In the South, the Victoria Speedboats cruise the Mekong River, linking Can Tho, Chau Doc and Phnom Penh. Explore one the most mysterious rivers in the world, the mighty Mekong, and admire the natural beauty of its timeless scenery. From the comfort of your seat, watch life unfold before you: encounter tiny villages, bamboo-stilt houses, colourful floating markets, peasants at work and smiling children.
This trip is designed to discover the very best of Mekong in comfort and style, 4 days on the complex maze of the Mekong Delta giving you a insight into life on the mighty Mekong River and its tributaries. You will be taken along the vast network of canals and tributaries to see how people go about their daily lives. Gliding on the busy waterways we have the opportunity to interact with the local people at the floating markets, eat tropical fruits in lush orchards, look into the art of Bonsai, have tea on a typical boathouse and taste a delightful local cuisine.
