Overview

This tour is specially arranged for those who would like to visit Mekong Delta deeply. Just only a day tour, you will explore the most famous, biggest floating market in Can Tho, which is well – known as the capital of the Southwest. The sound of the market cut through the silence of river; a buzz of excited chattering, hum from dozens of engines, sound of vendors shouting across water to each other. Furthermore, you will get more experienced hand – rowed sampan through narrow canals around island, enjoy lush tropical fruits, honey tea in a garden, learn process of making coconut candy and ride on the back of a xe loi, a local motorized cart, bouncing along back paths.
