Overview

See the Mekong Delta beyond the postcards. We time the day for sunrise at Cai Rang Floating Market, arriving as trading boats buzz with sellers of pineapples, noodles and coffee. Breakfast is served from a market boat so you can eat like a local. After the market, switch to a small sampan to explore quiet back canals, stop at a family rice-noodle workshop to watch the craft and taste it fresh, and—if you wish—take an easy bicycle ride along village paths to meet people where they live and work. With expressway transfers, hotel pickup, and small-group or private options, you spend less time on the road and more time experiencing the real Delta.

What to expect

  1. Cai Rang Floating Market
    3h
    We take a boat to visit Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the most famous and biggest floating markets in the Mekong Delta. From the early morning, a countless number of boats and sampans will gather here, making the whole area livelier and more stunning than ever. While the large boats are full of farm products and specialties, such as vegetables, grapefruit, coconut, banana, watermelon, dragon fruit and rambutan, small ones mainly focus on selling foods, coffee, light snacks, Vietnamese noodles, soft drinks, etc. for breakfast. It would be regretful if you could not drop by and purchase something here.
    • After that, our tour guide takes you to some traditional workshops. You have great time learning how locals make “Hu Tieu”. The talented chef – Gordon Ramsay, once exclaimed that the bowl of noodles he ate at Cai Rang Floating Market has one of the best broths he has ever tasted.
  2. My Tho
    3h
    We relax on a rowing boat and go through the mangrove palm canal to feel the real peaceful atmosphere of Mekong Delta, even know more about locals’ lifestyle when joking with friendly rowing women. Beside that is the time of enjoying the melody of South Vietnam folk music.
