We did the half day kayaking and caves with lunch. After lunch we kayaked back to town. Overall approximately 2 hours of kayaking. Great value for the money.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 8 reviews · 1 day · from $58

Review of Vang Vieng’s $58 adventure day with kayaking, cave rafting, ziplining, Tham Chang, lunch, and Blue Lagoon 3.

“The activities were poorly organised with very little to no briefings. Safety precautions needed a bit of a re write as severely lacking any basic safety measures. Whole trip was very boring and definitely not worth the money. Staff spoke zero english after saying ‘english speaking’ when booking. Everyone person we encountered was rude and frankly disrespectful. The ‘lunch’ they prepared was abysmal, cold rice and 2 rock hard vegetable skewers with a roll of bread. Definitely would not book again.”
