Start the day by leaving the hustle and bustle of Saigon for the peace and tranquility of the Mekong River Delta. The villages and countryside are wonderful destinations for learning about the local culture because they have not experienced as much tourism as other areas.
The first stop will be at a countryside market where you can interact with locals and try some local snacks. Furthermore, it's the ideal time to stock up on fresh tropical fruit for the trip.
Enjoy a peaceful ferry ride crossing the Vam Co River to a local family business making mats, which have traditionally been used in Vietnamese daily life for centuries.
Later, head to Tan Phuoc Tay village where we will join an adventurous bike or scooter ride with our driver through small hamlets surrounded by breathtaking paddy fields, vegetable farms, and dragon fruit fields. This is also a good opportunity for photo lovers.
Lunch at a restaurant serving local specialties.
Transfer to My Tho City and enjoy a boat trip along the Mekong River, exploring the small towns, tropical fruit farms, and coconut plantations dotted around the countryside.
Wrap up our great day with a relaxed sampan trip on Mekong’s picturesque canal. Tourists can unwind and enjoy a pleasant atmosphere thanks to the serenity and tranquility of the waterways.
After a short walk-through of the local orchard, head to Can Tho city.
Check-in at the hotel and time for leisure.
Kickstart at 5.30 am with a boat excursion to Phong Dien Retail Floating Market, which is renowned as a vibrant and colorful market in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.
Then sail into the zig-zag canal to see people’s lively activities in a dense network of 50.000km of waterways.
The morning sunshine will steer our way toward the biggest wholesale floating market named Cai Rang, take a sip of a morning coffee, experience some local fruits right on the board, and indulge in the exciting atmosphere of the vendors.
Return to the hotel for breakfast, check out, say goodbye to Can Tho city, pass its cable-stayed bridge, and head to Cai Be.

I had a great time on my tour of the Mekong River Delta. The peaceful ferry ride across the Vam Co River was a great way to start the trip and it was nice to take in the beautiful scenery. The visit to Tan Phuoc Tay village was an eye-opening experience and I enjoyed learning about the local way of life. The boat trip along the Mekong River was a real highlight of the trip and the views of the river and the surrounding landscape were stunning. The Phong Dien Retail Floating Market was a great cultural experience and it was fun to see the various stalls and sample some of the local food. The floating market named Cai Rang was another amazing experience and I enjoyed exploring the market and seeing the local way of life. Overall, it was a great trip and I would highly recommend it.
