This two-day cruise aboard a traditional wooden riverboat immerses you in the living heart of the Mekong Delta. Departing from Ho Chi Minh City, travel to the shores of Cai Be to embark and drift along shaded canals bordered by tropical fruit orchards, craft workshops, and riverside stilt houses.
After a restful night moored along a peaceful tributary, witness the extraordinary spectacle of the Cai Rang floating market in Can Tho, a vibrant aquatic crossroads where exotic fruits and bountiful southern produce change hands boat to boat.
Morning departure from Ho Chi Minh City to Cai Be, the gateway to the Mekong Delta. Arriving around midday, step aboard your traditional wooden riverboat and enjoy a refreshing welcome drink served by the crew.

In the afternoon, make an onshore stop at a riverside village in Mang Thit. Explore lush orchards and verdant rice paddies either on foot or on an easy bicycle ride at your own pace, meeting friendly local residents. In the evening, share a convivial dinner on board as the boat drops anchor for a peaceful night on the river.

Travel Log
Selected moments to experience the landscapes, encounters, and rhythm of this itinerary.

Originaire de Nam Dinh, berceau de traditions au cœur du delta du fleuve Rouge, j’ai grandi avec un amour viscéral pour le Vietnam : pour la poésie de ses paysages — des pitons karstiques du Nord aux méandres fertiles du Mékong —, mais surtout pour l’infinie bonté, le sourire et la résilience de son peuple.
Du souffle majestueux des pitons calcaires du Tonkin à la douceur nonchalante des arroyos du Mékong, le Vietnam est une terre de contrastes poétiques. Mon bonheur est de vous ouvrir les portes de nos adresses confidentielles et de dessiner pour vous un itinéraire fluide, vivant et profondément humain.
