The Mekong Eyes combines regional boat-building traditions with modern comforts to become the perfect holiday vessel to cruise the Mekong Delta in style. At 39 m long and 8.5 m wide, the Mekong Eyes river cruiser was built out of an old, traditional rice barge with the finest quality wood, and artfully decorated by skilled craftsmen of the Mekong Delta.One of the traditional ceremonies performed on a newly constructed Mekong boat is the “eye opening”. The eyes are painted on the bow for good luck, a wide-awake crew and fast and safe journeys. The river cruise boat can comfortably accommodate up to 30 passengers on a large area of approx. 250 m2, it’s like a floating hotel.

The trip itself was great
It was so interesting seeing life on the Mekong and visiting some villages and the floating market
The rooms on the boat we lovely and the food great
We were disappointed as we weren’t in the boat we expected, but it was very comfortable

We have had an amazing trip on Geeko eyes , a private charter for 2. Lots of exploring and a team that are professional and well organised. We were so well looked after and the accommodation, views, food and activities was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide (Kin) was so at tentative and adapted the trip to suit our preference.

It was hard to rate this because there were some big positives but also several things that let the trip down.
The boat itself was beautiful, the room was nice, and it was fun floating down the river. Our guide was also really nice and entertaining.
Food was decent - not great but not too bad. I would say however that the lunch on the last day was atrocious. It was a stop off on the drive back to HCMC and is at a place called Mekong Rest Stop. We didn't eat the cold, flavourless, textureless set lunch which was presented to us. It's really such a shame because there are other much better road side stops and it felt so cheap and inauthentic to stop here. The place itself is very grand from all of the tour company commission flowing in. It's just a shame they didn't spend any of that on the food.
There was a great drinks selection on board the boat including several tasty craft beers.
The trips unfortunately were a let down. First trip to the village is a 5 minute walk down a path and a stop at someone's home which is used by several tour agencies as a place to sit for half an hour with tea and pineapple. The second trip was to the floating market which was fine. Just be warned that you leave for the market at 8:30am by which point the market isn't really operating properly anymore. You'll have some people attach their boat to yours and offer you coffee which was cool. Then you'll pull up at a boat selling pineapple to tourists and you'll get some pineapple paid by the company (some of which gets slyly handed back to your boat driver).
So long as you are more interested in the boat itself rather than the trips you'll have a good time.
