Overview

Step into the heart of the Mekong Delta with a private journey to Cai Be. Witness the historical charm of the Tien River’s former floating market before discovering the 100-year-old Ut Kiet ancient house, a true architectural gem. This tour goes beyond sightseeing, offering a deep dive into local life: learn the secrets of making rice paper, crispy popcorn, and coconut candy at family-run workshops. Relax as you glide through shady canals on a hand-rowed sampan, savor tropical fruits accompanied by traditional folk music, and enjoy a rustic Vietnamese lunch at a peaceful island farmstay.
