We depart at 8:00am and head south to the river town of Cai Be, a rural district of Tien Giang province in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. Arriving at around 10:30am, we board our motorized boat to journey through Cai Be floating market. Here, we will experience how life functions on the delta, as we view the intricacies of commerce – how merchants purchase products from local farmers. During our cruise the town’s secluded canals, we will stop at some local factories to see locals making pop rice cakes, rice paper cakes, coconut candies and products from coconut trees. We also enjoy sampan ride and pedal down narrow natural waterways. Stopping at a local home to try seasonal fruits (such as longan, pineapple, watermelon, rambutan, papaya, jackfruit etc…). Continue walking through the village to get back to our boat which is waiting to bring us to another local house for lunch served with many Vietnamese’s delicious dishes.
We board the boat again to keep on to the quay in Vinh Long province. We will transfer by car to CanTho, the 4th largest city in Vietnam and the largest city in the Mekong Delta.

Late afternoon, we hike up to the sacred Sam Mountain with its panoramic view over the vast plains into Cambodia. Our guide will tell you the history of VinhTe canal which connected HaTien to ChauDoc. This canal brings fresh water from the Bassac river into the immense delta area, so it plays an important role as a border canal between Vietnam and Cambodia. Descending down Sam mountain, we will see the famous Lady Chua Xu Temple (1820) and Thoai Ngoc Hau tomb. Thoai Ngoc Hau was a Vietnamese military administrator of the Nguyễn dynasty who conducted the digging of ThoaiHa (1818) and VinhTe canal (1819).
