The experience

The day starts with a hotel pickup in Vientiane and a transfer to Vang Vieng, where you'll move between five main activities by tuk-tuk and private car. The Vang Vieng Jungle Zipline is the centerpiece: you'll clip into a harness and descend through the rainforest canopy on Tarzan-style lines, with a weight limit of 100 kg. After that comes Jang Cove, where you hike past stalactites and stalagmites, then swim in the lagoon next to the cave entrance.

The underground cave rafting happens in the same area: you'll don a headlamp, climb onto a tire inner tube, and drift along a subterranean river into a cavern system. After lunch, you'll paddle a kayak along the Nam Song River, watching limestone cliffs rise from the water. Blue Lagoon 2 offers a swim in turquoise water or a chance to swing on a rope out over it. The day closes at the Paramotor Sunset Base with approximately 15 minutes of paramotor flight: a powered paraglide that climbs and descends over rice fields at dusk.

An English-speaking guide leads the group throughout. The itinerary runs 11 hours total, which means an early start and a late return to Vientiane. You'll be dropped back at your hotel or the meeting point in Vang Vieng at the end. Return transport to Vientiane is not included, so arrange that separately or book a return transfer on your own.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (6 to 16 years). Children under 6 can't be included in the booking.

Can I do the ziplining and paramotor if I weigh over 100 kg?

No. Both the jungle zipline and the paramotor flight have a 100 kg weight limit for safety reasons. If you're at or above that weight, you can still join the day trip and participate in the cave hike, lagoon swim, underground rafting, and kayaking, but you'll skip those two activities.

What's the underwater cave rafting like?

You'll wear a headlamp and float on a tire inner tube while drifting along an underground river into a cave system next to Jang Cove. It's a slow, peaceful float through darkness and stone rather than an active paddling experience.

How much of the day is spent traveling between sites?

Tuk-tuk and car transfers connect the five main stops, but the itinerary doesn't break down travel time separately. The full day runs 11 hours from pickup to drop-off, so expect some time in transit alongside the activities themselves.

What's the minimum age to join?

Children are welcome from age 6. Infants must sit on an adult's lap during transfers.

Do I need any experience with ziplining or paramotor flight?

No. The jungle zipline and paramotor flight are both designed for first-timers. The guide will brief you on safety and technique before each activity.
