Vietnam Boat Tour

Not the whole country, but many parts of Vietnam are perfect for exploring by boat. Halong Bay offers overnight and multi‑day cruises through magical landscapes. The Mekong Delta is ideal for shorter river trips or longer journeys to Cambodia.

Some places in Vietnam are difficult to get to by car, like some workshops in the Mekong Delta. Most of our Vietnam tour itineraries include guided boat ride experiences to give you a combination of sightseeing and peaceful time on the water.

It depends on your destination. A Halong Bay cruise can be done in 1 day. But 2–3 days lets you explore deeper and enjoy more activities like kayaking or visiting floating villages.

The Mekong Delta can be seen on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. But staying 2–3 days means you can see the early‑morning floating markets and visit quieter, hidden canals. If you have time, always choose at least two days for a richer experience.

Of course. One of Vietnam's most distinctive features is the Mekong Delta, which is best experienced on a cruise. In riverside villages, you will encounter local families, pass floating markets, and explore serene canals. It is an opportunity to observe everyday life that hasn't changed much in decades.

A Mekong cruise is also very peaceful. You can sit on the deck and watch the world drift by—fishermen casting nets, children waving from the shore, and boats loaded with colorful fruits. It’s both relaxing and deeply cultural.

October to April is the best time for a Halong Bay cruise. The weather is cooler, the skies are clear, and the sea is calm.

November to April is ideal time for the Mekong Delta. This is the dry season, so you’ll have sunny days and easy boat travel. If you prefer fewer crowds and lower prices, May and September are also good choices, though it can be warmer.

Halong Bay is about 2.5–3 hours by road from Hanoi. The most popular way is by comfortable limousine van or private car, which we can arrange for you. This is the quickest and most relaxing option.

Some cruises also offer direct shuttle services from Hanoi to the pier. For travelers in a hurry, there’s even a seaplane option, giving you a bird’s‑eye view of the bay before your cruise starts.
