Why Travel with Us?

Support youth, empower women

At Wander Laos, we aim to support youth and empower women; some of our Day tours are run by university students during the weekend and / or after school hours. We believe this is a good opportunity for students to practice their English speaking skills and build confidence as they share their culture and life-style. Additionally, they will be able to make a little income for their education expenses. Students receive proper training by our very experienced guide team who is happy to share their knowledge about guiding skills which will support the youths’ futures of becoming professional guides, entrepreneurs, and will help them develop career initiative!

Commitment & Safety

Wander Laos understands the benefit of a good working relationship with all our clients and partners; we share our commitment to quality and deliver authentic travel experiences. The company is also committed to our traveller’s safety, security, and worry-free experience throughout their travels. We work and maintain relationship with our preferred suppliers who are licensed, professional, and reliable.

Comfort & Personal Service

We consider our clients’ comfort and we select accommodation carefully by designing personable, individualized services. Our tours consist of private Day trips and Multi-day tours but we also provide Tailor-made itineraries for special groups that have specific needs and interests.

Responsible Travel

We believe in travelling responsibly and sustainably. While we take care of travellers and share our home with them, we also strive to make sure our home is taken care of as well! We believe into the protection and preservation of our natural environment to value a destination. Landscapes, waterscapes but also wildlife is part of our natural legacy. We commit to reduce our impact on wildlife to avoid places which are trading illicit natural ingredients, but we will bring you to places and encounter where wildlife remains untamed. Our focus will be to encourage proper manner for communities but targeting also our guests to raise concerns on environment. We also commit to reduce our negative impact on climate change by reinforcing the use of slow travel modes, eco-friendly means of transportation. Our passion for local culture-preservation comes from our deep care for local community and the country. We connect travellers with local people who will share their daily activities to understand their way of life. Additionally, we will be able to give back to the community! Ultimately, responsible travel is about respect, sustainability, and fulfillment with a positive impact on the local custom, environment, wildlife, and its people.

Meeting local people and experiencing their centuries-old culture is the best way to discover the real Laos. We work closely with Bamboo Experience, a local family-run bamboo activity and cooking class, a local farm in Ban Pak Si, a village guide for Jungle trek, Pottery house at Pottery village, Lunch and Petanque at Ban Na Kham, Home stay in Ban Lae Sivilay, Mekong Fishermen and more…

We’re excited to share our home with you and show to the beauty of Laos!
