2-Day Stung Treng Mekong Island Camping & Kayaking Adventure

In the morning, you will depart from Stung Treng and drive about an hour north to a small riverside village. From here, a boat will take you along the Mekong River, passing nomadic communities and rocky riverbanks.

As you travel upstream, you’ll reach a secluded waterfall, where you can explore the area on foot. Along the way, you’ll learn about traditional medicinal plants used by local villagers for treating malaria, fever, and digestive issues.

Lunch will be served at Hang Khone, a historic site that was once a French colonial ferry port and railway station, used for transporting goods around the powerful Mekong Falls.

In the afternoon, the journey continues by boat downstream to Preah Rumkel, a peaceful riverside village. Depending on the water level and weather conditions, you will either camp on a remote island or stay with a local family in a traditional homestay.

As the sun sets, enjoy a delicious BBQ dinner by the river, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

After breakfast, you will begin a kayaking journey through the flooded forests of the Ramsar Wetlands. This unique ecosystem is home to a variety of bird species and aquatic wildlife, making it a paradise for nature lovers.

Along the way, you will stop at Voeun Sien, an isolated riverside community accessible only by boat. This small village provides insight into the traditional way of life along the Mekong River.

A picnic lunch will be enjoyed on a quiet sandy beach before continuing the kayaking journey towards Koh Key. The landscape here changes with the seasons—during the dry season, small islands emerge, while in the wet season, water levels rise, creating a vast flooded forest.
