Itineraries

-
In the morning we pick you up at your hotel in Saigon by shuttle bus and then take you to Can Tho or Cai Be. You board your wooden river cruise vessel around noon. After a refreshing welcome drink we show you our on-board facilities and your cozy cabin. 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 a village and the surrounding fruit orchards or rice fields. Meet the friendly locals and taste the local produce and fruits.
Get back on board and enjoy a drink at the bar or relax on deck as the sun sets over the magnificent water landscape of the Mekong River. The boat will anchor for the night. The day ends with a delicious on-board dinner. You stay overnight on board your floating hotel in the Mekong Delta.Meals: L, D
Accommodation: Gecko Eyes Cruise
- Day 2: Life on the water and visiting the island Cu Lao Gieng
-
Wake up early in the morning and enjoy seeing the Mekong Delta coming to life. This morning we arrive in charming Sa Dec for a city tour. There you can see the busy and colorful local market, enjoy a coffee on the nice riverside promenade and visit a nearby flower village with orchards. The charming town still has a lot of colonial architecture, in particular the old market, the church and many old villas and trader’s houses. We visit one of them, a beautifully renovated traditional house of a Chinese trader’s family. This sumptuous building belonged to the main character of the novel „The Lover” and indeed to the lover of Marguerite Duras.
Back on board, we curise towards the Island of Cu Lao Gieng. Located between Chau Doc and Sa Dec on the small island of Cu Lao Gieng, the monastery here 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. Today, Cu Lao Gieng is mainly a retreat for retired nuns.
The large building is completely cut off from villages and located in the middle of fields and green jungle. You will be very surprised to see such an architectural impressive monastery in the middle of nowhere. If you have time you should take the opportunity to visit the Catholic monastery which was built on the island in 1875 by French nuns of Saint Paul de Chartres.
In the late afternoon we return to the Gecko Eyes vessel and enjoy a sunset cruise with more fantastic photo opportunities from aboard.Meals: B, L, D

I went to the Mekong River cruise! ! It was satisfying though it was around 10 minutes. The ship will overthrow at first, is not it? There was also anxiety, but there was skill of the rowers, so I was not worried at all. (Laugh) I can feel unusual as I run around in the jungle. Also, please do not miss the heat measures in the summer.

This was one of the best travel experiences I had. There's no way to see the small villages, the local people without being on the Mekong and stopping to see these things. First class all the way. They think of everything.

Boat full of charm, this old barge which transported rice was pleasantly and soberly arranged. Whether you are on the front deck or at the back, you can be surprised by the huge traffic on the river and seduced by the scenes taking place on the banks. The food is good, the staff attentive, the French speaking guide nice. The walk in the rice fields is nice and the passage to the locals friendly. Try to have one of the 2 cabins on the upper deck, it will be more comfortable. Admittedly, the space is small, but you can slip the luggage under the bed.
