Celebrate on bikes, tuk tuks and kayaks

Aqua Expeditions has introduced exciting new adventures on bikes, tuk tuks and kayaks to celebrate the first anniversary of Aqua Mekong’s cruises between Vietnam and Cambodia.
The new excursions offer a unique way to observe the exotic rituals of daily life along the mighty Mekong stopping to photograph catfish sellers,the planting of rice paddies and local children playing with the family’s domesticated water buffalo.
The sleek and contemporary Aqua Mekong is the only vessel on the Mekong River to operate private tenders – with the fleet of four aluminium launch boats – and bikes taking guests to fascinating local settings not accessible to other cruise companies.
All excursions are limited to 10 guests per guide.
The adventures transport guests by boat, foot and bike, past pastoral Khmer scenes of sugar palm fronds, emerald rice fields,floating markets and families travelling by ox cart while they enjoy ‘meet and greet’ encounters with local villagers, artisans and learned Buddhist monks.
Guests can hop on the bikes to explore the picturesque riverbanks of the Mekong River and stay fit cycling the flat paved and dirt trails while discovering, at their leisure, local village life.
Aqua Mekong passengers have the option of 8 to 15 kilometre biking routes to say hello to a crimson robed monk, photograph stilted Khmer houses and ornately embellished pagodas or,perhaps, enjoy an invitation from a new friend to dine in their nearby home. These all-terrain touring bikes are available for both adults and children.
