Mekong Escape
- A Secret Retreats journey -
This journey has been personally designed by Anh and Benoit, owners of Bassac Cruise who have spent decades in Can Tho, the main city on the Mekong Delta.
We can of course adjust according to your request.
Highlights of the Journey:
- The Unicorn Island and its plantation, fish markets
- Floating markets
- A night cruise on a traditional wooden rice barge
- Possible extension for 1 night in Can Tho
The Mekong Delta is a rich and vibrant escape a few hours from Saigon: colonial architecture, floating markets, plantations, fishing, boats and bikes... it is a condensed mosaic of Vietnam and a fascinating journey through this vital artery of the country: My Tho and Can Tho. A cruise in the delta is the best way to witness the daily life and activity of the water, but also the still heritage Khmer pagodas with the rich colours and fancy script of Cambodian-style temples.
