“Great day kayaking on the river, tubing and caving was good and zip lining was fantastic! Such beautiful views and scenery. Great lunch provided too, I would highly recommend.”
Review of Vang Vieng’s Namxay Viewpoint, Blue Lagoon 1, and Phoukham Cave tour, with practical advice on hiking, crowds, guides, and value.
“This was a hard climb to the viewpoint, taking 45 Minutes each way. It is tough if you are one the older participants. As a 65 year old fit and active gym attending person I didn’t expect it to be so hard. Lovely views once at the top. Blue lagoon was lovely to swim in after the climbing to the viewpoint and then the reclining Buddha in the cave. Not sure I would do it again.”

“Overall the tour was good. The small rapids are exciting. Transport in an open Tuktuk was very cold in the morning, so bring something extra to wear.

If the Ziplining is not included in your package you can buy it for about 15$ there. Otherwise you will have to wait for all Zipliners around 40min. But it was fun. The tubing in the cave is a 10min activity. All in all a nice day and well organised,…”
Review of Vang Vieng’s $20 zip line tour, forest views, cave tubing, safety, transport, value, and who should book.

The ‘guide’ was not a tour guide at all and did not speak to me instead just pointed to the next activity and I followed him. If you are with a bigger group this could be a fun activity as long as you don’t rely on the guide. Considering I was the only one to be…”
