Take a Boat Trip Down the Mekong River

Tour Details

Activities outside of town are worth a look, including visiting the two main waterfalls surrounding the town.

A two-day voyage from Huay Xai, Laos to the more popular destination of Luang Prabang takes about seven hours each day and affords stunning views of one of the least traveled areas of the world. Along the way, you’ll experience majestic granite slabs protruding from the Mekong, water buffalo sunbathing on sand banks, kids running up and down the shore, and stretches of time when only one or two people can be spotted in the dense vegetation.
