Get a glimpse into the unique and fascinating river life of the Mekong Delta on this day trip that includes a floating market, visiting local workshops and sampling the edible produce; being serenaded by locals and lunching on a local delicacy.
Pick up the port and will take about two-hour ride from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta.
Upon arrival, we will take a boat cruise along the Ham Luong River (a branch of the Mekong) and stop off at various local workplaces to give you a picture of how the local economy works. Highlights of the work place stop-offs include viewing a Traditional Brick kiln where bricks are still painstakingly made by hand and fueled by rice husk - an agricultural waste; a coconut processing workshop where you can sample fresh coconut and see how every single part of this versatile nut is turned into food and other products and a mat-weaving house where straw mats are woven using a hand loom.
The boat will then stop at a quiet village where you can have a short walk to experience real Delta village life, before boarding your “xe loi” (a kind of motorized rickshaw) or cycling around the village amongst ravishing rice fields, fruit orchards and vegetable plots.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
The tour will be by aboard a traditional sampan boat for a relaxing trip along narrow canals. Then the boat will return you to the pier and you’ll travel back to Ho Chi Minh city. Go back to the cruise.
