Welcome to Vietnam - Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City
Upon your arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), our guide will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in the downtown area. After checking in, you will have free time to explore the city center and get acquainted with the vibrant energy of this dynamic city.
In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City.
Visit Mekong Delta
8:00 AM: After breakfast, our guide will pick you up at your hotel. Today, we'll leave the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City and head to the serene Mekong Delta.
The tour begins with a visit to the Cai Be floating market. Next, we'll travel to Tan Phong Island for biking or walking along village paths. You'll have a wonderful opportunity to witness the daily lives of the local people, visit orchards, schools, traditional houses, and even see the ancestral methods of fruit picking in the Mekong Delta. Along the way, we'll make stops to observe how locals make rice paper for spring rolls, sew coconut leaves for cottage roofs, and weave dried water hyacinth into various products like baskets, bags, rings and hats - perfect gifts for your friends and family. You'll be fully immersed in the lush green gardens and trees as we navigate the small canals deeper into the countryside.
Lunch will be served at either Ba Kiet or Muoi Huong. Afterward, we'll board our boat to cross one of the world's longest rivers - the Mekong River and arrive at An Binh Island.
We’ll travel along the handmade Muong Lo canal to check in at Ut Trinh homestay (or another homestay on An Binh Island). You'll have time to freshen up before cooking some special dishes with the local family members. Enjoy your traditional meal and the peaceful atmosphere here.
Explore Unique Mekong
Enjoy your breakfast at the homestay. After checking out, take a walk along the village to soak in the fresh morning air and visit local workshops where you can see the process of making rice paper, coconut candy, and popcorn. Savor some sweets with a cup of hot tea. The next stop will be the brick kilns, where you can observe how the locals create beautiful pottery from clay. The boat will then cruise along the floating village, allowing you to see how catfish are farmed on the Mekong River.
Return to the port and visit Vinh Long local market, where you can take great photos of fish, shrimp, prawns, crabs, snakes, rice-field rats, tropical fruits, and vegetables. Finally, head to Can Tho. Overnight in Can Tho.
Visit Floating Market, Drive directly to the airport in Ho Chi Minh City Airport for next flight
Around 5:30 AM: In the early morning, our guide will accompany you to depart for Cai Rang floating market. Here, locals buy and sell a variety of fruits and vegetables from boats of all sizes, making it one of the most original and bustling places in the region. After experiencing many exciting days traveling in Vietnam, you'll definitely want to rise early one day to witness this charming local market, adding a perfect touch to your Vietnam holiday.
The boat trip provides a valuable chance to observe the unique "advertisement" method of local businesses known as "Cây Bẹo." Sellers tie their goods to a tall pole so buyers can see from a distance what they are selling. You'll sit on a local trading boat, witness the bustling market activities, and explore the local life in stilt houses along the river.
After the trip, we'll return to the hotel for breakfast and relaxation. Then, you'll be transferred back to Ho Chi Minh City. On the way, we'll visit Vinh Trang Pagoda. Lunch will be at a local restaurant.
