What to expect

Embark on a delightful full-day adventure in Cai Be, one of the Mekong Delta’s most vibrant and culturally rich areas. This tour takes you through scenic rivers and tranquil canals, where you'll explore lush fruit orchards, visit local cottage industries, and get hands-on with traditional cooking techniques. A visit to a local family home, where you'll learn how to make banh tieu (a sweet fried rice cake), rounds out this immersive experience in the heart of the Mekong.

 

Your day begins with a scenic drive from bustling Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful countryside of the Mekong Delta. After a 2-hour drive, arrive in the picturesque Cai Thia village, where your cultural adventure begins.

 

Visit a local family and discover the art of making banh trang, the traditional rice paper crackers beloved in Vietnamese cuisine. Watch the skilled artisans at work and learn about this ancient craft that has been passed down through generations.

 

Next, hop on a bicycle for a leisurely 7-km ride through Cai Be’s famous mango village. As you pedal through the tranquil countryside, admire the lush orchards, see traditional wooden houses, and observe the peaceful rhythms of rural life. Stop at local farms and gardens, where you can learn about the region's agricultural practices.

 

Arriving at a local home, you’ll join the family in preparing banh tieu, a sweet, crispy rice cake. This hands-on cooking experience offers an authentic taste of Mekong Delta life, and you’ll be able to savor the freshly made cakes with a cup of hot tea while chatting with your welcoming hosts.

 

After the cooking session, board a boat for a traditional Vietnamese lunch on the water, served with fresh local ingredients. Following lunch, hop onto a hand-rowed sampan boat to explore the maze of narrow canals, draped with water palms. This intimate cruise offers a unique view of the delta’s rural charm, tucked away from the usual tourist paths.

 

As you glide through the quiet waters, enjoy a delightful display of traditional Vietnamese folklore, accompanied by a tasting of the freshest tropical fruits the delta has to offer
