“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.”

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.”
