Description

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. ⸻ 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. ⸻ Traditional Rice Noodle Factory You visit a small family workshop where colorful rice noodles are made by hand. This is a working place, not a tourist shop — you’ll see the full process from steaming to drying and cutting. ⸻ Hidden Green Canals Leaving the main river, the boat glides into quiet, narrow canals lined with coconut palms and mangroves. This peaceful journey shows the Mekong Delta at its most natural and untouched. ⸻ Lung Ngoc Hoang Wetland Conservation Area About 45 minutes from Can Tho lies one of the region’s hidden treasures — a 2,800-hectare protected wetland perfect for nature lovers seeking quiet and authenticity. What You’ll Experience • Boat ride through untouched wetlands: Travel along hidden waterways covered with water hyacinths and floating plants. The forest and flooded landscape offer a rare look at the wild Mekong. • Watchtower view (25 meters high): Climb to a panoramic viewpoint with sweeping views of forest, wetlands, and seasonal rice fields. • Birdwatching: From the observatory, you may see thousands of birds flying overhead and hear their calls echo across the wetlands. • Optional nature trek (1.4 km): Walk along a quiet forest path surrounded by wildlife, or return by boat if you prefer not to trek. ⸻ Around 12:00 PM, you return to Can Tho. You experience the local market, sunrise, floating market, village life, hidden canals, forest, and nature reserve. It’s the most complete and authentic way to feel the real Mekong Delta.
