Day 1: Ho Chi Minh city –Vinh Long- Can Tho ( L )
We are pick-up at the hotel then travel to Vinh Long town where we have a stop at the local market. Here we can experience as well as have nice photos of fish, shrimps, prawns, crabs, snakes, rice field rats, tropical fruits, vegetables…. After that, we take the boat to visit the brick kilns where we can see how the local people create beautiful potteries from clay. Then, come to visit the orchard & traditional house: enjoy some kinds of fruits and tea when listening to the traditional music at a local home.
The rowing boat continues on taking us deeper into the countryside on smaller canals so we can enjoy the peaceful time. It is so interesting to see traditional houses made of wood and palm tree leaves and see some activities of the local farmers with an opportunity to make contacts with them and see how they catch fish or pick up fruits by ancestral ways in Mekong Delta…
One more thing to do on this trip is biking! It will be so amazing to bike on village paths to see the local farms, houses, « monkey » bridge, real life… The cruise transfers us back to Vinhlong city where we take our own vehicle to Can Tho City, the heart of Mekong Delta.
Overnight in Can Tho city.
Day 2: Can Tho – Cai Rang Floating Market – Ho Chi Minh (B)
Early morning today, we will take the boat trip to visit the famous Cai Rang floating market with the busy sense right at the time. This is a biggest floating market in Mekong Delta where we can see the daily life and local people selling their products on boats.
We head back to Ho Chi Minh city and tour ends in the lobby of the hotel.
