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
Can Tho - Can Tho - Cai Be (3 days and 2 nights),
departing on Thursdays and Fridays. |

-
Cai Be - Can Tho - Chau Doc (3 days),
departing on Fridays, is a superb two-night
journey that will take you to the heart of the
Mekong delta and to the Cambodian frontier. It
is possible to connect to Cambodia with a
speedboat. We can make the arrangements for you.
-
You may also take the long
loop from
Can Tho to Cai Be (3 days),
Can Tho - Chau Doc - Cai Be (3 days),
departing on Saturdays, with visits of the
Muslim Chàm minority and a stop at a 6th Century
Franciscan monastery. A unique insight into the
variety of the sceneries in the delta.
- Or if you prefer to plan your discovery of
the Mekong delta from the wider to the more
intimate, or are coming from Cambodia, join in
on
Chau Doc - Cai Be - Can Tho (3 days and 2
nights), departing on Sundays, which
will take you from the largest Hậu Giang river
through Sa Dec and Cai Be, then into the smaller
waterways of Vinh Long to Can Tho, ending at the
Cai Rang floating market.

Round tour of the Delta
Loop the great loop along
Cai Be - Can Tho - Chau Doc - Cai Be (4 days and 3
nights), departing on Fridays, and discover
many facets of life on the Mekong delta, from
smaller rivers across the fertile lands downstream
through the powerful Mekong and entire villages of
floating fish farms, to a 6th century Franciscan
monastery still living its secluded life of an
island. |
