3-Day Tour: From Saigon to Phu Quoc
or vice versa from Phu Quoc to Saigon

Our boat tours go from Can Tho to Phu Quoc via Cai Be (on odd dates, e. g. Sept 1, 3, 5, 7 etc.)orfrom Cai Be to Phu Quoc via Can Tho (on even dates, e. g. Sept. 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.).
On even dates we also offer a 2-day tour from Saigon to Phu Quoc.

If you are staying in Saigon, we will pick you up at your hotel in Saigonand take you to the pier.

The road trip from Saigonto Can Tho takes approx. 4 hours, to Cai Be approx. 2 hours. This is why on odd dates we have to leave Saigonearlier than on even dates.

The same tour can also be booked in the reverse direction, starting with the flight from Saigonto Phu Quoc where you can stay and enjoy the island for as long as you like, and then take the boat trip through the Mekong Delta back to Saigon.

Day 1: Panorama Cruise

In the morning we pick you up at your hotel in Saigonand take you to Can Tho or Cai Be. You board the Mekong Eyes 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 Mekongpeople.

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 on board and enjoy a drink at the bar or relax on deck as the sun sets over the magnificent water landscape. The boat will anchor for the night. The day ends with a delicious on-board dinner. 

Day 2: Life on the water and floating markets

Wake up well rested to the sound of the River and get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing. At 6.30h the Mekong Eyes sets off for a sunrise cruise. Watch the locals go about their daily work drying exotic fruits and building ships on the wooden yards while enjoying an early breakfast.

After breakfast, we will board a sampan boat to Cai Be or Cai Rang floating market, the region’s busiest and most lively markets. Marvel at the sheer abundance of exotic fruits, vegetables and skilfully handcrafted regional products. We will pull up to the boats for talking and bargaining with the merchants. We will also visit some of the local candy and cake making factories or boat through the green water landscape to see local houses, verdant orchards and ship-building yards.

Disembark the Mekong Eyes at around 11.00 - 11.30h on the pier. You can now dive into the buzz of Can Tho and spend the night enjoying the comfort of the VictoriaHotel*.

*In case you would like to catch the early ferry to Phu Quoc the next morning, you have the option to continue to the waterfront town of Rach Gia. The hotels there are, however, not as comfortable as in Can Tho. 

Day 3: Towards Phu Quoc

This day takes you to the pier in Rach Gia where you embark on the ferry for an exciting ride to Phu Quoc, your holiday paradise for a wonderfully relaxed vacation.

The tour ends here. Of course we will be happy to arrange your accommodation in Phu Quoc and transfer back to Saigon.
