Meet us at Cai Be Jetty at 10:00 am, where the crew will welcome you aboard with cold towels and a refreshing drink as the Cai Be Princess Sampan sets off on a leisurely cruise through the busy waterways of the Mekong Delta.
From the comfort of your sampan, watch daily life unfold along the riverbanks and enjoy the scenery as your attentive crew serves tea and seasonal fruit. Visit an ancient house built in the 19th century. We’ll make stops along the way to explore local cottage industries, including coconut candy and puffed rice production (the local equivalent of popcorn).
Your cruise ends at Le Longanier Restaurant. Lunch is served in this exquisite colonial-style villa set in a lush tropical garden by the river and surrounded by fruit trees, giving you a sense of the privileged lifestyle of the Indochina era.
After lunch, reboard the Cai Be Princess and stop at the historic Cai Be Church. Continue towards Vinh Long through the Dong Phu Canal, passing Binh Hoa Phuoc and An Binh, two small islands renowned for their fruit orchards. After crossing the Co Chien River, the sampan docks at Vinh Long Pier at around 3:00 pm.
*Notes: Actual itinerary may vary depending upon river tide, arrival time or other conditions.
