- Viet Fun Travel - Công Ty TNHH Du Lịch Việt Vui - At 5:00 am, depart from Ho Chi Minh City for a 3-hour drive to the Mekong Delta. As the bustling city fades away, the scenery transforms into picturesque rice paddies and beautiful orchards lining the road.
- Cai Rang Floating Market - At 8:00 am, arrive in Can Tho city, the capital of the Southwest, and begin the day with a visit to Cai Rang Floating Market. While crossing the Mekong River, observe the daily activities of locals on the riverbanks, see traditional-style houses, beautiful orchards, busy ship-building yards, and bustling markets where locals make their livelihood.
- Can Tho - Enjoy breakfast and coffee at the floating market. It’s a wonderful experience to savor a delicious countryside breakfast while feeling the gentle sway of the boat with each wave. Afterward, the tour guide will take you to traditional workshops where you can learn how locals make “Hu Tieu” (rice vermicelli). These noodles are soft, flat, slippery, and slightly chewy. Then, the boat will take you to another spot to enjoy fresh and delicious pineapple, peeled on the spot for you to savor right on the boat.
- My Tho - At 10:00 am, after visiting the colorful floating market, check out and disembark to explore My Tho - Ben Tre Province. At 11:30 pm, upon arrival in My Tho City, embark on a motorboat for a leisurely cruise on the Mekong River to Ben Tre Province, known as the coconut kingdom.
- Ben Tre - Hop on a horse cart or Lambro motor-tricycle for a special lunch, once the iconic vehicle and main means of transportation in South Vietnam dating back to the 1960s. At 12:30 pm, enjoy lunch at a restaurant with dishes like deep-fried elephant ear fish, sticky rice ball, and hot pot. After lunch, relax on hammocks or cycle around the village to experience local life. Board the motorboat again to visit a coconut candy workshop, learn how to make the candy, and sample the sweet treats. Next, visit a bee farm to sip delicious honey tea with kumquat, made from honey collected by thousands of bees from longan flowers. Take a rowboat through the hidden maze of small water palm tree-draped canals.

This tour is designed for those eager to deeply explore the Mekong Delta. In just one day, participants will visit the renowned and largest floating market in Can Tho, known as the capital of the Southwest. The market’s lively sounds pierce the river’s tranquility: excited chatter, the hum of numerous engines, and vendors calling out to each other across the water. Additionally, guests will experience hand-rowed sampans navigating narrow canals around the island, savor lush tropical fruits, and enjoy honey tea in a garden. They will also learn the process of making coconut candy and ride on the back of a xe loi, a local motorized cart, bouncing along back paths.
