ÌÇÐÄvlog´«Ã½

These beautifully crafted wooden boats, built over two or three decks, offer the style and elegance of traditional rice barges typical to the Mekong Delta. While their facilities may be simple compared to other cruise options in the Delta, they are ideal if you are looking to immerse yourself in local culture and traditions.

Cruising through the heart of the Delta, you’ll have the opportunity to explore on smaller boats, stopping to walk around local villages and learn about the villagers’ way of life; such as how they grow rice, fruit and vegetables. You will also visit cottage industries, as well as the floating markets that form the lifeblood of the region. Without doubt, this is one of the most characterful and authentic ways to explore this fascinating region of Southern Vietnam.
