On the river in Laos
Kayaking can be arranged in a wide number of locations. The ambitious traveler could kayak the Mekong between Luang Prabang and Vientiane.
Tubing (floating down the river on a large inflatable tube) is one of the attractions of the Southeast Asia backpacker circuit. The hugely popular stretch of the Nam Song at Vang Vieng is lined with bars that lure you and your tube in with ziplines, water slides, loud music, buckets of terrible local whiskey, and unlimited Beerlao. If you're more interested in enjoying the scenery, more serene tubing locations include Si Phan Don, Nong Khiaw and Mung Ngoi.
River cruises are a popular way to take in Laotian scenery, and options include working your way up or down the Mekong.
