We are picked-up and head to Mekong Delta area and start our private cruise excursion on Cai Be Princess cruise. Welcome by crew team with fresh cotton towels while cruising along Cai Be floating colorful market, which is known as a wholesale floating market. The wholesalers on big boats often moor here. The buyers often take the smaller boats so they can easily find what they are looking for following the tall wooden poles which hang samples of the goods on the big boats. Here, the boat will take us among local barges full of fruits and vegetables.
Cruising further, our sampan will bring us to see some local home factories to discover traditional rice paste making, rice pop corn, coco candies, and longans drying process.
A delicious lunch will await us at a superb Indochinese villa, Le Longanier, located in a luxuriant garden by the river.

After lunch, the sampan will cruise to Dong Hoa Hiep so we can see the typical Mekong Delta rural life on the way. These evergreen islands among the Mekong River still remain unknown to many people.
