Join us as we take a ride in an early morning hot air balloon over Vang Vieng in stunning Laos. The wonderful guys at Above Laos Ballooning made this such a very memorable day, one we will never forget and one we are sure to repeat in the future.

For many, including us, this is a bucket list item that needs to be ticked off and knowing that you’re in safe hands is all-important when selecting who to fly with. The Above Laos Ballooning team go through a thorough safety briefing before take-off, helping you realise you are safe and experienced hands. This, of course, allows you to be relaxed and to enjoy every moment of it rather than feel any of the stress that might occur while being hundreds of feet in the air in what is predominantly a woven basket. €105 (£93) per person for an hours flight – which may vary if adverse wind conditions cut it short – safety first of course!! Cost includes a charming champagne breakfast following the flight along with a chit-chat with the staff and crew and fellow passengers. All in all a lovely morning.
