    Approximately 105 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Cai Be is a charming river town known for its tropical fruit gardens, waterfront villages, floating market, river islands, local crafts, and friendly locals.
    From 7:00 to 7:15 AM, our minivan will pick you up for a two-hour journey to Cai Lay, renowned for its tropical horticulture featuring fruits like longan, jackfruit, durian, pomelo, and rambutan. Cycling under the lush green canopy along tranquil countryside lanes, you will cover 18-25 km to explore fruit orchards and witness local daily life. Upon reaching Cai Be, observe locals crafting puffed rice, coconut candy, rice paper, and more at the village.
    Next, we’ll board a boat for a relaxing cruise on the Mekong River, passing riverfront villages and the Cai Be floating market. Lunch will be served at a local garden house on Tan Phong Island, featuring specialties like pancakes, deep-fried elephant ear fish, and longan berry wine.
    After lunch, we’ll navigate narrow natural canals on wooden sampans to observe local activities. Later, the journey shifts to Long An, renowned for its large red-fleshed dragon fruit plantations and rice fields. Enjoy a bike ride, covering 15-22 km through dragon fruit farms and rice paddies as the sun sets. Our guide will explain how farmers cultivate dragon fruit trees and maintain their agricultural practices. You’ll have the opportunity to taste fresh fruits straight from the trees and enjoy the serene pathways amidst the rice fields at dusk.
    Following a full day of exploring the delta, unwind with a cold beer and snacks before returning to Saigon, arriving at the hotel around 7 PM. As the tour concludes, don’t forget to leave a tip!

My husband and I, along with five friends, thoroughly enjoyed our Heritage Line The Jahan Mekong River Cruise from Siem Reap to Saigon. The food was out of this world. I have celiac disease and Heritage Line knows how to take extra care with food preparation to keep people safe. Our outstanding travel agent set everything up for us, answered all of our questions and checked on us frequently. I highly recommend Heritage Line The Jahan and I highly recommend booking this unforgettable journey through a trusted travel advisor.

The entire crew was personable. Special shout outs to the Aqua Mekong cruise director and housekeeping manager. Rooms were clean. Food options were always delicious plus there was no way to ever be hungry! One of our group had dietary restrictions and there were always choices that worked. Evening entertainment was great and every night was something different. We did the Mekong River cruise so the daily excursions included time in local villages, markets, and cultural sites. We all had fun and appreciated the small ship experience.

We went on a 7 day Mekong River cruise on the La Marguerite ship. Our twin room on the lower level was very nice, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Housekeeping twice a day with turndown service was fantastic. Dining was spectacular with buffet and menu choices, and the special dinner was magnificent. Each day the menus reflected local Mekong flavors. Service was extraordinarily good. Every evening a complimentary happy hour was offered, and the staff were always attentive. My traveling companion was gluten free and had many wonderful options at each meal. Excursions were very good, with gentle or more active tour choices and excellent local guides. This was one of the best cruise experiences I’ve ever had!

The Jayavarman cruise was simply outstanding. Our tour director was on point at every turn, with clear instructions and follow-through every step of the way. The food was delicious, the wine and drinks were abundant, and the living quarters were attractive and clean. The day excursions were divided into more difficult, regular, and easy so everyone got to select their pace. This was our first true river cruise and we enjoyed every single moment of it.

Lovely cruise down the Mekong on Pandaw. Crew were very friendly, food was great, loved all the drinks and atmosphere on board. Loads of guided tours available and we visited some lovely places along the river. Very smooth journey with only slight changes due to river conditions, all handled perfectly by the crew whilst we were whisked off on an excursion. Great evening entertainment and our boat had a wonderful traditional charm throughout. Would definitely recommend.
