For over 12 years our private overnight sampans have glided across the rivers of the Mekong Delta. Onboard, you will be the focal point of our 5 person local team as you enjoy cycling trips, walks and visits to real local business. The design of our sampan allows us to make informal stops almost anywhere without the need of tender boats or formal docks.

Upon arrival, you will board your Private Sampan at Mango Pier and head to An Hoa

canals. Upon boarding your private sampan, your luggage will be brought to your cabin, while you enjoy a refreshing welcome cocktail on the deck while meeting your

crew members and enjoying the scenery and fresh air from the water.

The cruise will take you to Huu Dinh village in Ben Tre where you will enjoy a bicycle trip with your guide (approx. 4 km’s). Return to your sampan and cruise to a small quiet canal. Board a rowing sampan boat through the small canals, which are covered green by the water coconut plants.

Stop at a local house to taste the tropical fruits and chat with the farmer. Then return to your sampan to enjoy the lunch before continuing to cruise to Vung Liem town.

On the way, stop for a bike trip to explore more of the local daily life and the beauty of

the area - this place offers a great opportunity for you to interact with the friendly

locals. Get back to your boat, relax, and enjoy your cruise then prepare for your cooking class dinner demonstration. Overnight on board
