Mekong river cruises, Laos

We are a local Laos operator, and 99% of the staff we employ are Laos nationals. By booking through our company you can be rest assured that the profits are going directly to the country you are visiting and helping the people in that country.

We are committed to ecotourism and responsible tourism in Laos and actively seek to research and promote projects that will benefit the local community and environment, as well as being a thoroughly enjoyable experience for the client.

We also aim to encourage tourism throughout Laos, particularly in poor rural areas, and ensure that it is the local villagers that benefit every time. We have a strong desire to protect the local environment and therefore encourage tours around respected eco lodges with strong environmental policies as much as possible, and also educate our guides and staff on the importance of being environmentally friendly, both in the office and for the guides, on the ground. Within our offices in Laos we work to a ‘paperless desk’ policy where possible and only use recycled paper if required.

This tour includes two boat cruises, both of which have strong environmental practices. Examples of this includes recycling of all bottles and cans used on the cruises, and also donations of waste foods to local villages to help feed livestock. Donations are also made to villages that we pass through. The cruise company has helped to set up a school in a very poor village, as well as providing local employment for villagers in the area.
