Start time: 04:00 am 

4:00 am: Departure from your hotel and take about 3 hours drive to Can Tho city. 

7:00 am: Arrival Ninh Kieu pier, start your boat trip on Hau river to Cai Rang Floating market - A biggest floating market beginning from sunrise to late morning but it is busiest from 8 to 10 am. The shops and stalls at the market are local boats of different sizes. The main items sold are farm products and specialties of Cai Rang Town and neighboring areas. Wholesale is the main form of trading in this market. What you need to do here is to sit back on your boat, enjoy the morning coffee served by the local coffee boat and watch the whole world of trading going on from boats to boats. As your boat edges through the market, you will be surely driven back to the yester-centuries by the sound of bargaining, rowing, motoring mixed with the sound made from the coffee boats, meat boats, grocery boats, ice boats… your breakfast today as local style with a bowl of noodle soup. Saying goodbye Cai Rang floating market, your car will be awaiting to drive you to My Tho. 

Upon arrival in My Tho, we’ll embark on a scenic boat trip along the Mekong River, where you can observe floating houses and fish cages along the waterways.

Next, the boat takes us through a small canal, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling town. We’ll disembark at a coconut island in Ben Tre and take a leisurely walk around the village. Here, you’ll visit a local family home to enjoy tropical fruit, sample honey tea and honey wine, and listen to traditional Vietnamese folk music performed by the villagers.

We’ll also stop by a coconut candy workshop to see how the candy is made and explore various handicrafts created from coconuts.

Take your time capturing photos and soaking in the natural beauty before we head to a local restaurant for lunch. Enjoy a delicious spread of special Vietnamese dishes served under the shade of the trees.

After lunch, relax and explore the village at your own pace before we travel back to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving around 5:00 PM, marking the end of a memorable day in the Mekong Delta.
