Overnight Cruise on The Mekong - 2 Days / 1 Night

Overnight Cruise on The Mekong - 2 Days / 1 Night - Overview
Ho Chi Minh City - Mekong Delta

Mekong Delta, where the mighty Mekong River approaches and fans out into the sea, is a colorful and vibrant region. Deemed as the rice bowl of Vietnam, it is home to a complex system of distributaries and is dotted with countless rice fields, fruit orchards, handicraft villages and floating markets. The best way to experience Mekong Delta's endless waterways is none other than an overnight cruise.

Situated a short 2-3 hours' drive from Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta offers a distinct pace of life and sights from the dynamic city. Starting with Cai Be, one of the biggest floating markets in the delta, discover the characteristics of local life in the delta region. It is a bustling wholesale market where hundreds of traders convene to exchange fresh produce and other commodities from their wooden sampans. Continue cruising through the maze of canals and waterways and experience the timeless scenery of life on the delta. As the sun sets, your boat will dock for the night amidst the tranquil delta.

The following morning, our boat will bring you to Cai Rang, another well-established floating market in the Mekong Delta. At sunrise, wake up to the bustle and see hundreds of boats of different sizes loaded with seasonsal goods. Produce are tied to a tall pole placed in front of the boats to attract market-goers and let them see from afar the goods on offer.

Balancing comfort and sighteesing, a cruise of Mekong Delta offers an opportunity to witness the local daily life and lush landscapes at close range. In addition, an overnight cruise allows you to capture the beauty of the Mekong Delta at its very best - during the early morning hours when the delta comes alive. A delightful way to explore the unspoiled charm of the vast Mekong Delta, an overnight cruise will leave you with unforgettable memories long after your visit to this fascinating region.
