Overview
The Mekong Delta is a vast region in southern Vietnam, where the mighty Mekong River splits into nine branches before flowing into the sea. The delta is home to diverse landscapes, rich culture, and abundant wildlife. One of the best ways to explore the delta is by taking a private cruise on a traditional sampan, a wooden boat that has been used for centuries by the local people.
Song Xanh Sampan is a flotilla of four unique, authentic, and charming sampans that offer private cruise experiences in the Mekong Delta. The sampans are designed with natural materials such as rattan, bamboo, and exotic wood, and are fully equipped with comfortable amenities and attentive crew. The sampans can accommodate from two to six passengers, making them ideal for couples, families, or small groups.
(minimum 2 persons)
One of the highlights of the Song Xanh Sampan cruise is the visit to the Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the largest and most lively floating markets in the Mekong Delta. The market is open from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., but the best time to visit is around 7 a.m., when the activity is at its peak. Visitors can admire the rustic riverscapes and the variety of produce on display, as well as enjoy the unique sightseeing experience of cruising among the floating vendors.
The Song Xanh Sampan cruise also includes stops at other attractions in the Mekong Delta, such as a rice noodle factory, a fruit orchard, a local village, or a Cao Dai temple. Depending on the itinerary, the cruise can last from one to three nights, starting either from Cai Be or Can Tho.
The Song Xanh Sampan cruise is a must-do activity for anyone who wants to experience the authentic and charming life of the Mekong Delta. It is a great opportunity to witness the local culture, taste the fresh and delicious fruits, and capture some memorable photos of the waterway scenery.
