Day 1. Dragon Eyes Cruise Expedition from Can Tho to Cai Be – 3 Days: Saigon cruising tours to Cantho (L/D)

The road trip from Saigon to Can Tho takes approx. 4 hours, to Cai Be approx. 2 hours. This is why on odd dates we have to leave Saigon earlier than on even dates.
In the morning we pick you up at your hotel in Saigon and take you to Can Tho or Cai Be. Can Tho is the fifth largest city in  Vietnam, and the largest city in the  Mekong delta. It is noted for its floating market, rice-paper-making village, and picturesque rural canals.  The most unique and natural in architecture of Can Tho is the canal network. Canals play an important role as “street”; it brings the simple and poetic beauty to Can Tho. You board the Dragon Eyes Cruise around noon. After a refreshing welcome drink we show you our on-board facilities and your cosy 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 the village and the surrounding fruit orchards or rice fields. Meet the friendly locals and taste the local produce and fruits. Get back to Mekong Dragon Eyes Cruise and enjoy a drink at the bar or relax on deck as the sun sets over the magnificent water landscape. The Dragon Eyes Cruise will anchor for the night. The day ends with a delicious on-board dinner.
