Discover the charm of Cai Be on this immersive
Mekong Delta experience. Cruise through tranquil waterways, explore vibrant
tropical gardens, and learn about local industries. Visit a family’s home for a
memorable traditional lunch, making for a perfect end to a wonderful day in the
Delta.
Your adventure begins at 08:00 as you leave the
bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City behind and journey for 2 hours to the
heart of the Mekong Delta.
Once you arrive in Cai Be, hop on a private boat
and cruise along the serene river, savoring fresh, locally grown fruit and
enjoying the cool breeze. Stop off to explore a picturesque village and wander
through lush fruit gardens, then board a sampan boat to navigate the peaceful
canals that wind through the island.
Next, learn about the rich culture of the Delta
by visiting local artisans and observing traditional handicraft techniques.
After this cultural immersion, head to the
bustling riverfront area, where small boats and vibrant river commerce create
an energetic atmosphere. Visit family-run workshops producing local treats like
rice popcorn and coconut candy, before arriving at a multi-generational family
home built in the traditional ‘Mandarin’ style. Here, enjoy a home-cooked
Vietnamese meal while strolling through the family’s fruit orchard to see
seasonal fruits growing on the trees.
In the late
afternoon, board the boat back to Cai Be before returning to Ho Chi Minh City,
filled with unforgettable memories from your day in the Delta.
