Mekong River Boat Tours from Can Tho
The Hau River — the Bassac, the Mekong’s southern arm — is more than a kilometre wide at Can Tho and carries everything from car ferries to sampans with an outboard strapped on. River tours use it as a corridor: out past the container wharves and the floating fish farms, downstream to the islets, and back in the late afternoon when the water turns the colour of milky tea.

Mekong River Cruises i Can Tho — Vanliga frågor
What is the difference between the Mekong and the Hau River?
The Hau, known internationally as the Bassac, is one of the two main arms the Mekong splits into before it reaches the sea. Can Tho sits on its left bank, and every river tour from the city runs on the Hau rather than on the Tien arm further north.
How long are Mekong boat tours from Can Tho?
The standard sunrise trip is three to five hours. Full-day river tours of eight to ten hours add Phong Dien market, an islet and lunch with a family, and multi-day options continue down to Chau Doc or across to the Cambodian border.
Can you take a boat from Can Tho to Chau Doc?
Yes — river transfers and two-day tours run up the Hau to Chau Doc, usually with the Tra Su cajuput forest and a Cham village on the way. Some continue to Phnom Penh by fast boat, though that leg is generally booked separately.
