Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City – Cai Be – Can Tho
Morning
Depart from Ho Chi Minh City and drive through lush rice paddies to Cai Be, a peaceful town on the Mekong River. Upon arrival, you will board a traditional wooden boat.
Cruise along narrow waterways, where emerald-green orchards and stilt houses line the banks. You’ll stop at a local family workshop to see how rice paper, coconut candy, and crispy rice popcorn are made—traditional treats that have delighted generations.
Afternoon
Enjoy a delicious lunch in a charming garden house, surrounded by tropical fruit trees. Afterward, continue your boat journey deeper into the maze of canals, visiting a family orchard where you can taste fresh seasonal fruits and listen to traditional “đờn ca tài tử” folk music.
Later in the day, transfer by road to Can Tho, the capital of the Mekong Delta. Check into your riverside hotel and enjoy the evening at leisure. A walk along Ninh Kieu Wharf, with its twinkling lights and cool breeze, makes for a romantic close to the day.
Day 2: Can Tho – Cai Rang Floating Market – Ho Chi Minh City
Early Morning
Wake up early for a boat trip to the legendary Cai Rang Floating Market, the largest in the Mekong Delta. Here, hundreds of boats gather, loaded with pineapples, melons, and other produce. The market is a lively symphony of colors and sounds, and you can even enjoy breakfast on the river—tasting a steaming bowl of “hu tieu” noodles served from a vendor’s boat.
Late Morning
Continue your cruise through smaller canals, where you’ll glimpse the quiet rhythm of daily life—children rowing to school, farmers tending their orchards, and boats gliding peacefully under shady coconut palms. Visit a rice noodle workshop to learn how this local staple is crafted by hand.
Afternoon
Return to Can Tho for lunch before the drive back to Ho Chi Minh City. Along the way, enjoy the picturesque countryside, with green rice fields stretching endlessly under the southern sky. Arrive in the late afternoon, concluding your two-day journey through the heart of the Mekong Delta.
