Private Tour: Mekong Delta Floating Market to Cai be Day Tour Including Local Lunch and Boat Ride From Ho Chi Minh

The local traditional wooden boats, vast emerald rice fields and lush back waterways; these are the things that make Cai Be such a desired destination. After driving 2-hours from Ho Chi Minh cruise the many tributaries of the Mekong, wonder through vibrant tropical fruit gardens as well as visiting home cottage industries making 'pop' rice.

At 08.00 depart for the 2-hour drive to Cai Be, deep in the Mekong Delta. The tour begins with a boat trip, discovering local trading boats followed by a visit to some home factories that produce rice paste, rice popcorn and coconut candy. Proceed to evergreen islands among the Mekong River through a large network of meandering tributaries, crisscrossed with countless arroyos. Following take a 10-minute walk through a local village and fruit gardens before coming to a preserved ‘Mandarin’ house. Built centuries ago, at least four generations of the same family have lived here. Mr. Kiet, the owner of the house will serve you an appetizing Vietnamese lunch. Take a stroll through the family’s fruit orchard before continuing to Tan Phong Island where you will take a local rowing boat through the canals before returning to Cai Be. Following head back to Ho Chi Minh City.
