You wake up well rested to the sound of the river and get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing in the Mekong Delta. Watch the locals go about their daily work drying exotic fruits and building ships on the wooden yards.
We will board a sampan boat to Cai Rang floating market, the region’s busiest and most lively markets. Marvel at the sheer abundance of exotic fruits, vegetables and skilfully handcrafted regional products. We will pull up to the boats for talking and bargaining with the merchants.
Come back to your hotel for checking out and have lunch in the local restaurant, try “banh xeo”- a kind of cake with meat, vegetable and rice paper. Afterward, we’ll drive towards Soc Trang. We board the boat to the mangrove forest to discover and watch the birds and natural landscapes, take the leisure bike ride along the path. Finish in the afternoon and drive back to Saigon for 3 hours.
Note: The floating markets in the Mekong Delta are no tourist markets but wholesale markets where produce of the Mekong Delta like fruits and vegetables are traded. For this reason, the number of boats on the market fluctuates depending on harvesting seasons and market demand.
