Since 2014
We started as river guides.
The desk came later.
Vang Vieng Adventure Co. was started by three friends who'd spent their twenties guiding tubing trips and rigging climbing ropes on the karsts. We saw too many travelers booking blindly through middle-agents who'd never set foot on the river, and the operators getting a fraction of what was paid.
So we built a small, careful catalog of the people we'd actually send our friends and family to — and let travelers book directly. That's still the whole business.

Our promise
A fair deal — to you and to the guides.
- No middlemen. The operator who takes you out is the one we pay.
- Honest reviews. We don't filter the 3-star ones.
- Safety first. Every operator carries valid insurance and is inspected each season.
- If the weather turns, we reschedule or refund — no questions.
