Your journey begins at 10:00 AM at the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel jetty, where your crew will greet you with cold towels and a refreshing drink. Step aboard the Song Xanh private sampan and set off on a leisurely cruise through the waterways surrounding Chau Doc, heading toward Long Xuyen. Along the way, visit a vegetable garden, then continue through a narrow canal, passing picturesque monkey bridges and tranquil villages.

Lunch will be served on board as you cruise toward Long Xuyen. Upon arrival, visit Tiger Island (Cu Lao Ong Ho), a small island that was once the home of Vietnam’s second president, Ton Duc Thang. Take a leisurely stroll around the park surrounding the museum, soaking in the history and peaceful atmosphere.

Before sunset, make your final stop at a traditional Vietnamese home, where you’ll gain insight into local life. The owner will warmly welcome you, and a candlelit dinner will be served in this intimate setting.

Conclude your day with a peaceful night on board the Song Xanh, drifting along the Hau River.

Enjoy breakfast on board at 7:00 AM as your sampan cruises downstream. Arrive in Sa Dec and take a leisurely stroll around this charming town, known for its rich history and cultural significance.

Visit one of the town's highlights, the ancient house of Huynh Thuy Le, a real-life figure featured in the acclaimed novel and film The Lover by Marguerite Duras. As you explore the town, you'll see the influence of large Chinese and Khmer communities, alongside the French colonial architecture that still marks the landscape. This unique blend of cultures has resulted in a diverse religious landscape, with a Cao Dai temple, a Catholic church, a Chinese temple, and Vietnamese pagodas all standing side by side.

Lunch and dinner will be served on board as you continue your journey. Enjoy your second night aboard the Song Xanh, drifting peacefully on the Mekong River.

Set off at 6:00 AM as your cruise begins toward Cai Be, where you’ll observe daily life unfolding along the riverbanks—locals going about their routines against the backdrop of picturesque landscapes. Breakfast will be served on board as you enjoy the serene views.

From the islet, transfer to a rowing sampan and glide through the peaceful, narrow canals. Along the way, stop at various points to explore the cottage industries of the region, including a brick factory and small-scale food production, such as coconut candy and puffed rice (the local equivalent of popcorn). These home-based businesses provide a livelihood for the river communities.

Your cruise concludes at Le Longanier Restaurant, where lunch is served in a beautiful colonial-style villa set in a lush tropical garden by the river. Surrounded by fruit plantations, this charming venue offers a glimpse into the elegance of Indochina from a bygone era.
