Our Luang Say Cruise and Kamu Lodge Downstream Laos tour is specially designed to immerse you in the allure of the legendary Mekong and to show you the undiscovered side of Laos. Cruising on the elegant Luang Say boat, a 34-meter traditional-style riverboat, your 3-day Laos tour will be punctuated by excursions to hill tribe villages and unusual caves with overnights in a serene town and nature lodge.

Your river journey begins in Huay Xai, a small town tucked in the Thai-Lao border. Take in the rustic sights as you glide along the Mekong currents, first making a stop at a hill tribe village before continuing to Pakbeng, a sleepy town situated halfway between Huay Xai and Luang Prabang. Take some time to relax and enjoy a romantic sunset in this tranquil riverside town.

Traversing deeper into the pristine wilderness of northern Laos, the second leg of this Laos package tour takes you to Kamu Lodge, nestled in the heart of a lush jungle by the riverbank. An overnight stay at the lodge offers a charming interlude to river cruising. You will have time to experience the local lifestyles from the wide array of activities available, ranging from rice planting in the paddy fields to forest hiking in search of indigenous herbs.

Sailing further downstream, we will bring you to Ban Baw village to discover Lao whiskey production and to Pak Ou Caves, a popular pilgrimage site that contain thousands of gold lacquered Buddha statues of varying sizes. Two hours from Pak Ou Caves, you will finally arrive in Luang Prabang where your cruise journey ends.

Cruising the Mekong River in style, this Laos package tour is a great way to journey from Thailand into Laos as it affords the opportunity to experience the laid-back rhythms of Lao life. To further explore the country, extend with a Laos tour to other cities such as Vientiane or the beautiful southern regions.  

Arrive in Huay Xai where your guide will welcome and escort you to your private boat. Begin your Mekong cruise with a stop en-route at a hill tribe village and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch onboard. Late this afternoon, you will reach the riverside town of Pakbeng where you will disembark for your overnight stay. 

Overnight in Pakbeng.

For early risers, you have the option of visiting the morning market to observe the bustling activities. After breakfast at your hotel, resume your cruise downstream to arrive at Kamu Ecolodge in time for lunch. You are free to spend this afternoon at your leisure or choose from the wide variety of activities available to discover local lifestyles and wildlife.

Dinner and overnight at the Lodge.

Enjoy breakfast at Kamu Lodge before setting off on the last leg of your journey. Cruising toward Luang Prabang, stops will be made at Ban Baw village that specializes in traditional rice wine making and the Pak Ou Caves. Continue downstream for another two hours to Luang Prabang, the final destination in your Luang Say cruise.
