Around 12.00, your journey will take you on a speed boat across the border of Vietnam. Around 17.00 clock the speed boat arrives in Chau Doc and you will be transferred to your cosy hotel with fantastic vistas  (Victoria Chau Doc Hotel – Superior room)

In the morning you travel by car or bus to Cai Be or Can Tho. In the afternoon you board one of our ships and get familiar with your cabin. Enjoy your lunch while the boat starts cruising through the branches and canals of the Mekong. Sit back on the sundeck or in our lounge and enjoy the amazing sights — the lush vegetation and the diverse daily life of the people in the Mekong Delta. During your land excursion you stroll through lush orchards or rice fields. Look at how food is processed or watch how locals build their boats. Round the day off with a drink at the bar while the sun sets over the magnificent water landscape.

After breakfast and an early start through the glorious morning atmosphere on the Mekong river. In Cai Be will will explore the delta by foot or with a small sampan. Be sure not to miss the great photo opportunities for authentic snapshots of the Mekong people and their life. In the afternoon explore by bike or foot other parts of the Mekong-Delta. 

Wake up well rested to the sound of the river and get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing in the Mekong Delta. At 6.30h the cruise vessel 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, we will board a sampan boat to Cai Rang floating market, the region’s busiest and most lively markets. Marvel at the sheer abundance of exotic fruits and vegetables. We will pull up to the boats for talking and bargaining with the merchants. You will also visit some of the local candy and cake making factories or boat through the green water landscape to see local houses, verdant orchards and ship-building yards. The visit of the floating markets depends on the tour date, alternatively we explore the small canals around Cai Be small by rowing sampan or explore the surrounding area by foot. 

N. B.: The floating markets in the Mekong Delta are no tourist markets but wholesale markets where produce of the Mekong Delta like fruits and vegetables are traded. For this reason the number of boats on the market fluctuates depending on harvesting seasons and market demand.

The Mekong Delta cruise boat tour ends at around 11.00 — 11.30h on the pier. Your lunch is served in Vinh Long City.
