Meeting the Irrawaddy Dolphins

The rare Irrawaddy dolphins are the crown jewels of the Mekong, and Kratie is one of the absolute best places in the world to see them. Just a short trip upriver to Kampi brings you to the protected deep pools where these gentle, playful creatures surface. Spotting their distinct rounded fins emerging from the water at sunset is an unforgettable magic moment that tops every traveler’s Kratie itinerary.
