Review of Luang Prabang’s Kuang Si Falls trip, with swimming, forest paths, hotel pickup, Hmong village stops, and a Mekong sunset cruise.

“Waterfalls fairly good but similar to lots of ones we had already seen in SE Asia. The cruise back along the Mekong river was the highlight for us 5/5! Really relaxing, great views with the sunset and a big bottle of beer to go with it.”

For kayaking in the morning we had torrential downpour levels of rain, which obviously is noones fault, but still meant we were freezing and just kind of done by lunch. Ziplining after however was really fun.”

10.Day Trip Vientiane – VangVieng by Express Train

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 4 reviews · 9 hours · from $177

Review of a Vientiane to Vang Vieng day trip by train, with Angel Cave, Blue Lagoon, Nam Song River, costs, tips, and honest value advice.

“It wasn’t so good an experience. It was a rip off for the price they charged. The guides were nice and very accommodating but the English was poor. I had to google a lot of the information. They only spend about 1/4 of the price on the actual trip. Everything else goes to overhead. It’s better to do the trip on your own and save some money. It’s not worth paying so much for a guide that doesn’t add much value other than reservations and transportation. The price for it wasn’t worth it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · from $150

Cycle from Vientiane through villages and rice fields to Tad Moon Waterfall, then kayak the Mekong back with lunch by the river.

“It was a great way to spend the day seeing Vientiane. We rode mountain bikes for 45 km, ate a great lunch by the bank of the Mekong. Took a boat to an island. Along the way there was an elephant that my wife was able to ride on. The ride was long, not too difficult, but it is not for beginners.”
