Si Phan Don, the 4000 Islands, is where the Mekong spreads up to 14 kilometres wide just before the Cambodian border, about two and a half to three hours south of Pakse.
A private 4000 Islands tour from Pakse visits Khone Phapheng, the largest waterfall by volume in Southeast Asia, the Li Phi (Somphamit) falls on Don Khone, the old French railway bridge between Don Khone and Don Det, and quiet island villages by boat or bicycle.
It works as a long day trip, but most travellers prefer two days with one night on the islands, often combined with Vat Phou and Champasak on the way.
