The Experience

Before You Go

Control Your Speed on the Luge

You control the luge brakes—start conservatively on your first run to learn the handling of the cart.

Secure Loose Items

Use provided storage or a tether—phones and hats can easily be lost on the zipline.

Wear Closed-Toe Shoes

Sturdy trainers protect feet during launches, landings, and short walks between platforms.

Hydrate and Time It Right

Arrive early or late afternoon to avoid mid-day heat; bring water between runs.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Photo-friendly net-bridge at the water park—great for group shots after rides
  • Short sunset viewpoint near the upper platform with wide Mekong floodplain views

Wildlife

  • kingfishers
  • small monitor lizards

Conservation Note

Stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and use on-site waste bins—operators encourage low-impact visitation to protect vegetation and nearby waterways.

Vientiane developed as a Mekong river trading post and later absorbed French-colonial urban patterns; modern leisure sites now sit alongside traditional markets and temples.

Are there age or height restrictions?

Children must be accompanied by an adult; staff set specific age and height minimums at check-in—confirm on arrival or with your booking agent.

Is this suitable for people with limited mobility?

The site has paved access but involves stairs to platforms and standing for briefings; contact the operator ahead of time to discuss accessibility options.

What safety measures are in place for the zipline and luge?

Rides use helmets, harnesses where required, and on-site staff perform safety briefings and inspections before each run.

Can I bring my own camera on the zipline?

Handheld cameras are discouraged unless secured with a tether; designated photo zones exist at the water-park net bridge for safer photos.
