup for Tham Nam cave tubing, the Elephant Cave and kayaking on the Nam Song. Confirm the expected return time before booking an afternoon connection or another activity.

From the air: balloon and paramotor trips offer morning or evening slots with pickup in central Vang Vieng. The balloon listing gives a 6 am pickup for the morning flight; the paramotor flight itself is around 15 minutes. Weather and wind can change departure and return times, so leave a margin afterwards.

An evening in Vientiane: the night tour leaves Amari Vientiane at 7 pm, views Patuxai and That Luang from outside, then drops you at Cat Moon or the Mekong Riverside Night Market. You make your own way back afterwards. If booking for your arrival day, allow enough time to reach the meeting point from the airport.
