Itinerary
Don't forget, we'll pick you up at your hotel bright and early at 4:30 AM and leave for Can Tho City. It takes approximately 3 hours to get to the City. The Cai Rang Floating Market is bustling from sunrise until around 9 AM, and that's when we'll head there by boat, about a 30-minute ride. You'll have the chance to hop on a merchant boat and check out all the colorful fruits like mangoes, rambutans, longans, and the "King of fruit" durian. While on the boat, you'll taste some delicious street foods like Pho, Bun Rieu, Com Tam, and Hu Tieu. We'll also see how noodles and rice paper "Banh Trang" are made and take a leisurely walk around the countryside. Of course, we can't miss out on trying tropical fruits, sipping hot tea, and going on a fun fishing trip. After that, we'll head to Vinh Long - Cai Be.
Join our cooking class and have lunch at a homestay in Tan Phong Islet in Vinh Long Province. Immerse yourself in the local culture by pedaling a bicycle, kayaking, and participating in spiritual activities that are part of the South Vietnam cultural heritage. We will walk along the canal bank to visit local specialties in the Mekong, such as Pop Rice Cake, Coconut Candy, and Tropical Rice Wine. Afterward, we will return to the boat to explore the Kingdom of Vinh Long Red Pottery, representing the Mekong Delta's traditional aesthetic and culture. Next, we'll stop at a local village for a rowing boat sampan ride, which will take you deeper into the countryside through smaller canals lined with mangrove trees and various fruits. You'll also have the chance to listen to local artists perform music and taste seasonal fruits in the Mekong Delta in Cai Be. The tour will conclude with a drop-off at your hotel around 5:00 PM.

Great guide and experience. Our guide spoke excellent English and gave us a very memorable experience. I truly loved the trip.
Thank you for reaching out and providing us with your valuable feedback. We hope you had a fantastic experience with Hana Tourist and looking forward to seeing you again.
Good tour - we had booked for the group of 10 people and ended up with a private tour instead. It was well organised and we enjoyed it.
That sounds like a great surprise! A private tour for the price of a group one is definitely a win—more personal attention and flexibility. Glad to hear it was well organized and enjoyable!
We went with Tri, who speaks perfect English and was very attentive all the time. It was a private tour and Tri made sure everything was as genuine as possible. The children really enjoyed the workshops. The tour of the Mekong Delta was excellent
¡Mil gracias por tu hermoso comentario! 😊 Qué alegría saber que disfrutaron tanto del tour con Tri — él realmente se esfuerza por ofrecer una experiencia auténtica y personalizada, ¡y es genial que haya conectado tan bien con toda la familia! Nos encanta saber que los niños se divirtieron en los talleres y que el recorrido por el delta del Mekong fue excelente. 🌿 Gracias por confiar en nosotros para su aventura los esperamos con los brazos abiertos para futuras experiencias en Vietnam!
Amazing trip, we had a few initial hiccups in the morning but thats due to no ones fault. The communication was clear and consise. We did a private tour so had Tri’s(our guide) full attention. He went above and beyond to make the day a success. I would highly recommend them.

Our tour guide name was Linda, it was a very pleasant experience. She was very nice and helpful on all topics. Also very funny and brightens up the mood. Sometimes it was a bit hard to understand but she will gladly repeat the sentence. Overall the tour was very fun we went to a lot of different places. The only down side to it was that it started at 4 am in the morning. We were all pretty tired. ^^
