Exclusive Mekong River Journey on Private Gecko Eyes Cruise

For travelers who seek privacy, exclusivity, and a truly personalized experience on the Mekong Delta, the Gecko Eyes Cruise is the perfect choice. Unlike other Mekong River cruises with multiple cabins, Gecko Eyes offers a 1-cabin private charter, designed especially for small groups of 1-3 guests. This makes it an ideal escape for couples, small families, or friends who want the Mekong Delta all to themselves.

 

 

Different from the classic Saigon-Can Tho-Cai Be routes, this special 3-day/2-night itinerary goes beyond the usual paths, combining cultural discovery with untouched nature. One of the highlights is a visit to Xeo Quyt, a historic and natural treasure where the lush cajeput forest once sheltered the northern army during the Vietnam War. Best of all, because Gecko Eyes operates as a private charter, the cruise can depart daily, giving you complete flexibility in planning your Vietnam tour.
