Romantic Saigon Sunset Cruise by Yacht

Departure Time: 4:00 PM

Finish Time: 6:30 PM

Experience the romance of Saigon – a city once known as the pearl of the Far East – as you explore its winding canals and waterways on a yacht tour.

The yacht will bring you to an old area of Saigon, where you can see a mixture of architectural styles, urban sceneries combined with historical objects. You will pass Nha Rong Wharf (The Dragon house) built in 1863 by French colonialists, where now Ho Chi Minh Museum is located. You will see Saigon Port and observe the life of the inhabitants of Saigon by night.

*Minimum 4 people per booking is required for this tour. If your group size is less than 4 people, please contact us to check for availability.

3:45 pm: Your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel and bring you by minivan to Saigon Water Bus Station

4:15 pm: Depart by yacht and observe the bustling, historic city from the water. Explore winding canals and tributaries in a setting similar to the Mekong Delta, with traditional riverside landscapes and lush jungle expenses before watching the city’s skyline beautifully lit up at the sunset.

What to know in advance of Saigon Sunset Cruise

Bring your camera! There are amazing photo opportunities when observing the beautiful sunset on Saigon River.

Soft drinks ( Coke Zero), matcha green tea, water and fruit provided during the boat journey are included in the overall price and not subject additional charge.

Les Rives will provide insect repellent, waterproof ponchos and umbrellas.

Please note that the abundant water hyacinth on the Saigon River can cause the boat to stall, meaning sometimes we’ll have to go at a gentler pace than usual. Occasionally there are slight delays.
