Peaceful, relaxing and packed with nature, Laos is the hidden gem of Southeast Asia

Kuang_Si_Waterfall__Laos_Free_Stock_Images_Unsplash_2020_CCSimone_Fischer-Q6W9PV17ZLg_ijqlm5 Laos has many epic landscapes, such as the Kuang Si Falls

Lying quietly under the tourist radar, Laos is a country of jungle adventures, riverside relaxation and rich cultural traditions - perfect for those who like to take the road less travelled.

The Peaceful Charm of Luang Prabang

A trip to UNESCO World Heritage City Luang Prabang is an escape into another world. At dawn, watch apricot-robed monks complete the alms-giving ceremony, then take a tuk-tuk to the fairytale pools of Kuang Si Falls. Stay in boutique hotels and dine in intimate restaurants, set in colonial Indochinese villas.

Vientiane’s Mix of Modernity & Tradition

Southeast Asia’s most unlikely capital is packed with temples, museums and monuments, which give context to Laos’ fascinating history.

Indulge in French-inspired pastries at sophisticated Gallic cafés, step barefoot into the capital’s impressive collection of Buddhist temples, and then climb the stairs of the iconic Patuxai Monument for stunning views of the city.

Be sure to visit the COPE Centre to learn how UXO (unexploded ordinance) from the Vietnam War has impacted the lives of the Lao people.

Your Laos Holiday

Laos offers a humbling backdrop of epic landscapes and a myriad of authentic cultural experiences.

Take a slow boat along the Mekong to Pakbeng, where tribal visitors sell textiles and handicrafts, or participate in a homestay at a remote Hmong village. Admire the Buddha statues in the Pak Ou Caves and explore the mysterious Plain of Jars or trek the Bolaven Plateau and splash in the waterfalls of the Four Thousands Islands.

For even more Southeast Asia adventure, combine Laos with neighbours Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand for a tour of history, culture and diverse cuisines. 

Unspoiled by tourism and with so much to offer, now is the time to visit Laos.

When to go to Laos

Laos has three seasons; cool, hot and rainy season. The best time to visit Laos is between November and April, with blue skies and temperatures ranging from 15-30°c. April and May are the hottest months, with the yearly monsoon rains falling from May until late September. Travel during the monsoons is more difficult, but the country blooms a bright green thanks to the rain. Lao New Year (Boun Pimai) is an enjoyable festival in April with parades, dancing and small-scale water throwing, as well as water pouring over Buddhist images.

Read what our customers say about their trip with Wayfairer

“This is the second time Wayfairer has planned a trip, the first being a Safari and we will definitely have them plan another trip. Our journey to Antarctica exceeded our expectations".
"This was a dream trip I had thought about for years and somehow they managed to exceed what I had hoped for. Could not have asked for more."
"An outstanding experience with Wayfairer, Cat and Juan helped to organise, and manage, an amazing safari for a group of six. Their meticulous planning, endless enthusiasm and huge knowledge of the area meant that we had a truly unforgettable experience, we even had a fabulous birthday party in the middle of the Mara. The highest recommendation is that we plan to use Wayfairer again and again!"
"This was my second trip with Wayfairer - my first (to Africa) was so amazing, I was worried that I would be disappointed.....not a chance. Once again, the itinerary, the guides, the little touches, were superb. I am already thinking about what trip I will have Wayfairer plan next! For anyone trying to decide where to go - Peru was absolutely amazing! It may be one of the most under-rated countries. Machu Pichu was breathtaking, but there was also so much more to see and do....let Wayfairer take you on amazing journey!"
"Our trip was a dream come true. The arrangements made by Wayfairer exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were as good or better than the descriptions in our trip documents. The staff at each camp were wonderful and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We will highly recommend Wayfairer to any of our friends who are considering an adventure vacation."
"Wayfairer are absolutely superb - from our initial consultation, the advice on destination, the booking process, the concierge service, the recommendation of hotels, organisation of transport, advice on activities to the friendliness of stay it could not have been better. We will look to book all big holidays with Wayfairer from now on and will recommend them to everyone."
"Incredibly helpful service and access to the best facilities and great rates. Don't book anywhere else."
"Recently returned from an amazing safari trip inc Vic falls, Chobe, Okavango Delta and the Kalahari desert. Right from the first engagement with Wafairer and all the way through the trip has been so smooth. The recommendations and attention to detail on the itinerary were incredible. Thankyou on this once in a lifetime trip."
"Wayfairer and Juan assisted planning our trip to South Africa. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Juan was very responsive with answers when I had any questions at all. It was very nice working with Juan and will definetly use this company again. I have recommended them to friends and family. The vacation was perfect thanks to Juan and Wayfairer."
"Excellent service throughout. A wonderful trip and truly a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you."
"We just returned from a fabulous Kenya vacation for our family..ages 3 thru 70. Jess gave us great advice, offered wonderful accommodations, was really flexible, was willing to work with our budget. June helped us implement the trip. Thanks to both of them."
"Wayfairer organised our trip to Tanzania & Zanzibar. From initial contact Leonie and the team were very professional & informative. They listened to our requirements and put together an amazing itinerary within our budget. We were kept informed every step of the way. The holiday was amazing and all went smoothly. We felt confident that Wayfairer were only a call away should an issue arise. We wouldn't hesitate to use Wayfairer for our next holiday!"
We booked our honeymoon to Tanzania with Wayfairer. Tom gave us excellent suggestions for accommodation and itinerary and organised it all, including transfers. It all went very smoothly and the trip was fabulous. We stayed at Lake Manze in the Selous game reserve, an open safari camp with very knowledgeable and helpful guides and managers, followed by all-inclusive at the Sea Cliff Resort in Zanzibar. The Sea Cliff was wonderfully relaxing and welcoming. Thanks to Tom for an incredible honeymoon experience. We would definitely use Wayfairer again and have already recommended to friends.
I wanted to take my aging father on a safari in Kenya, but the task of organizing the trip seemed daunting. I wanted to make sure he was comfortable and that we chose the right tour to go on. Wayfairer stuck with me every step of the way, patiently asked all my questions and worked with me through several last minute changes. I recommend them highly.
