Itineraries

Day 1: Panorama Cruise - only start on odd dates

In the morning we pick you up at your hotel (district 1 and parts of district 3) in Saigon and take you to Cai Be (approx. two hours drive). You board the wooden cruise boat around noon. After a refreshing welcome drink we show you our on-board facilities and your cosy cabin. As lunch is served, the boat starts cruising. Sit back and watch the fantastic scenery and the daily life of the Mekong people.
In the afternoon you can disembark for a guided tour to Xeo Qyut. In the province of Dong Thap lays the forest of Xeo Quit. Here, in the middle of the dense forest area was a former headquarters of the Provincial Party Committee during the Vietnam war. The South Vietnamese troops as well as the American knew about the existence of this camp and attacked it on a regular basis from the air or with ground forces. Through ingenious hiding strategies in the jungle-like forest and with the help of the local population, the Communist leaders succeeded in escaping the attacks, and from here on participate in the assault on Saigon.
Nowadays the area is an open-air museum and park. You can explore the area with small sampans, gliding through the tiny channels, or by foot, exploring the command center, caves and hiding places surrounded by nature. The entire attraction is a much calmer and more relaxed alternative to a trip to the famous Cu Chi tunnels, which are now completely overrun.
After Xeo Qyut you will explore Sa Dec, a small, sleepy town in the Dong Thap province and it was the original setting of the autobiographical novel “The Lover” by Marguerite Duras. This romantic and charming little town still isn’t very touristy and a true hidden gem in the Mekong delta.
There is a very busy, authentic market near the river and a lot of architecture from the colonial period, such as the old market, as well as numerous old mansions and merchant homes. One of these houses belonged to the protagonist in Marguerite Duras’ novel and has been lovingly and traditionally restored. The riverside road Nguyen Hue invites for a stroll with its cafés, market stalls and the old French church in the background.

Meals: L, D

Accommodation: Dragon Eyes Cruise

Day 2: Life on the water and floating markets

Wake up well rested to the sound of the River and get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing. At 6.30h the boat sets off for a sunrise cruise. Watch the locals go about their daily work drying exotic fruits and building ships on the wooden yards while enjoying an early breakfast.
After breakfast visit the market in Sa Dec. If you like you can go shopping with the chef and take part in a cooking lesson on board. Once the boat resumes its journey, you travel through small channels towards Can Tho (or Cai Be). In the afternoon there is the option of a land excursion either by bicycle or on foot and visit of a small village, a stroll through orchards, or a cooking class.

Meals: B, L, D

Accommodation: Dragon Eyes Cruise

Day 3: Cai Rang Floating Market and Transfer to Phu Quoc

After morning tea and an early start through the glorious morning atmosphere on the river we will visit the famos floating market of Cai Rang. Marvel at the sheer abundance of exotic fruits and vegetables. We will pull up to the boats for talking and bargaining with the merchants.
Directly after visiting the floating market our shuttle takes you to the waterfront town of Rach Gia and to the pier for the ferry to the holiday paradise of Phu Quoc (lunch box on the way).
The tour ends here.
We will be happy to help you book a resort on the island and organize your trip back to Saigon.

Meals: B, L

Accommodation: N/A

Anyone interested in seeing the Mekong delta should consider this option. From the inquiry phase to arrival at our hotel in Phu Quoc, this company did a great job. Their communications were quite efficient. Both pick-up & end point transfers were quite prompt. The crew on board were great. Lee had a lovely sense of humor, making us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped onboard. The cabins were very comfortable. Local cuisine was enjoyable. Dave, who was the other guide, did a phenomenal job explaining numerous details of local life. The only critique I would offer would be to have a driver who could have shared information about the region we journeyed through en route to the boat to a better understanding of the local areas. Overall, this is a wonderful experience as well as a fantastic value!

Bus picked us up at our accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City and drove us to the delta. We were well taken care of from the pick up, to the drop off when a driver met us at Phu Quoc and drove us to our resort. The Mekong delta was beautiful, the boat and the cabins really clean and cozy, and the staff friendly and service minded. We had relaxing two days and enjoyed it very much. The only thing I could wish more for was to spend a little more time at the floating market and buy things there. But everything was well planned and well executed. Strongly recommended!

We (two couples, no children) opted for the 3d/2n cruise. Although the route itself could be covered faster, there was no wish to do that. We have just arrived to Vietnam and a relaxed cruise was a perfect start of the holidays. The cabins are nice, clean, comfortable, and spacious. The air conditioning worked perfectly, including during the night (they keep the generator on, creating some noise, but more importantly enable a good sleep). All the side tours (villages, biking, floating and regular markets) were easy, interesting, and informative. The food was good, but don’t expect the cruise to be a culinary experience. The best part: we learned how to make a very good ban xeo. The best part of all: sitting in the front of the boat at sunrise and watch the peaceful yet busy life on and along the river.

This has to be a must do if you are in Vietnam for a week or more. Our boat was well equiped, the food was lovely and the crew wonderful. We had three days, two nights on board our boat and the whole experience was a real memory. The shore excursions were not too long and well organised.

We stayed two nights on the Dragon Eye, it was a great experience! Very nice staff the one wishes from the eyes. The Mekong Delta is very worth seeing and since one is on a ship one always sees something else !!! The cabins are big and very clean. The food was sensational, it could not be better ... We were lucky that we had the ship for ourselves on the second day !! The excursions were worth ..... Conclusion: it could not be better, thanks for the great experience
