Laos · BLUE LAGOON & CAVE TUBING TRIPS
14 reviewed
Blue Lagoon 1 is the busy one with the rope swing, and the numbered lagoons further out are where the afternoon gets quiet. These are the best blue lagoon and cave tubing trips: which lagoons each visits, whether the Tham Nam tube run is included, how much walking the cave entrance needs, and what a full day out costs.
Kayak the Nam Song River, tube through Tham Nam None Cave, then picnic and zip line in Vang Vieng, Laos.
“Amazing tour guide and well planned activities. Zero complaints. Def on the expensive side for Laos to note. But it is worth it to pay a premium to ensure a positive experience rather than gamble on a local tour from a random street booth”
4-hour Namxay Viewpoint hike, Blue Lagoon 1 swim, Phoukham Cave golden Buddha visit. Hotel pickup, water, fees for $29.
“Our guide waited for me being the last in the climb. I'm 70 in relatively top shape and slim but this was at 120% of my capacity. The activity should be limited to 65 if in good shape. Some younger women were red in the face and out of breath but recuperated faster than me”

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.”
