- Cathryn· April 15th, 2025This 4-day tour gave us a great introduction to southern Laos. From the moment we arrived in Pakse, everything was taken care of smoothly. Wat Phou was stunning — we visited in the morning when it was quiet and had plenty of time to explore. Then heading down to the 4,000 Islands, we stayed on Khong Island, which was such a peaceful spot to unwind. The boat rides along the Mekong were calming, and we loved visiting small villages and waterfalls like Khon Phapheng. The local food, especially the grilled fish and sticky rice, was delicious. It was a perfect short getaway!Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- Francine· March 26th, 2025I wasn’t sure what to expect from southern Laos, but this tour blew me away! The mix of history, nature, and culture was perfect. Wat Phou was fascinating, with its ancient Khmer ruins and peaceful atmosphere. The 4000 Islands were a dream—Don Khone was my favorite, with its relaxed vibe and scenic waterfalls. The trip to Khong Island was also great, offering a chance to see local village life and take in some amazing Mekong views. The pace was just right, with enough time to explore but also to relax and soak in the surroundings. This was my third trip to Laos, and I’m already planning to come back!Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- Aurelio· March 13th, 2025This tour was a hidden gem! We had never heard much about southern Laos, but this trip completely surprised us. Wat Phou was fascinating—like a smaller, more peaceful Angkor Wat. The 4,000 Islands were incredibly scenic, and Don Khone had such a laid-back vibe. We loved cycling through the villages, stopping for fresh coconut water, and watching the sunset over the Mekong. The waterfall visit and dolphin spotting made it even more special! The guide was excellent, always making sure we were comfortable and sharing interesting stories about the region. If you're looking for a unique experience in Laos, this tour is a must!Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- Brett· February 20th, 2025We were looking for a short but enriching trip in Laos, and this tour was exactly what we needed! Wat Phou was an absolute gem—the combination of Khmer architecture and the surrounding mountains made it feel almost magical. Our journey through the 4000 Islands was just as memorable. Don Khone and Khong Islands had a charming, off-the-beaten-path feel, with friendly locals and peaceful riverside views. We took a boat ride to see the Liphi Waterfall, which was spectacular, and then relaxed with fresh Lao coffee at a small café on the riverbank. The pace of the tour was perfect—not too rushed, yet we covered a lot in four days. I’d highly recommend this to history lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone wanting to experience the authentic beauty of southern Laos!Show moreTrip date: December 2024
- Janis· January 22nd, 2025We recently completed the 4-day Pakse Stopover Sightseeing Tour and couldn’t be happier with the experience! Wat Phou was a stunning start—the ancient ruins were mesmerizing, and the views from the hilltop were worth the climb. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the history and significance of the site in such an engaging way. Don Khone was our favorite stop—exploring the island on a bicycle and seeing the old French railway bridge was such a unique experience. The visit to the waterfalls, especially Khone Phapheng Falls, was a highlight; the sheer power of the water was awe-inspiring. Khong Island was the perfect spot to unwind. We loved the slower pace, friendly locals, and beautiful sunsets over the Mekong River. The accommodations throughout the trip were comfortable, and everything was well-organized. Highly recommend this tour for a mix of culture, nature, and relaxation!Show moreTrip date: January 2025
- Henrietta· October 22nd, 2024A Must-Do Tour for Southern Laos. I loved every moment of this 4-day Pakse tour! Wat Phou was an incredible ancient site, and the views from the top were breathtaking. The peaceful atmosphere of Don Khone and the excitement of seeing waterfalls made the experience even more special. Khong Island was the perfect relaxing end to the tour, with a chance to see the famous dolphins. Highly recommended!Show moreTrip date: August 2024
- Daisy· June 10th, 2020Peaceful island, spectacular waterfals, great to bike around! Anw, the boat is not very comfortable. Thank you Phala- our lovely guide for being so thoughtful and for teaching us how to say thank you "Khop jai". _Daisy Mary Winny_Show moreTrip date: March 2020
- Marcos· April 27th, 2020From the moment we stepped out of Pakse airport, we were warmly greeted by our tour guide and our driver. Both of them are very knowledgeable, kind and funny. They were also very perceptive to our needs and sprayed the car with mosquito repellant. Our trip was tailored matching with our needs and we couldn't have been happier. The food was also excellent. Vietlong travel was great to work with excellent staffs. Highly recommended! Highlights: Stopover in Pakse will give us informative trip to Tadlo, Champasak, Wat Phou, Don KhongShow moreTrip date: November 2019
- Robbie· April 20th, 2020We only had 4 days in Myanmar with Vietlong Travel but they made it extraordinary.

Big thanks to VL team!Show moreTrip date: October 2019

Asked on March 20th, 2025If I want to start day 1 from Pakse airport is there a certain arrival time to consider? Or would pick-up only work from a Pakse hotel? On the last day after breakfast drop-off at the airport is included. Around what time would this be (earliest/latest)?
VietLong TravelOperator•Written March 2025We can arrange the pickup at the airport instead of the hotel. Pickup time for departure will depend on your flights, 2-3 hours before. If early, before 6am, we can arrange breakfast box if needed. We do not fix the time but pick up based your your flights. it is flexible.

Traveler•Written March 2025Doesn't day 1 have an itinerary? For example it looks like we visit the Tad Fan waterfall and Tad Lo etc. I assume this means that only an early morning arrival at Pakse airport on day 1 is possible. If it's an afternoon/evening arrival at Pakse airport I would need an additional night in Pakse (prior to the tour), right? On day 4; would breakfast and drop-off at Pakse airport still be included if I book a flight that leaves at 8.30am?
- VietLong TravelOperator•Written March 2025
If we arrive and start from Day 1, we can still arrange to visit all mentioned sites. However, you arrive one day early, we will charge the extra airport transfer. And you need to pay for extra night. The last day, we include breakfast (breakfast box if early) and transfer to the airport for you.

Asked on October 29th, 2024I'm a solo traveler interested in this 4 day southern Laos tour for March 2025. I would like to join an existing group, so my dates are flexible. Can you suggest appropriate dates of travel?

Traveler•Written November 2024Since this 4 day tour is now private, is the price of $611 for a potential shared twin room the same or must I pay $1161 for a single private room?
