In the morning, we pick you up from your hotel in Saigon (District 1 and parts of District 3) and transfer you to your port of embarkation in Can Tho.

Meals: L, D
Accommodation: Mekong Eyes Explorer cruise
- Day 2 (Friday): Cai Be – Sa Dec – Cao Lanh
-
Wake up feeling refreshed to the sound of the river and get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing in the Mekong Delta. At 6:30 AM, the cruise vessel sets off on a sunrise cruise. Watch the locals go about their daily activities, drying exotic fruits and building ships in traditional boatyards, while enjoying an early breakfast.
After breakfast, enjoy a sampan excursion through the hidden small canals of Tan Phong Islet. You will also visit local candy- or rice-cake-making workshops, or cruise through the lush waterside landscape to discover local villages, verdant orchards, and rice paddies.
In the afternoon, we arrive in the laid-back town of Sa Dec for a city tour. Here, you can explore the busy and colorful local market, enjoy a coffee along the pleasant riverside promenade, or visit a nearby flower village with orchards. The charming town retains much of its colonial architecture, particularly around the old market and church, as well as in its many old villas and traders’ houses. We visit one of these houses, a beautifully renovated traditional home belonging to a Chinese trader’s family. This sumptuous building was associated with the main character of the novel The Lover and, indeed, with the lover of Marguerite Duras.
In the late afternoon, we return to the Mekong Explorer vessel and enjoy a sunset cruise, with more fantastic photo opportunities from on board.

We booked an overnight with Mekong Eyes and loved every minute. We expected the cabins would be small but were pleasantly surprised to be given one of the two stern cabins with a small balcony (none of the other cabins have balconies on the "junk style" boats. Although there is a large top balcony we enjoyed our private balcony (and a glass of wine) in the evening when the river traffic was less + just relaxed. We again watched the sunrise from this balcony. The staff were very friendly and speak several languages so no issues there. The meals were very good and cater to individual needs. Just before disembarking we were taken through the floating markets on a smaller boat and then a bit of souvenir shopping. Although there are day tours --well worth doing an overnight as the cruise covers about 150 kilometers of the river

Very friendly and helpful staff throughout the cruise made for an unforgettable experience. On board accommodation was very good considering and the meals were excellent, with more than enough to eat. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and provided excellent support throughout. The cruise provided some extra land based activities as well as the opportunity to navigate a small back channel in a sampan which just added to the experience. I'd certainly recommend to anyone visiting Saigon to visit the Mekong.

We took a 4 day/3 night tour. We were picked up at our hotel in Saigon and delivered to our hotel in Phnom Penh after our trip. I enjoyed every minute of it. A nice break while touring the busy cities of Vietnam and Cambodia. Comfortable, great food, nice people.
