See Vang Vieng’s karst countryside from a hot air balloon, with hotel pickup, a flight certificate, and coffee or champagne afterward.
“We went for a sunrise balloon ride. Alex was the man! He spoke English and explained all the details to us. The pilot do not speak English but clearly was great at his job. Felt very safe and we LOVED the ride, amazing views!!!”

“Pick up was late (40mins) for balloon ride- but balloon was great. Pick up for day activity was late again ( waited 45mins - so 15 mins late) . Guides didn’t speak English so weren’t sure what we were doing when - had a good day though with activities .Lunch was a bit disappointing & venue was dirty - our guide dropped off at the last activity & left us with the driver.”

“It was phenomenal! We had to wait due to rain. But once the rain stopped the crew were super speedy to set up five baloons and get everyone in the air. It was so peaceful. I get motion sick easily and was worried. But didn’t feel sick at all. Vang vieng is stunning”

“It was a great experience for me, my first time riding a hot air balloon, my first time using a buggy car , and I'd also like to thank Ticke for teaching me how to use the buggy car and accompanying me 😊.
