Tour Detail
Cai Be Floating Market & Mekong Delta: An Authentic 1-Day Escape
If you are looking to see the Mekong Delta without the massive crowds, this is the trip for you. While most tour companies head to the busy hubs of My Tho and Ben Tre, we take you a bit further to Cai Be—a hidden gem that offers a much more peaceful and "untouched" vibe.
A quick note for the real explorers: Modern bridges and better roads mean the Cai Be floating market isn’t as crowded with boats as it used to be. But that’s actually why we love it! Because it's less "active," it’s also much less touristy. You get to see the local river life exactly as it is today, far away from the typical tour bus routes.
Tour Highlights: Why You’ll Love This Trip
✪ Peaceful River Life: Cruise through the calm waters of the Mekong and witness the unique charm of the Cai Be floating market without the swarm of other tour boats.
✪ Hidden Island Gems: Explore lush, green islands and wander through local fruit orchards where you can taste the freshest seasonal picks.
✪ Traditional Craft Workshops: See how locals make iconic snacks like coconut candy, crispy puffed rice, and rice paper. It’s hands-on and totally fascinating. ( Note: Some visitors may find this experience a bit touristy; however, it still offers valuable insight into local activities and daily life.)
Rowing Through Canals: Hop into a traditional hand-rowed sampan boat. We’ll glide through small, quiet canals shaded by water coconut trees—this is the ultimate "Mekong moment."
Cycle Like a Local: Take a relaxing bike ride (or a peaceful stroll) along shady village paths to see the local houses and gardens up close.
Authentic Delta Flavors: Enjoy a delicious, home-cooked Vietnamese lunch in a beautiful garden setting or an ancient local house.
Your 1-Day Itinerary
7:00 to 7:30 AM – HCMC Departure: We’ll pick you up from your hotel and head out of the city toward the green landscapes of the Mekong Delta.
10:00 AM – The River Journey Begins: Arrive in Cai Be and board our private boat. We’ll cruise past the floating market to see how locals trade goods right from their boats.
Crafts & Culture: We’ll stop at local family-run workshops. You’ll get to see the making of traditional treats and, of course, try some for yourself!
The Delta Experience: We’ll switch to a small rowing boat to navigate the narrow, winding canals. It’s quiet, green, and incredibly relaxing.
Lunch & Relax: Savor a traditional Mekong lunch featuring local specialties. Afterward, take a walk or a bike ride through the village to meet the friendly locals.
3:30 to 4:00 PM PM – Heading Home: We’ll board the boat one last time to head back to the pier.
6:30 PM – Return to HCMC: We’ll drop you back at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, just in time for dinner.
