Great and Smooth-Running Experience!

5.00We had a fantastic day and everything went smoothly as planned! Hotel pickup was on time and there was clear communication in real time. First we went to the Kayaking location and we had a good workout for the 8 km trip! Several of our group never did kayaking before but it was relatively easy and the two guides were with us the entire time, guiding and leading us. Then we went hiking into Angel Cave, I would suggest doing that a bit slower to enjoy the caves, we speed-walked through it too fast. Then we went tubing through Tham None cave, it was short but a sweet and unique experience! After a short walk through the dark caves and a walk outside, we had a filling lunch which was simple but good. Lastly, ziplining was included in our tour, with 8 ziplines and 8 bridges, it was very fun!
Fun Day!

5.00This was a lot of fun. We started out kayaking down the Nam Sang River for about 2 hours, which was beautiful. Then we visited Angel Cave, followed by ziplining. It was actually a series of 7 ziplines, and it was so much fun. Then we had a good lunch at the same resort. And last, we went through the water cave, which I thought was the highlight. It was a packed day, and we were done by 2:00! Our guides, Si and Mick, were both excellent. This is a great tour to do if you're in Vang Vieng!

4.00The kayaking was beautiful but 7km for us were too much especially because i felt almost like we were on a race ti get to the end instead of stopping on the way from pictures or landscape appreciation. O suggest they have a stop in the middle for those who feels they can not go until de end because the back hearts a lot when you are tired and not prepared for the long way. Apart from that we also felt the cave tour was like a fast walking with no stop for details about the place. The guide was very friendly but i think they need to make it a bit more fun instead of just “ lets get this over with”. The zipline was amazing… the best part of the day. Food also delicious.
Overall we had a pretty...

4.00Overall we had a pretty good day. Pickup was a bit of a struggle and communication over all wasn‘t the best but it worked in the end. 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.
Absolutely amazing tour...

5.00Absolutely amazing tour esp as a solo traveller. Our guide was just fantastic: he was helpful and patient esp with me as I did not know how to kayak but he kept me going and I did it from start to finish. He was very encouraging and proactive! Highly recommend to anyone!
Wow! Such a fabulous day!

5.00A fabulous day out with a very funny & extremely competent guide, Mr Lee. The scenery was unbelievable, the kayaks were sound, we traversed a few tame (but exciting!) rapids & even kayaked with wading water buffalo! Lunch was delicious, the caves were incredible & the zip line was fun! A really great experience / do it!!

5.00Being a bit of a scaredy-cat, especially where heights, water and small spaces are concerned, this was the perfect tour to try and work on some of those fears. The staff were amazing, encouraging and professional, leaving no room for nerves. The cave tubing was truly a highlight, and was so much easier than I had ever imagined, due to good planning and organisation by our guide. Zip lining was an out-of-this-world experience, involving a solid climb, followed by 8 zip lines, two rope bridges and culminating in an abseil. I truly have now words to explain the sense of exhilaration I felt, and the value of the encouragement from our guide. Kayaking 8km (thankfully down stream) was another amazing experience, so much so that I did on two consecutive days. The scenery is beautiful, the guides knowledgeable and the tranquility of being on the river made for a lovely day.
Laos new year adventure

4.00It was really good, well worth the money. Hotel pick up /lunch provided. The only thing I can say that was not so good was the drop off at the end of the day. We were dropped off on the other side of a bridge and had to then find out way back to the hotel, note it has been a long day and we were tired and sunburnt. Luckily as it's Laos New Year plenty of water being thrown around.
Great day out

4.00Great day outing. Kayaking was easy and really enjoyable. The Zip lining was about eight short bits, which were completely enjoyable.
