Floating market – a creative way of trading that Mekong Delta people have been originating to cope with the dense network of rivers in this region. For centuries, the main vehicle for transportation here was boat, and the floating market was born to serve the high demand for goods exchange. Gradually, it becomes the signature image of the South West’s people and landscape. Visiting Cai Rang market floating in its most beautiful and active hour is the best way to experience the culture of the Nine Dragon River Delta.

Mekong Smile Amazing tour

5.00Our tour was great, Mekong Smile agency is really good. Everything was organized so well, from the hotel pick up, skillful boatman, to the drop off. We had a wonderful time, especially because of our tour guide Chris. He was punctual, reliable and, above all, so knowledgeable in terms of all the intricacies regarding the Vietnamese customs and folk stories about the river itself. I highly recommend him for the tour, I don't think we would have gotten the same experience with anybody else. He is also very polite and he really puts so much effort into make your tour unforgettable.

5.00Sueprisingly, we were the only people (2 people) booking the Floating Market Tour in the morning. The booking was easy via the website. Our guide Hien picked us up directly in the hotel lobby at 6am and we jumped on the boat right next to the location of the night market. Our breakfast on the floating market was great, we also stopped by a pinapple vendor on another boat and had a look inside. Further stops were a traditional noodle factory, cocoa farm and fruit farm. Hien is a very friendly, attentive and pleasant guide. Great communication ahead also via whatsapp. We felt very welcomed to have the tour with him as guide and would 100% recommend.

5.00My experience on this tour with Logan was such a memorable and great experience. I loved every second of the tour from the kind communities on the floating markets to the delicious fruits. Logan and the boat driver (Dat) took great care of us and paid attention to every detail. If you are visiting Can Tho, do this experience and buy this private tour because it’s such a unique experience that helps the local communities!

5.00We booked a private floating market tour with Mekong Smile via WhatsApp, and it was a great experience from start to finish. I did this tour together with my 4-year-old son, and everything felt very safe and well organized. We were picked up from our hotel, Legacy Mekong, at 6:00 AM. Life vests were provided on the boat, which was reassuring, especially when traveling with a child. After about a 45-minute boat ride, we arrived at the floating market. Our guide, Thinh, was excellent. His English was very good, and he explained a lot along the way while showing us daily life on the river. At the market, we enjoyed coffee and breakfast, which was a lovely way to experience the atmosphere. After that, we visited a local noodle shop and stopped by a local family to try some fruit. Thinh was very respectful, kind, and especially helpful with my son, which I truly appreciated. Overall, this was a memorable and authentic experience. I would definitely recommend Mekong Smile Tours, especially for families with young children.
