We used the Dragon Eyes three day river cruise to get Ho Chi Minh City from Phu Quoc, 2 night 3 day. It was a really good way of turning a day of travel (wasted time in my book) in to exciting days of our holiday. The team are friendly and always looking to help out. The fantastic time we had is absolutely testament to their care and dedication.

My wife and I took a 2-night voyage on the Dragon Eyes 2 and just loved it. Andy, our tour guide, was absolutely great. The food was amazing and the staff attentive. The views of life on the river and delta were fascinating and a way to see local life without being too disruptive. If you�re looking for a river/Delta tour I highly recommend booking through this company!

Wow. We were able to get away from the mopeds for a leisurely float down the Mekong. There was a get-off-the-boat tour included that inserted us into a village for a walk around as well as a tour of a Temple. The food on the boat is fantastic. The rooms are small but very nice. The bathrooms are superb. I loved this time on river.

This was superb! We spent 3 days and 2 nights on the Dragon Eyes. It was everything we had hoped it would be. We had our own tour guide, Tee, who was amazing,. We were able to get a true taste of the culture while being spoiled on-board. The food was great. Couldn't recommend it enough.
