Introduction
Make the best of the smaller waterways and take a return trip of Bassac cruise across the delta, Cai Be - Can Tho - Cai Be, departing every day. The itinerary is retracing its steps, but at different times in the day, and as part of the trip is run at night, there is always something on the way back that you did not see on the way to. A loop also makes the road transfers shorter.
