Explore the best of both nature and culture in southern Laos with a full-day tour of Paradise Khon Island. Whether you're drawn by the lush landscapes or the unique colonial history, this immersive experience offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventure and local charm.
Start your day with a hotel pickup in Pakse and head to the boat for a scenic ride to the idyllic Khon Island. Arrive and enjoy a delicious local lunch surrounded by island beauty.
Choose between a relaxing tuk tuk ride or a refreshing bicycle tour to visit the Som Permit Waterfall – a dramatic and unique cascade where two mighty streams converge in a spectacular basin. You may even spot local fishermen casting nets into the spray – a true slice of island life.
Next, step back in time as you visit the historic French colonial railway, a remnant from 1893 when the French colonial government constructed this railway to bypass the island’s waterfalls. These fascinating ruins still weave through the landscape and remain a part of daily life for locals.
After relaxing by the waterfall, head back to Khon Island and return to Pakse by boat and vehicle. On the way, explore Pakse’s local market, full of colours, flavours, and authentic Lao culture.
Return to your hotel for a short break before heading out for a guided dinner featuring local specialities.
