There is a bridge connecting Don Det with Don Khon, another island on the south. These islands are perfect to be explored by bicycle. You'll meet plenty of friendly locals, waving kids, and water buffalos along the way. Pick one of the bars at the East side of the island to catch an awesome sunset.

The Mekong Irrawaddy dolphin is an endangered species, with less than 100 individuals remaining. From those, only 3 can be found in the southern Laos. When I learned this, I decided to do the full-day waterfall tour. It consisted of kayaking in the Mekong river, going to two massive waterfall, and the highlight of the tour, seeing the dolphins. Quite an intense but awesome day.

Traveling in low season has its pros and cons. Obviously the pros are that places aren't flooded with tourists and prices are usually cheaper. However that comes with a price: most boats, buses, tours, etc. require a minimum of people to be profitable. So in low season they just aren't available, or you have to pay full price. That's what happened today: the ferry from Don Khong to Don Det wasn't available, so I had to pay an "expensive" motorcycle ride instead.
