Here are the 5 best balloon flights in Laos, with what each costs, how long it takes and who it suits. The one at the top is the one most people book, and it earns the spot.
Vang Vieng hot air balloon with city pickup, sunrise or sunset flights, 30-minute ride, and a certificate plus champagne or coffee.
“We went for a sunrise balloon ride. Alex was the man! He spoke English and explained all the details to us. The pilot do not speak English but clearly was great at his job. Felt very safe and we LOVED the ride, amazing views!!!”
Vang Vieng action day: balloon flight, Nam Song kayaking, Tham Chang cave tubing, zipline, and optional Blue Lagoon 1 swim.
“Pick up was late (40mins) for balloon ride- but balloon was great. Pick up for day activity was late again ( waited 45mins - so 15 mins late) . Guides didn’t speak English so weren’t sure what we were doing when - had a good day though with activities .Lunch was a bit disappointing & venue was dirty - our guide dropped off at the last activity & left us with the driver.”
Hot air balloon over Vang Vieng plus a fast longtail boat ride on Nam Song River, with hotel pickup and flight celebration.
“L’expérience était top, l’organisation 5 étoiles et le guide était vraiment gentil. Juste le vol ne dure que 30 min mais on a le temps d’en prendre plein les yeux.”
Vang Vieng hot air balloon with hotel pickup, panoramic 360 views over karst valleys and Nam Song River, plus optional paramotor.
“It was phenomenal! We had to wait due to rain. But once the rain stopped the crew were super speedy to set up five baloons and get everyone in the air. It was so peaceful. I get motion sick easily and was worried. But didn’t feel sick at all. Vang vieng is stunning”
A one-day Vang Vieng combo: 30-minute sunrise or sunset hot air balloon, then 4 hours of self-drive go-kart racing with hotel pickup.
“I booked a hot air balloon ride in Laos through the GetYourGuide app, and it was an amazing experience! The activity provider offered excellent service, ensuring a smooth and well-organized trip. The breathtaking views from the balloon made it truly unforgettable. The pilot and staff were professional, friendly, and focused on safety. Everything from takeoff to landing was seamless. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Laos!”
