Description
It would be a miss if visiting Vietnam without having a stop at Mekong Delta, the agricultural hub of the Southern of Vietnam with rice fields, coconut palms, fruit orchards and sugarcane groves.
Explore Cai Be Floating Market on a private day tour from Saigon. Visit the market, take a boat trip, and enjoy a cooking class. Choose to add a biking tour and cooking class to your day, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery.
Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Saigon and drive for 2 hours to reach Cai Be Floating Market. Visit the typical local wet market and take a boat to the floating market, which is originally a spontaneous market from local people due to their real demand, not for tourism.
Explore Tan Phong islet, known as a green pearl land in the middle of Tien river. Visit traditional workshops and learn how locals make coconut candy, crispy rice popcorn, rice paper, and honey bee farm. Walk through orchard gardens to the beautiful lotus tea house for the real South West folk music.
Next, relax on a rowing boat and go through the apple mangrove canal for the typical peaceful landscape of Mekong Delta. Learn more about locals’ lifestyle when joking with very friendly rowers.
Choose to add a biking and cooking class to your day. Learn how locals prepare traditional meals while joining a cooking class. Enjoy the lunch you prepared and relax on comfortable hammocks under the shadow of tropical fruit trees.
Finally, bike through car-free village roads with tropical fruits and bonsai gardens on both sides. Visit some handicraft workshops on the biking road to feel more about the real Mekong atmosphere.
After having lunch and relaxing at the restaurant, return to Saigon and finish the Cai Be Floating Market 1 Day.
