What you can expect

05:00 AM – Depart from Ho Chi Minh City for a scenic 3-hour journey to the Mekong Delta. As you leave the bustling city behind, the landscape gradually transforms into peaceful countryside views, with endless rice paddies, lush orchards, and charming rural life typical of southern Vietnam.

08:00 AM – Arrive in Can Tho, the vibrant capital of the Mekong Delta. Begin your day with a boat trip to the famous Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the largest and most authentic floating markets in Vietnam. Cruise along the Mekong River and observe daily life unfolding on the water—traditional stilt houses, cargo boats, and lively trading activities.

Enjoy a unique breakfast on the boat, where you can savour local specialities while gently drifting along the river. Don’t miss iconic dishes like “shaken noodles” and rich Vietnamese “braised coffee”. The lively atmosphere, friendly vendors, and sounds of the river create an unforgettable cultural experience.

Continue your journey to visit traditional workshops, where you will learn how locals make Hu Tieu (rice vermicelli). Watch the fascinating process and gain insight into this beloved Vietnamese staple. Then, enjoy freshly cut pineapple served right on the boat—sweet, juicy, and incredibly refreshing.

10:00 AM – Disembark and head to Son Islet, a peaceful community-based tourism destination in the middle of the Hau River. This charming islet is known for its greenery, warm hospitality, and authentic local lifestyle.

Start with a visit to a floating fish farm, where you can observe various fish species raised by local fishermen. Don’t miss the fun and relaxing experience of a “Koi fish foot massage”.

Take a leisurely walk around the village, home to about 80 households. Visit lush gardens, pick fresh fruits directly from the trees, and interact with friendly locals. Be sure to cross the unique “monkey bridge”, a fun symbol of Mekong Delta life.

You will also have the chance to join hands-on activities such as making traditional cakes and pop rice, or enjoy a lively snakehead fish jumping performance, a unique cultural highlight of the region.

Experience the special “Flying Menu” lunch, where each local family prepares one dish and serves it to you. This community-based concept not only offers a diverse and delicious meal but also supports and connects you with local people in a meaningful way.

12:00 PM – Enjoy lunch with local specialities on Son Islet. After this enriching cultural experience, begin your journey back to Ho Chi Minh City.

06:00 PM – Arrive back in Ho Chi Minh City. End of the tour.
