Day 1 (Friday): Cai Be – Sa Dec – Cao Lanh

In the morning, we pick you up at your hotel in Saigon (District 1 and parts of District 3) and take you to your port of embarkation in Cai Be.

As lunch is served, the boat starts cruising.
In the afternoon we arrive in the laid back town of Sa Dec for a city tour. There you can see the busy and colorful local market, enjoy a coffee on the nice riverside promenade or 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 traders’ 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.
In the late afternoon we return to the Mekong Explorer vessel and enjoy a sunset cruise with more fantastic photo opportunities from aboard.

This has to be a must do if you are in Vietnam for a week or more. Our boat was well equiped, the food was lovely and the crew wonderful. We had three days, two nights on board our boat and the whole experience was a real memory. The shore excursions were not too long and well organised.

We sailed on the Mekong eye explorer doing the 3 day 2 nights being picked up in HCMC and finishing in Phnom Pen. The bus trip was interesting 4 hours drive to the boat with our guide pointing out interesting information. The boat was beautiful. The bedroom was a very good size as well as the bathroom just like a hotel. The food was great and staff friendly.

the staff on the boat, Hayden and Kim, Dave who took us by bus to Chau Doc, and Lee and John who accompanied us on the boat to Phnom Penh were all sensational. The restored junk was beautiful with a larger than expected bedroom, offered great food and well organised tours. The overnight hotel in Chau Doc, the Victoria was a beautiful relic of days past. Cannot recommend the trip highly enough
