Kayaking on the Nam Song River
Enjoying the Nam Song River

The Nam Song River flows through Vang Vieng, once famous for its wild tubing parties. In its heyday, thousands of young travelers flocked to the lively riverside bars daily. However, government intervention has since quieted the scene, reducing the number of bars and tubers. Today, Vang Vieng offers a more serene experience, though a few vibrant bars still nod to its party past.

Kayaking on the Nam Song River

Beyond tubing, kayaking on the Nam Song River is a popular activity. It covers the same scenic areas as tubing and extends to more untouched sections upstream. Some kayaking trips include an exciting tube swim through a cave about 15 km from Vang Vieng. This activity offers a more active way to enjoy the river's natural beauty, perfect for families and friends.
