Day 2:

Mekong Delta Excursion

Cai Be is a small town located by Mekong River's Lower branch. It used to be famous for its floating market. Nowadays it is getting smaller since rural transport has developed rapidly both on land and waterways. However, the town and its countryside still attract more tourists. It offers more activities to travellers: Sampan boat rowed along natural creeks, a pleasant bike ride through lush orchards, many ancient houses to visit, cottage industry to see, and local family business with small workshops.
Depart for Cai Be by air-conditioned private vehicle with a couple of hour drives on the freeways. On arriving at the dock, we board on the Princess Boat and cruise through the Cai Be floating market before going along the river. Enjoy tropical fruits, coconut milks.The boat turns on a small branch to the village where locals live mainly on cottage industries, handicraft villages, and small business belongs to local families. On the boat journey, enjoy scenic landscapes, quaint villages along the river banks. Visit one of the oldest houses with traditional Vietnamese design. Enjoy seasonal tropical fruits and meet friendly people in the villages. Have delicious lunch at a family-run small business. The boat will get back to its dock, and we return to Saigon by private air-conditioned car.
