Vangvieng Climbing & Ballon Area (Departure from Vientiane)

Laying, the guide, was super friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, and Nan, the driver was excellent, safe and a sweet lady. The whole experience was a delight, I loved the adventure of it all.

Punch (that's what je said his name was), was great. Friendly, punctual and ever willing to share some Khmer history not just of Laos but also the links the place has with Thailand, China, Myanmar and Laos. He is a graduate of a college in Bangkok and speaks good communication English and teaches IT related matter when he is not guiding. Climbing the Nom Xay view point was a challenge for us but he was always around at every point to make sure we are ascended safely. Though we did not ask, he is aware enough of our dietary requirement that he stopped by at a halal restaurant for us to pack our lunch prior to proceeding to the next destination.

this tour was absolute amazing! communication was wonderful. the operator was super transparent about the safety concern as it relates to taking my 2 year old. they were accommodating so that we could still attend without the portion that posed a risk climbing. our guide was a wonderful communicator and the pace was awesome. the views were out of this world! the guide was friendly and his English was great as well. on the tour my 2 year old slipped getting out of the pool and needed to go to the hospital. the guide was absolutely amazing. he was able to take us, translate for us, and once we were cleared, we were able to complete the tour. the drive was an hour and a half and they were extremely courteous, including a bathroom and snack stop on the way. lunch was great as well. I’ve never had such amazing professionalism and care on any tour I’ve been on. I, 10/10, recommend this company and will be booking in the future. if you’re considering it, go ahead and book.

It was a very good experience. The pickup was at 8 am from Ibis Vientiane. The car was comfortable and the tour guide was excellent. We first visited Nam Xay Viewpoint. The climb was steep and difficult but absolutely amazing view from the top. Next visited Blue Lagoon, Jang Cave and Hot Air Balloon Viewpoint. It was truly amazing experience.

Excellent tour with excellent guide Mr. Taiy. We managed to cover all the itinarery even though the climbing of the hill was tough due to the rain the day before that makes the climbing hard and slippery(muddy). Mr. Taiy waited, guide and help us through the tour. All is good! Highly recommended!

Such a great and enjoyable tour. We are so grateful for Gao and Jik for making our trip fun and memorable. We enjoyed all the places we have visited. Will never forget how challenging and rewarding it was to climb and reach Nam Xay Viewpoint. We are so thankful to Gao who have made sure of our safety during the hike. The view above was breathtaking which made the hike worth it. We had lunch at the blue lagoon 3. The lagoon was a beautiful shade of blue almost turquoise. My favorite part of the tour was the hot air balloon. We really enjoyed all the places we have visited. It was all beautiful and amusing. Thank you so much again to Gao and Jik! We had an amazing time!! We highly recommend this tour.

It was definitely worth the travel. We started by picking hotels, then went to a coffee shop together to get fresh coffee. The travel started around 1 hour before we arrived at Namxai Viewpoint. It is an extremely steep mountain climb. I think it could be a fresh experience, but you need to be careful. Once you arrive at the top of the mountain, you will see a great panoramic view and good photo opportunities. Then we went to Blue Lagoon. It was a fun area where we could relax a little, eat, and swim. Jang Cave is good, but I highly recommend going behind Jang Cave where there is an underwater cave 250 meters long. It's such a great experience to swim under that cave. I never had this experience before - it was so good. It was not in our plan, but when we saw it, we told our Guide Gao about it. He was so friendly and open-minded that he agreed, and instead of visiting a temple, we decided to stay there and swim. Our guide Gao was exceptionally friendly with a great attitude throughout the entire trip. He was knowledgeable, accommodating to our requests, and made sure we had the best experience possible. Sky balloon was comfortable to be there, drink or eat. When I arrived there, I chose Paramotor which was a great experience and worth the $90 I paid for it. Overall, it was a great experience. Our group was 3 people, but we enjoyed ourselves so much, talked to each other, and shared experiences about our countries' cultures, etc.

Great tour to Vang Vieng from Vientiane. Our guide Gao was very good and everything was perfectly planned.

A beautiful Trip with an Perfect Guide (Gao). We were only two Person and do it was a greatful day. All was fantastic. we have Not to do the Paramotor or Ballon Drive.
