Loved how peaceful and personal the cruise felt

We did the Gecko Eyes private cruise from Sa Dec to Can Tho (3 days). Having a private boat meant no rushing and access to small canals you’d never see on a bigger cruise.

The cabin was simple but comfortable, with great river views. Waking up to local life along the Mekong was a highlight. Excursions were well-paced and authentic.

Meals were freshly cooked and delicious, especially enjoying dinner on deck at sunset. By the time we reached Can Tho, we felt we’d experienced the Mekong in a truly local way.

The whole experience was seamless. There was nothing to worry about, as Ms. Janet arranged everything for us, from the transportation to the cruise.
The ship, though not too modern, is cozy and comfortable. The staff was very nice and supportive of us. Amazing.

A trip on the Mekong

Rosie Nhung of Mekong Eyes took care of all the details. On board, our guide made sure that we were safe and comfortable.
This has got to be the best way to travel between HCMC, Vietnam, and Phnom Phen, Cambodia.

We were able to secure the cruise for an evening bay cruise and overnight followed the next day with the trip to Can Tho. There also is an upper deck sitting area for enjoying all there is to see as you float along the Mekong. Our meals were wonderfully prepared and kindly served by our hosts. The team we worked with got us to the floating market, several villages, and a great nature experience viewing an egret preserve.

Nice trip

We took a private boat with the Gecko Eyes team from Sai Gon to Can Tho (on the Mekong River). This one-cabin ship included a comfortable stateroom and a lovely living space for meals and viewing.

The crew on the boat were really attentive and made our stay entirely delightful. This was one of the most fun and memorable travel experiences we've had, and we strongly recommend it.
