Early Morning Mekong Adventure – With French-Speaking Guide

At 5:30 AM, your French-speaking guide will meet you in the center of Can Tho at the meeting point: “ 9 Châu Văn Liêm, P. Tân An, Q. Ninh Kiều, Cần Thơ City “. From there, you’ll take a short walk to the boat station to board a traditional wooden sampan — an authentic small boat that will carry you on your Mekong adventure.

As the boat glides through the river at dawn, you’ll witness the breathtaking sunrise casting golden light over the water — a magical moment not to be missed. Soon after, you’ll arrive at Cai Rang Floating Market, the largest and liveliest market in the Mekong Delta. Your guide will explain the fascinating history of this unique river-based trading hub and its importance to local life.

Enjoy a delicious Vietnamese breakfast on the boat — choose between a steaming bowl of noodle soup, a warm Bánh Mì, or soft Bánh Bao, just like the locals.

We then head deeper into the Delta on a traditional boat to experience the authentic daily life of the Mekong people. Along the way, enjoy freshly cut pineapple right on the river and feel the rhythm of life on the water.

Next, explore a family-run rice noodle workshop. Learn how locals turn rice into paper, then into noodles, using age-old methods passed down through generations.

Cruising through narrow canals lined with water coconut and mangrove trees, you’ll discover the serene beauty of the Delta’s natural landscape. This peaceful part of the journey offers a chance to relax and enjoy nature at its purest.

Step ashore to walk through charming countryside villages, where you’ll meet welcoming locals, see traditional homes, and wander paths shaded by tropical trees. It’s a genuine window into the daily life and quiet beauty of rural Vietnam.

To end the tour, visit a unique organic cacao farm. Your guide will share the story of Mr. Cacao and explain how chocolate, wine, and cosmetics are made from the cacao fruit. Sip on creamy cacao milk and taste homemade cacao wine — a sweet and surprising way to finish your experience.

The tour ends around 11:30 AM, though exact timing may vary slightly with the river’s tide. Either way, we promise a journey full of memories and meaningful moments.
