Experience the same fantastic views of Vang Vieng from up high as the balloon smoothly floats over the town. From the sky you will see across the lime karst mountains, the Nam Song River, and the town itself. We speak English, Chinese, Thai and Lao.

We fly at 6am and at 5pm (depending on the season) and the flight time is 30 minutes. $110 per person. Includes free transport to and from your hotel. Bookings can be made at our office, by phone or online.

We will pick you up from your hotel and take you to watch the balloons being readied. Once inflated you will climb on and our friendly, professional pilot will welcome you aboard. For the next 30 minutes or so you will cruise over Vang Vieng town and see the magnificent mountains and the Nam Song from high above. Remember to bring your camera for a truly unforgettable trip.
