Cruising the Mekong
Cruising the Mekong
A beautifully crafted wooden boat, the R/V Bassac offers comfortable twin cabins with en suite bathrooms, a sun deck and a superb restaurant with bar.
Board the Victoria hotel’s 'junk' for a luxurious breakfast cruising down the Mekong to the Cai Rang floating market where a mass of boats converge to trade.
Afterwards, you board a smaller boat which will enable you to weave among the boats and see the buying and selling process close up and even allowing you to join in if you wish!
You then leave the main river to explore a family run noodle factory which is located down one of the many canals that criss-cross the area.
You return to the main quay in Can Tho by small boat at around 10am. This trip begins at approximately 6.15am to catch the market in full swing.
These activities are designed to give you the most authentic experiences around where you're staying. We work with local guides, who use their knowledge and often a resident's eye to show you the main sights and more out-of-the-way attractions. Our specialists can suggest tours and activities that will introduce you to the local ways of life.

RV Mekong Cruise Boat
This fine replica of an original 1920s river steamer has teak-lined twin cabins, all with air-conditioning, en suite shower and bathroom.
The Delta by Bike
Riding mostly down narrow lanes along the river and away from the bustle of daily traffic, you experience real Vietnamese rural life, still unspoilt by modern day living — people working in the river, friendly waving children.
You can enjoy this activity as part of the suggested tours below, or we can weave it into a trip shaped entirely around you.
