Yes. Bolaven Tours offers private tuk tuk and minivan hire from Pakse to the Bolaven Plateau, Champasak, Wat Phou, and the 4,000 Islands. The driver and vehicle are entirely yours. You are never in a shared minibus. Book directly on WhatsApp.
The 1-day tour covers the main highlights, Tad Fane, Tad Yuang, a coffee farm and Tad Champee, in a single day from Pakse. The 2-day tour adds Katu ethnic minority villages (by local tractor), an overnight in Tad Lo village, Vat Paa jungle monastery and Mr. Vieng's highland coffee farm.

No, the private driver price covers transport only: vehicle, driver, fuel, tolls and parking. You choose where to eat and sleep at your own budget. If you want everything included (meals, accommodation, guide), take a look at our all-inclusive Bolaven tour.
Contact us on WhatsApp or fill in our form below. Tell us your date, number of passengers, and your preferred destination, Bolaven Plateau, Wat Phou, or Don Det. We confirm within the hour and pick you up at your hotel at the time you choose.
A one-way minivan transfer from Pakse to Don Det (4,000 Islands) costs $125 per vehicle. A full-day return trip, drive down, explore the islands, return the same evening, costs $145 per vehicle.
A tuk tuk is open-sided, slower, and gives an authentic local feel, ideal for 1–3 passengers on a single day. A minivan is air-conditioned, faster, and better for families, groups, or multi-day trips. Both are completely private, driver and vehicle are yours alone for the duration.
Yes. Tell us your dates, group size, and the places you want to see. We'll design a custom itinerary and quote you within the hour. If your route involves very remote tracks or roads in poor condition, the price may be slightly adjusted to cover extra fuel and vehicle use.
