Riverside Boutique Resort will be happy to assist guests in arranging activities based on their interests, age and fitness level. Our goal is that they can all take home lasting memories and wonderful photos.
Three of the programs we offer are private excursions that we have designed exclusively for our guests. These programs can be customized but it is strongly recommended to book them in advance.
The other programs correspond to group activities. They range from a hot air balloon flight over Vang Vieng to a cooking class, and include kayaking, caving, hiking and cycling activities. For these programs also it is preferable to book in advance, especially during the high season.
