To make the most of our day in Vang Vieng, we booked a tour that picked us up from our accommodation. Before our adventure began, our guide wrote the initials of our planned activities on each of our hands. Mine had "K" for kayaking and "B" for Blue Lagoon 1. Here's the story of that unforgettable day.

Kayaking Adventure

Our first stop was the Nam Song River for kayaking. After our guide gave us a quick briefing, we hopped into our kayaks and let the river's flow take us. The journey started off calmly, and the lush green scenery around us made for a truly enjoyable experience. The limestone cliffs and forests looked like something out of a movie scene. While paddling, we soaked in the peaceful atmosphere of Vang Vieng. Kayaking was a fantastic way to have fun and connect with nature.

Blue Lagoon 1: Calmness Meets Excitement

At the end of our kayaking tour, we reached Blue Lagoon 1, one of Vang Vieng's most famous spots. True to its name, it was a turquoise-colored pond. People were jumping into the water from ropes tied to trees. I got caught up in the excitement and decided to try it myself.

However, I have to give you a warning here: be very careful when jumping into the water! I made a wrong landing and ended up with huge bruises on my legs that, unfortunately, took a very long time to heal. So, while these jumps look fun, remember to prioritize your safety.


Despite the incident, the overall atmosphere of the lagoon was fantastic. You can sit and relax under the trees, enjoy the surrounding scenery, or simply cool off in the water. Blue Lagoon felt like a perfect blend of adventure and peace.


Our day in Vang Vieng offered an unforgettable experience filled with nature and adventure. If you ever find yourself in Vang Vieng, you might consider adding these two activities to your list.
