An early start takes you down the Piphot river and up the Stung Prat tributary in a motorized sampan. Enjoy a packed breakfast as the sun rises over the forested hills. The river is often misty in the cool morning.

After two hours, transfer to a traditional rowing boat for silent bird watching.

Take a break at Island Lodge forest shelter, with river swimming, then return by the same route, with packed lunch on the boat.
