Had a romantic cruise as there aren't many customers at this time so great for couples dinner. The BBQ was amazing! Grilled chicken and kebabs with green pepper and pineapple. Our guide, Samet, was awesome and so friendly. Great to learn about Phnom Penh from his perspective. Thank you so much Samet 😁

Nice cruise but hazardous

Clare_W, Apr 2022
To get onto the boat we had to walk across the mud and a narrow wobbly plank- not sure why they say this is ok for small kids! The first part of the cruise was ok, the staff were nice and there was music. The bbq was terrible though, just some fried chicken that’s it and they also ran out of beer halfway through (they’d only brought enough for one beer per person). Then there was a lightning storm and though that’s not the tour operators fault, it wasn’t safe to be on the water and I was actually scared for my life. We had to change docks to get off and went to a better dock with concrete after the wobbly plank (not sure why we didn’t go from that dock in the first place!). The boat itself also seemed pretty hazardous with steep metal stairs that were slippery when wet. We weren’t offered life jackets at any point either. Would say don’t bring kids on this cruise and don’t expect a meal!

very sorry to hear this and will certainly pass on your concerns to the boat operator and guides after a long downtime with covid,we need to fix this up asap cheers

After getting picked up late we joined others on a basic boat. We were vegetarian and they hadn't registered that. No landmarks were identified

Excellent evening tour and food of Mekong River

Michael P, Oct 2018
I had a great time on the evening tour with food and drinks. The tour guide explained the sights we were seeing and ensured we had plenty to eat and drink as we went. He also made sure I could get back to my hotel with the same tuk tuk driver that took me to the tour.

Relax on the rivers with the hectic boat traffic and the noisy shore sounds at a distance. Enjoyable cool drink of your choice and grill food and fruit while the sun sets and all the city lights make a colourful experience.
