Itinerary
Stop 1
This is a COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM INITIATIVE created by our company to support local boatmen and preserve traditional river life. After taxes and operating costs, 100% OF THE REVENUE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE LOCAL BOATMAN — with no middlemen. This is not a guided sightseeing tour. There is no tour guide — just you, a local boatman, and the quiet rhythm of the Mekong River. Leave the busy city behind and glide through quieter waterways, passing stilt houses, fruit gardens, fishermen, and everyday river life. Nothing is staged; you simply observe the Mekong as locals experience it. Depending on your chosen time, enjoy either SUNRISE OR SUNSET ON THE MEKONG, away from crowded tourist attractions.
