Hochiminh: Cai Rang Floating Market & Mekong Delta 1 Day

Full day explore Cai Rang floating market, a unique and typical type of market of the Mekong Delta, only famous market that cannot be found anywhere else in Vietnam
Cai Rang floating market is renowned as one of the Mekong Delta's most prominent and expansive floating markets. It stands out from other regional markets due to its spontaneous nature. As the day begins, many boats and sampans gather here, infusing the entire area with a vibrant and magnificent atmosphere. Visiting this market offers a unique opportunity to delve into the agricultural lifestyle of the locals and witness firsthand their direct boat-to-boat trading of goods.

At 05:00, the tour guide will pick you up from your hotel. A light breakfast will be provided in a private car. During the journey to the Mekong Delta, you will be treated to picturesque views of endless green or yellow rice fields lining both sides of the road.

After approximately three hours of driving from Saigon, we will arrive at Cai Rang Floating Market in Can Tho City. Here, we will embark on a private boat to explore the bustling Cai Rang Floating Market, which is renowned as one of the largest and most famous markets in the Mekong Delta. The market comes alive in the early morning as numerous boats and sampans gather, creating a lively and splendid ambiance. While the larger boats are laden with agricultural products and specialties such as vegetables, grapefruits, coconuts, bananas, watermelons, dragon fruits, and rambutans, the smaller boats primarily focus on selling breakfast items like food, coffee, snacks, and Vietnamese noodles, as well as soft drinks. It would be a missed opportunity if you didn't take the chance to stop by and make some purchases here.

Subsequently, our tour guide will accompany you to visit some traditional workshops. You will have the opportunity to witness the process of making Hu Tieu, a local specialty. It is worth mentioning that the renowned chef, Gordon Ramsay, once praised the broth of the vermicelli he tasted at Cai Rang floating market as the best he had ever experienced.

At 11:00, we will depart from Can Tho city and head to My Tho and Ben Tre. Take a boat trip to the picturesque UNICORN ISLAND in Bến Tre, and a mesmerizing performance of traditional Vietnamese folk songs accompanied by traditional instruments. You'll also have the opportunity to indulge in a refreshing tropical fruit salad.

Experience the tranquility of the Mekong Delta with a serene sampan rowboat ride along a full-water palm tree creek, or opt for a thrilling motorboat ride. Explore a coconut tree village on a buggy, golf cart, or tuk-tuk, or embark on a bicycle ride along a beaten track in the village.
