Itineraries

Day 1 (Sunday): Phnom Penh – Tan Chau – Cao Lanh

In the morning, we pick you up at your hotel in Phnom Penh and take you to the jetty, where our boat departs. An English-speaking guide accompanies all our speedboat journeys to ensure your comfort and well-being on board and assist you with immigration procedures when entering Vietnam. Drinks and snacks are available on our comfortable speedboats.

Around 13:00, the speedboat arrives in Tan Chau, where you board your river cruiser. After a refreshing welcome drink, we introduce you to the onboard facilities and your cozy cabin. Enjoy lunch as the boat begins cruising through the branches and canals of the Mekong. Sit back on the sundeck or relax in our lounge and marvel at the amazing sights, from lush vegetation to the diverse daily lives of people in the Mekong Delta. Round off the day with a Sunset Cocktail Party at the bar while the sun sets over the magnificent waterscape.

Meals: L, D

Accommodation: Mekong Eyes Explorer cruise

Day 2 (Monday): Cao Lanh – Cu Lao Gieng – Sa Dec

Wake up refreshed to the sound of the river and get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing in the Mekong Delta. At 6:30, the cruise vessel sets off on a sunrise cruise. Watch the locals go about their daily work, drying exotic fruits and building ships in wooden shipyards, while enjoying an early breakfast.

We cruise towards Cu Lao Gieng Island. Located between Chau Doc and Sa Dec, this small island is home to a monastery that was once an important convent. It could accommodate more than 1,000 people and included an orphanage, a school, a hospice, and a leprosy centre.

In the afternoon, we cruise towards the charming city of Sa Dec. There, you can explore the busy and colorful local market, enjoy a coffee along the pleasant riverside promenade, and visit a nearby flower village with orchards. The charming town still boasts many examples of colonial architecture, particularly the old market, the church, and numerous old villas and traders’ houses. We visit one of these houses, a beautifully renovated traditional residence that belonged to a Chinese trader’s family. This sumptuous building was the home of the main character in the novel The Lover and, indeed, of Marguerite Duras’s lover.

Return on board and enjoy a drink at the bar or relax on deck as the sun sets over the magnificent waterscape of the Mekong River. The cruise boat anchors for the night, and the day ends with a delicious onboard dinner.

Meals: B, L, D

Accommodation: MeKong Eyes Explorer cruise

Day 3 (Tuesday): Cai Be – Mang Thit / Tra On

After breakfast, we enjoy a sampan excursion through the hidden small canals of Tan Phong Islet. We also visit local candy- or rice-cake-making workshops, or travel by boat through the lush green waterways to see local villages, verdant orchards, and rice paddies.

Later in the morning, you can explore the nearby town on foot or discover the small side canals of the Mekong by bicycle. We disembark in Cai Be, from where we provide a transfer to your hotel in Saigon, with lunch along the way.

My mom and I were traveling around Vietnam for three weeks and to highlight our trip we went to the Mekong Delta with “Mekong Eyes Cruise”. That was such a great decision. We were a group of 18 people, mostly from Australia, really friendly and the tour guides were so cute to us. We did a lot of things but we weren’t tired, it was so comfortable. The rooms and the whole boot seemed to be new. And the food was the best of it all! We made some spring rolls by our own, so delicious.

We spent 2 days and 2 nights on the "Explorer" - a very nice boat with 16 cabins. Not too tidy, but still okay. Nice crew and excellent guides. In our opinion, the Explorer was in a better shape than the "Classic", also a bit more modern. Small excursions in the Delta were interesting and brought us close to local people, very fascinating. Food on board was average and too much (in my opinion, they should offer it as a buffet, not as a menu, then everybody could chose). All in all, a relaxing and very interesting trip, expensive yes, but worth the money.

We originally booked 3D/2N on the old timber boat Mekong Eyes Classic. The company changed our booking to the Mekong Eyes Explorer for operational reasons. As it turned out we were upgraded to a suite and the 16 cabin boat had only 3 cabins occupied for the whole trip. Bonus for us. Food, service and facilities were excellent.

We were picked up from our hotel on time. Journey was ok, minibus had a/c and the rest stop was at a fairly up market place, far better than that used by tourist buses As we got to the landing and saw the boat all our expectations were fulfilled. The Mekong Eyes is a lovely looking craft, all wooden superstructure. We were booked for 3 days/2 nights. As we found out, as the tour progressed, they mix 1 and 2 night stayers. At our furthest point 10 of the 14 we started with departed, to be replaced later with 20 newcomers. The food was excellent - 4 courses at lunch and dinner. And they check carefully for specific requirements. In our first group in addition to my wife's shellfish allergy they also accommodated a vegetarian and a coeliac. The room was beautifully clean and although tight was adequate. Bed was comfy, and they moor up at night so no engine noise to disturb sleep. Staff were delightful - Sunny is a right laugh a minute - and the visits to villages, floating markets, cottage industries - rice noodles, coconut sweets - were great fun.

Booked a three day cruise from Phnom Pen and it was a wonderful trip. Lovely food, a great boat, knowledgeable guide and incredibly good service. They originally wondered if we could switch to a smaller private boat, but when they heard we had small children we were so fortunate that we got the big boat and two suites all to ourselves! Incredible! Thanks for a fantastic journey!
