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.”
Kayak the Nam Song, tube through caves, enjoy a banana-leaf BBQ, and explore Vang Vieng on this lively five-hour adventure.
“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. My tour was supposed to be 7 hours but we were rushed all day and I was back an hour early. I would have like to have more breaks between all the activities. 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.
“Would not recommend this tour if you are a solo traveller. I was under the impression that I would be put with a small group, however that was not the case. When I asked if I would be with other people during the activity’s, they said yes, which was not the case at all. 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…”

“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.”
