Overview

Embark on a sampan and witness the vibrant trading activities of Cairang Floating Market, the largest floating market in Vietnam. Goods exchanged include fresh fruits and vegetables, such as pineapples and mangos. Experience a unique breakfast, ordering from floating restaurants and cafes which offer delicious noodle soup and strong Vietnamese coffee—a perfect combination to start your day.

We will then cruise into the jungle through small, yet complex canal systems, which provide a serene home to diverse flora and fauna. Allow yourself time to relax and meditate on this tranquil part of the trip.

Next on our trip is a visit to an organic cocoa farm. The owner’s father brought the plants back from a trip to Malaysia in 1960, introducing an extremely different crop to the region. All handmade and processed, these chocolate goods are a labour of love for this family.We will also explore a four-decade old noodle village and participate in the making of rice noodles the traditional way.

Mariah was extremely knowledgeable and always knew the best spots for a photo. The breakfast was excellent and the boat ride was fantastic. I had also booked the return trip improperly and she was very kind to help us figure out our return to HCMC. She really went above and beyond.
Excellent, a must-do

This tour was the best part of our visit to Can Tho. Edward was an amazing tour guide. Informative, friendly, funny and excellent explanations and storytelling. The pick-up by boat from our hotel was an excellent perk and the inclusion of the floating market breakfast, lots of fruit for snacks. I can’t say how much I recommend Edward and this tour. Make sure you wear sunscreen because it does get quite sunny, however the boat had shade and we were given traditional hats to protect us mostly. This is a tour that you feel finishing up that you’ve experience a lot of what Can Tho has to offer on south Vietnamese culture, and feel great for the rest of your day. Huge value for money and an experience you have to do. Especially if you get someone like Edward!
Would definitely recommend!

Our family had a great time on this tour with our guide Ngan. Ngan made her way to us, picking us up in our boat at the rear of our accommodation at Can Tho Ecolodge, which meant we didn’t have to make our way into the city so early! Ngan was extremely knowledgeable and lovely. Amazing way to see, learn and engage in the way of life of the locals who live and work on the Mekong Delta. Would definitely recommend.

It was the best experience we have in Vietnam. It is really interested to see the rice noodles methods, same for cocoa. The floating marking shows how people used to live. The guide gives a lot of information and was super nice.
