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.

5.00Enjoyed the whole experience! Breakfast on the floating market was delicious and we loved seeing all the different boats selling their wares. We even got to climb onto one of the boats and see how they live aboard. The noodle factory was a hands on experience and very interesting. We were able to take part in some of the steps in cooking, drying and cutting the noodles. Then we visited the cacao garden and were shown the steps in making chocolate. The iced chocolate drink was so good we had two! This is definitely a tour I would recommend you do when you visit Mekong Delta. Our guide Hannah was wonderful and we learned a lot about local life on the river.
Best trip of our holiday!
