Meet the boat in Rach Gia at 10:00 am where your crew is set to welcome you on board with cold towels and a refreshing drink. Begin a leisurely cruise along the scenic waterways of the Delta aboard your Song Xanh private sampan.

Lunch is served on board before arriving in Long Xuyen. Shore excursion to Tiger Island (Cu Lao Ong Ho), once the home of Ton Duc Thang, Vietnam’s second president. Explore the museum and the picturesque grounds before arriving at a local home. Meet the family and enjoy an elegant candlelit meal with wine. After dinner, return to the sampan and enjoy your first night on the Hau River.

Meals: Lunch/Dinner
Accommodation: Song Xanh Sampan

Enjoy an early breakfast on board while your sampan cruises downstream. Arrive in the charming town of Sa Dec and visit one of its highlights, the ancient house of Huynh Thuy Le, a real-life character in the celebrated Indochina-era novel “The Lover” by Marguerite Duras. Stroll around town to observe the architectural influences from French colonial times as well as the large Chinese and Khmer communities that were established here. As a result, many religions are represented side by side: a Cao Dai temple, a Catholic church, a Chinese temple and Vietnamese pagodas.

Lunch and dinner are served on board. Enjoy your second night aboard the Song Xanh on the Mekong River.

Meals: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
Accommodation: Song Xanh Sampan

Early morning cruising towards Cai Be. Observe life as it plays out on shore - people going about their daily activities against picturesque riverscapes - while your crew serves breakfast on board. Stop at various points along the way for a fascinating look into some of the home-based cottage industries of the region including brick factories and local food production like coconut candy and puffed rice. 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 plantations, a glimpse into the Indochina of yesteryear.
