Daily departure programme across the Mekong
Delta
They are our most classic trips,
and they sail across the Mekong delta rather than
upstream or downstream, so they keep you on smaller
river ways, in touch with a constantly evolving
scenery. If you are unsure about which itinerary to
take, believe us and pick one of these two. |

Weekly Longer Trip between Cai Be and Can Tho
Make the best of the smaller waterways and take a
return trip across the delta,
Cai Be - Can Tho - Cai Be (3 days and 2 nights),
departing every day. The itinerary is retracing its
steps, but at different times in the day, and as
part of the trip is run at night, there is always
something on the way back that you did not see on
the way to. A loop also makes the road transfers
shorter.
We also offer regular extensions to our classic
overnight trip across the Mekong, exploring Thốt Nốt,
North of Cần Thơ and providing you with a glimpse of
yet another ambiance: larger rivers and more
floating fish farms. Join in on
Cai Be - Can Tho - Can Tho (3 days and 2
nights), departing on Wednesdays and
Thursdays, or

Franciscan monastery. A unique insight into the
variety of the sceneries in the delta.

the Mekong delta from the wider to the more
intimate, or are coming from Cambodia, join in
