DAY 2. BEN TRE AND THE FERTILE WATERWAYS B, L, D

Early morning we set sail through the Cho Gao Canal, a vital waterway link for the transportation of goods to and from the city which was constructed in 1876 by the French and offers a fascinating insight to life along the water. We reach Ben Tre and journey by sampans through mangroves and bamboo forests to the fruit orchards abundant in the area. This is a fertile farming region with half of Vietnam's rice production coming from the Mekong Delta. It also hosts a rich artisanal culture which we will witness at a local village specialising in handicrafts. Back aboard we sail deeper into the delta toward Chau Doc.

CHAU DOC AND INTO CAMBODIA CHAU DOC AND INTO CAMBODIA

In the morning, we take minivans for a short drive to Sam Mountain, the location of Phuoc Dien Tu or the Hang Pagoda. After climbing the steps we are greeted with stunning views across the Mekong. For those not keen on the stairs, explore the local market instead. Afterwards, we visit the nearby floating fish farms by Sampan before being treated to a private Lion dance performance at a local Village. Upon return to the ship, we navigate a web of canals before dropping anchor on the Vietnam/Cambodia border to undergo Immigration formalities.

Note: During high water periods in October and November, navigation into Chau Doc may be hampered by low bridges meaning today's excursion will be replaced with a local village visit at Long Thuan.

You MUST USE Glamour Adventures !!!!
We just had the most incredible three weeks in Vietnam and it was largely due to the unbelievable planning, care and attention from the wonderful folks at Glamour Adventures. We worked with Rose and Uyen to plan our trip and everything was taken care of efficiently, professionally and to perfection. Everything you can imagine was thought of including dietary restrictions. There was only one small issue which was dealt with professionally and to our satisfaction. We can’t say enough good things about Glamour Adventures and if you want to visit Vietnam or any of the other countries that they support, you will absolutely be thrilled with your experience. Thank you Rose and Uyen for the wonderful memories. Love Lisa and Michael from Canada
