Depart Ho Chi Minh City at 5:00 AM and relax on the 2.5-hour drive to Can Tho in the Mekong Delta. Along the way, we can stop at a local restaurant for breakfast if needed, or enjoy breakfast directly at the Cai Rang Floating Market. Arriving around 8:00 AM, explore the vibrant Cai Rang Floating Market, the busiest in the region. Watch the lively trading as vendors sell fresh produce straight from their boats and experience the authentic atmosphere of river life. Cruise through the waterways to fully immerse yourself in the market’s hustle and bustle. Then, learn how traditional Vietnamese vermicelli soup is made before visiting a local fruit garden. Enjoy fresh seasonal fruits, and if you wish, pick and purchase your favorites straight from the orchard.

After exploring the market, continue to My Tho, where you’ll board a traditional boat for a scenic cruise along the Mekong River. Pass by the Turtle, Dragon, and Phoenix Islets before arriving at Unicorn Islet. Take in the lush greenery and vibrant river life as you travel. Continue your journey on a traditional sampan, gliding through narrow canals shaded by coconut palms. This close-up experience offers a true glimpse into the Delta’s unique ecosystem and daily life. Visit a bee farm to enjoy honey tea, sample fresh tropical fruits, and listen to traditional village music. Learn more about local culture before enjoying a Vietnamese lunch (vegan options available). After lunch, relax on the drive back to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving at around 4:45 PM. Drop-off at your hotel is included.
