The tour begins with a visit to Cai Be floating market. Then, a rowing boat will take you deeper into the countryside along smaller canals, allowing you to enjoy some peaceful moments. We'll return to our boat to cross one of the longest rivers in the world, the Mekong River and arrive at An Bình Island. Travel on a handmade canal to Ut Trinh's home for lunch. After lunch, you can walk around the orchard and enjoy some tea while listening to traditional music in an ancient house.
Take a walk in the local village to visit a workshop and see how rice paper, coconut candy and pop-rice are made. Enjoy some sweets with a cup of hot tea.
