What To Expect
Discover the real Mekong Delta — beyond the crowds. A unique tour in Can Tho combining the famous Cai Rang Floating Market with the untouched Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve. Authentic, peaceful, and full of local life. At 5:45 AM, we pick you up at your hotel in Can Tho by car and take you to the boat station, where you’ll board a traditional wooden sampan — the beginning of your Mekong journey. ⸻ Visit Local Market Before heading to the river, you’ll stop by a small morning market where locals buy fresh produce, flowers, and breakfast food. It’s an authentic glimpse of daily Mekong life before the city wakes up.
Cai Rang Floating Market
Sunrise on the Mekong River Around 6:00 AM, the river is quiet and the sky begins to glow. As the sun rises over the water, you’ll enjoy one of the calmest and most beautiful moments of the day. ⸻ Cai Rang Floating Market When the river gets busier, you arrive at the famous floating market, where boats sell fruits and vegetables right on the water. Here, you’ll enjoy a hot bowl of noodle soup on the boat — with a vegetarian option available. ⸻ Life on the River You’ll switch to a smaller sampan to explore deeper. Fresh pineapple will be cut and served right on the river. Your guide shares stories about how local people live, trade, and raise their families on the water.

5.00From collecting us in Ho Chi Minh to a street food tour (my daughter’s trip highlight!) and the floating market boat tour (even transport to the airport) Mr Nick made sure we had the best of times! Can Tho was our favorite part of our trip. Vy and Daisy were amazing guides and we cannot wait to return! Thank you is not a big enough word!!!
Great trip
