Mekong Zipline is the capital’s first-of-its-kind urban zipline, sending riders flying across a breathtakingly long cable span high above the legendary water (ok, technically this stretch is the Bassac River).

Adrenalin-junkies young and old can opt for a classic round-trip seated flight or the face-forward "Superman" ride - the ultimate hook for the TikTok generation, especially if you rent one of their 360-degree helmet cameras to capture the action against the shiny city backdrop.

However, parents of younger kids need to check the height chart before promising an aerial adventure. While it has a family-friendly vibe, safety is strictly engineered for older youth: it’s recommended for kids aged 12 and up, and the safety harnesses are specifically designed for thrill-seekers at least 120cm tall.

The logistics are half the adventure. To start your flight, head over to Koh Pich (Diamond Island) and find the main ticket booth tucked inside Coconut Park to sign waivers, get weighed, and let the certified Safety Rangers suit you up. From there, you'll climb the 38-meter launch tower. Step off the ledge for a heart-pounding flight that shoots you out across the river and then zips you right back to your starting point.
