Get the most of out of your visit to Vientiane, the laid-back capital of Laos, with this comprehensive sightseeing excursion. During the course of your day you’ll explore Vat Sisaket, a monastery that dates to 1818, visit a Buddhist-themed museum of art and sculpture, see the city’s famous ‘Anousavali’ (Victory Gate) and discover a Buddhist statue park. A traditional lunch is also included.

This small town was relatively remote but brought to fame by the almost extinct Mekong River dolphins. The best spot to watch the dolphins is at the Kampi village, 15 km north from town. Dolphin watching is a very popular activity. It is estimated that there are less than 80 dolphins left and the best time to see them frolicking, sometimes in large groups, is in the late afternoon.
