Exploring Vang Vieng Blue Lagoons involves 6 major divisions, each one has different features and offers unique experiences to us. Make sure that each is known for their clear blue waters and beautiful surroundings with the entrance fee between 10,000 to 30,000 kip

 

1. Blue Lagoon 1

 

Located just eight km from the centre of Vang Vieng city, one of the most visited Blue Lagoons in this region. Often known as a popular and accessible lagoon which is available close to the Tham Phu Kham Cave where visitors expect swings, platforms, tubes and life jackets (if you’re not a professional swimmer). However, the lagoon is home to large swimming areas, bamboo swings and scenic picnic spots. Here visitors could expect more relaxing ambiances and scenic views along with light adventure activities.

 

2. Blue Lagoon 2

 

Situated just 10 km away from city areas, Blue Lagoon 2 is recognised as quieter as and less crowded than the rest of the lagoons. The lagoon is larger and has several pools where visitors can choose multiple swimming pools which they find more attractive to swim. Not just that each pool contains platforms and slides, help to choose which one fits us. Besides that, the lagoon is known for more serene experiences with its beautiful surroundings, small wooden bridges and vast areas for swimming. 

 

3. Blue Lagoon 3

 

Located a bit further from the city centre, located within the radiation of 17 km from town. Blue Lagoon 3 has most underrated one and not as frequently visited lagoons like 1 and 2. But its tranquil beauty and quiet atmosphere grab the attention of backpackers. This Lagoon requires a little bit of hiking to reach but it is worth one, while we can enjoy rich lush vegetation.

The lagoon has close access to Patong cave and some secluded spots. Since its location is far from the city, the lagoon does not receive as many visitors, but we insist you visit to get a unique experience. Since roads to this lagoon are bumpy, it is good idea to take any tuk tuk or rent a motorbike.

 

4. Blue Lagoon 4



Lagoon 4 is similar to Lagoon 3, available 15 km away from Vang Vieng Town. Blue Lagoon 4 is often recognised as the most rustic lagoon, not a mainstream tourist spot. Offers the most picturesque setting with clear waters and stunning views, making it heaven for those who wish seek to connect with nature and away despite just swimming activity. Remember if you like hiking this lagoon has some trekking journey to reach. Do not expect any restaurants and stalls for drinks, this lagoon doesn’t have any such services, but it is close to Tham Nam cave and Elephant cave. 

 

5. Blue Lagoon 5


 One of the less developed and least known lagoons in Vang Vieng. Home to an authentic and untouched environment, where visitors could appreciate natural beauty especially its surrounding scenic views. 

 

6. Blue Lagoon 6 

 

Located Long Kuang village, 15 km from Vang Vieng centre, witnessing a more isolated and serene spot to swim, dive and zip line. If you’re going with your family, then you can expect a family run restaurant which serves both local and international dishes. Make sure that, whether lagoon 6 opens or not, because sometimes the lagoon may close for different reasons.
