Overview

Mekong Eyes Explorer – one of the most beautiful boutique cruises connecting Cambodia with Southern Vietnam. This elegant vessel offers short yet memorable journeys along the most vibrant stretch of the Mekong River, where travelers can witness the fascinating rhythm of daily life.

Designed in colonial style with local materials and handcrafted vintage décor, the boat creates a warm and authentic atmosphere. Built with a slimmer design, Mekong Eyes Explorer can easily navigate the narrow, winding canals and rivers that larger ships cannot access. This allows guests to discover the hidden gems of the northern Mekong Delta, experiencing the region’s culture and landscapes in a truly unique way.

Cruise Itinerary

In the morning we pick you up at your hotel (district 1) in Saigon and take you to Cai Be where you board the cruise boat around noon. 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 leisurely stroll through the village and the surrounding fruit orchards or rice fields. Meet the friendly locals and taste the local produce and fruits. Get back on board for fantastic photo opportunities along the river. Enjoy a drink at the bar or relax on deck as the sun sets over the magnificent water landscape. The day ends with a delicious on-board dinner.

After an early breakfast, we will board a sampan boat to Cai Rang floating market, one of the region’s busiest and most lively markets. Marvel at the sheer abundance of exotic fruits, vegetables and skilfully handcrafted regional products. 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.
