My husband & l did a 2 night, 3 day cruise & we thoroughly enjoyed it. We found the staff very friendly & helpful. The food was great & we were given the opportunity to try new things, which we may not have ordered in a restaurant. It was a nice relaxing couple of days. The 4 hr trip from HCMC was long, but we did have 2 stops along the way. On the first day after lunch we docked & went for a walk around a local village. The second day we went for a local san pan ride & visited a floating market. We were able to buy a vietnamese coffee from one of the local vendors on the river. That afternoon we walked around another village & had afternoon tea served by a local family. I would be happy to recommend Mekong Eyes, but l think if your travel plans would permit you to do the 2 night cruise, it is better as there is a lot of travelling to & from the cruise. The only negative for the whole trip, was the lunch on our return journey, which is included in the price. A group of 8 were on the return journey & the food was rubbish & wasn't eaten by any of us. This was very disappointing after all the beautiful food we were served on board.

Me and my daughter cruised from Cai Be and ended in Can Tho. The trip was fantastic. The crew were extremely attentive, our guide Cate was very kind. The food was good, the cabin excellent. There was a nice mixture of chilling on deck watching the world go by, and arranged tours of villages and markets which were interesting and no stress. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic! As a tour much better than Halong Bay as not as formulaic or contrived. Didn't feel like we were being herded like cattle. Staff were wonderful. Land trips very interesting, guides excellent. Cooking class was fantastic. Running out of superlatives here...... Only 3 of us cooking class and we had a ball with the gorgeous Hen. We loved every bit of our 3 day cruise.

We left 3 days on this boat for a cruise on the Mekong. This boat is beautiful, the crew serious and we had a good time on this boat. Bike tours are offered. The meals are delicious and the cabin is pretty. Of course the bathroom is equipped with a shower but not as we enter it but it is very easy to use. I spent my birthday on the boat and the crew was kind enough to offer me flowers. A cruise that changes from Halong Bay and much less touristy
