Tailor-made Holidays to Laos

What our travellers say

Local experiences, a far cry from tourist traps… an experience we’ll never forget

Laos is a fascinating country with many strong traditions and cultures that make it a very special place. Our guides were a real joy, nothing was too much trouble and they showed us some very local experiences, far from tourist traps. The dawn visit to Wat Phou was just astonishing. To be the only people there and climb those steps in the dark, watch the sunrise and then turn round to see the strange temple is an experience I'll never forget.

Get ready to set your watch to “Lao time”

Spoiler alert: “Lao time” is best enjoyed soaking up scenic riverside spots from richly-woven hammocks, strolling through cobbled Unesco-heritage towns, or marvelling at dramatic, lush green landscapes that will leave you craving simpler times forever more…

Call us biased but it’s one of our favourite spots for natural beauty in Southeast Asia.

So, all you have to do is tell us what you love (or hate) and we’ll get plotting your authentic personalised holiday.

Then you can see the real Laos and lose track of time, which is the only way to do it if you ask us…

Hours spent in Laos waterfalls

Luang Prabang

This delightful Unesco-heritage protected town has some of the finest architecture, food and temples of all of Laos (as well as lots of cute boutique shops!) You could spend days in this delightful town, which has two rivers running through it, whilst exploring nearby caves, waterfalls and elephant camps.

Si Phan Don (4,000 Islands)

This cluster of islands caught in the middle of the mighty flowing Mekong is the perfect place to chill for a couple of days. Cycling to waterfalls, spotting rare river dolphins, chilling in hammocks and watching the sunset over the Mekong are all in the order of the day here.

Champasak & The Bolaven Plateau

The Bolaven Plateau is not to be missed by any die-hard coffee fans! This idyllic, hilly region is where the finest coffee in Laos grows and we have some wonderful day tours on offer here - you can even spend the night at a family home on a traditional coffee plantation. Nearby Champasak has some wonderful luxurious riverside accommodation (some of the best in Laos) and a sunrise trip to Wat Phou Temple must not be missed.

Vientiane

The riverside capital of Laos is home to some of the country's finest restaurants, spas and cafes, not to mention a fantastic collection of boutique hotels... it is the perfect place to indulge your tastebuds and senses for a day or two. Nearby there are a number of impressive temples and cultural sights which are ideal to explore by bicycle.

Vang Vieng

Something of an outdoor lover's paradise, Vang Vieng, which is set on Nam Song River, is the perfect place for anyone seeking nature based activities - as well as some more adrenalin-seeking adventures. It's backdrop of serene cliffs and vibrant green paddy fields, coupled with an excellent selection of boutique hotels, make it the ideal place to chill for a day or two.

Vieng Xai Caves

This fascinating wartime cave hideout is set in beautiful gardens backed by delightful karst scenery. It is ideal for those who are travelling onwards to Vietnam and crossing at the land border - or vice versa.
