Cruise Phnom Penh’s rivers at sunset with unlimited beer, soft drinks, and BBQ for $9, plus hotel pickup by tuk-tuk.

“Lovely evening spent on the river cruise. The staff were incredibly helpful and always made sure I had a drink. I did the drink option with no BBQ, and although it smelled great I don’t think I missed out. If you book a transfer, get your tuk tuk driver to drop you at the night markets on the way home - worth a look!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 102 reviews · 1h 30m · from $7Best value

Review of Phnom Penh’s Mekong Sunset Cruise with BBQ buffet, unlimited beer, soft drinks, city views, tuk-tuk pickup, and practical tips.

“I almost missed the boat because the transportation they were providing didn't show up. So I caught a Tuk Tuk to the dock and made the cruise. I'm glad I did because it was a good time. The food was okay, the beers were cold and plentiful, and the crew was great! Terrific views of the city and sunset. I would recommend this activity and would go again the next time here. Only took away the one star because of the hiccup with the transport.”

8.Mekong Silk Island Cruise – Unlimited Beer, Soft Drinks & Fresh Fruit Platter

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 95 reviews · from $35

Review of Phnom Penh’s Silk Island cruise, with Mekong views, silk weaving, a school visit, tuk-tuk ride, fruit, beer, and practical tips.

“Excellent. River was low so we had to walk across a metal gangway with firm handrails. Probably not wheelchair friendly. Our Guide, Vuthy, was friendly, interesting, and very knowledgeable. His English was excellent. About an hour ride took us to silk Island where we had a tour of the island, learned all about silk, and had the opportunity to buy some local samples. I bought some fabric out of which I will have a shirt made. Plenty to drink with fruits on board. We bought some food on the island and ate it on the way back. Overall, just a great experience and a good value.”

10.Phnom Penh Bike & Boat Sunset Tour / E-Bike Available

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · from $55

Cycle Phnom Penh’s Mekong Island, visit silk weavers, cross by ferry, and watch sunset from a boat with drinks and snacks.

“The tour gives a very nice insight into life on the small island. The tour is completed by the ferry crossing and the return journey on a private ship. I was particularly impressed by the visit to the small silk production. However, one suspects how life will change here if the bridge is built at some point.”
