About Cai Be Princess Sampan

Cai Be Princess is one of the few private sampans in the Mekong Delta. It is a great choice for travelers who prefer Sampans with a traditional design style and ultimate privacy.

Join us in this journey to explore lively floating markets with the riches of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables from Mekong’s gardens. This is also a great opportunity to take a glimpse into the agricultural, rural life of people in the delta region by visiting local workshops that produce various handmade souvenirs from rice and coconuts.

A highlight of my journey

Cruising through the Mekong Delta on the Cai Be Princess Sampan was such a serene and memorable experience. The calm waterways, lush orchards, and traditional villages offered a beautiful glimpse into local life. I loved visiting the ancient house, Cai Be Church, and small workshops where friendly locals showed us how coconut candy and puffed rice are made. The atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming, perfectly matching the pleasant tropical climate. Ending the journey with lunch at the charming Le Longanier Restaurant made the whole trip truly special.

Super friendly guide and a fantastic boat

We stopped for lunch in a wonderful location and visited an ancient typical home, a candy factory, and tiny canals. It was Vietnam's wonderful decision for our trip from Ho Chi Minh to Can Tho.

Fantastic day cruise on the backwater

We took a full day cruise on our private boat with air conditioning. The guide and crew were excellent, and the food was tasty. It was nice to traverse off the beaten path for a bit. The morning visit to the mangroves and local houses was somewhat depressing due to harsh weather. The best way to experience the authentic Mekong Delta anyways. The boats are exceptionally nice.

King and Queen of the Delta

Nam, our guide, picked us up at 7:40 from our hotel for the journey out of the city, through the suburbs, and into the countryside. After around 2 hours, we parked and boarded a river boat. We accomplished this by jumping between different vessels. We explored the river, passing by fish traps and coconut orchards as we made our way through jungle canals. We stopped at a coconut plantation and sampled snake wine and coconut candies. Snake wine smelled and tasted like sake. We were treated like kings and queens. All the time drifting quietly down the river. All too soon, it was time to travel into the increasingly congested traffic of Saigon. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience a great rural break and authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
