Laos Family Tours

Laos stands out as a family-friendly destination in Asia, offering a mix of adventure, culture and relaxation. The nation’s rich history and serene landscapes provide a backdrop for numerous activities that parents and kids can enjoy. The Lao people’s friendliness and adoration for children further enhance the country’s appeal for family vacations.

Safe and easy to nagivate, Luang Prabang is a great place to travel with your family. More like a little riverside town than a big city, it is extremely accessible and easily walkable to plenty of arts and cultural attractions, local markets to experience the colorful daily life, a few museums to stop by and performances to enjoy. Great outdoor activities are a stone’s throw away from the city centre with Kuang Si and Tad Sae waterfalls, Nam Khan river and beautiful mountain vistas that make it a family paradise. A fantastic way to engage the whole family in an environmentally-educational outing which is not far from Luang Prabang is a visit to The Living Land, an organic farm where all can participate in some of the activities such as planting, harvesting or ploughing. This is a great, hands-on way for kids to learn a little more about the rural lives of the people of Laos.

As a delightful fusion of old-world charm and modern-day dynamism, Vientiane is a fabulous city to explore by tuk-tuk, winding through the streets lined with French colonial architecture, interspersed with gleaming Buddhist temples and bustling markets. Join a hands-on cooking class to gain an insight into Laos' traditional ingredients and recipes. Explore Vangthong night food market for the authentic Laotian food such as bla kan sung (grilled fish), sai oua (Laotian sausage), bet yang (roasted duck) as well as immerse yourself in the bustling and vibrant atmosphere of the market with colorful stalls and friendly vendors.

Halfway between Vientiane and Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng is an adventure hub for families with kids of all ages. Experience a hot air balloon flight over the cultivated rice paddies during the sunrise or sunset is very memorable for the stunning view of the beautiful Lao countryside. For families with older kids, rock climbing or hiking is a good option catering to everyone from beginners on up. Kids aged from 06 years old upward can take part in a kayaking adventure along the Nam Song River in Vang Vieng quite safe with experienced guides, kid-sized paddles and life jackets.

Home to more than 20 national parks scattered across the country, the wildlife in Laos is a particular highlight as well as a fantastic family fun. A night safari in Nam Et-Phou Louey National Park offers a thrilling adventure traversing the forest trails and spotting a myriad of wildlife species. From elusive big cats to vibrant birdlife, the park is a haven for nature enthusiasts. The safari also emphasizes the importance of conservation, highlighting the efforts to protect the region’s endangered species and their habitats.
