To cap off our trip to Southern Vietnam we treated ourselves to a 3-day luxury river cruise in the Mekong Delta. It was the most fantastic experience, adventurous yet exciting at the same time!
Following a three hour drive from Saigon, we boarded the Mekong Eyes Explorer (the newest boat!) at Ben Tre. The first day was easy with a leisurely hike through a rural village. Day two was chock full of activity starting with an early tour of the Cai Rang Floating Market, a tour of a rice sheet and noodle factory, followed by a visit to Cho An Binh, Can Tho's largest land market, then transfer to the Mekong Eyes Classic, a traditional wood junk. In the afternoon we take a cooking class onboard and learn how to make banh khot! Day three we de-board the Classic and wrap up our trip with a sampan boat tour through a water village, tour and tea at a coconut candy factory, and a biking tour of Cai Be before getting in the bus back to Saigon.
