Can Tho Cycling Tour & Floating Market

Itinerary

• Itinerary
  Pickup: At 5 AM, our English-speaking tour guide will pick you up from your hotel by car and transfer you to Ninh Kieu Pier to board an authentic small boat (sampan). Arrive at Cai Rang Floating Market – a must-see in Can Tho, Mekong Delta. Your guide will explain why it is an early morning floating market and how it is slowly disappearing. The experience includes the best noodle soup on the river (vegetarian option available). Find a reason to interact with the river life and enjoy fresh fruits during your tour. Visit the Mekong fish and farmers market (non-touristy) and see the Delta’s true heartbeat. It is where locals trade fresh fish, fruits, and produce in a lively, authentic setting untouched by mass tourism. You will witness real daily life, colorful scenes, and the strong sense of community that sustains the Mekong. Fresh seasonal tropical fruits are also included during the tour. Around 8:30 AM, pick up a bicycle and begin the cycling tour. Let’s bike like an insider and take a deep ride into Can Tho. Weave through untouched peaceful villages, pedal along canals and countryside roads, and pass by hidden towns and local schools as well. Continue cycling to a local ferryboat to cross to the other side of the Mekong River, where authentic local life and daily activities unfold — a perfect place to bike back to "THE REAL MEKONG". Your guide will explain more about local life and agriculture in the Mekong region. Visit a local countryside market along the cycling route, where you can experience daily life like a local in the Mekong Delta. Pedal through riverside villages and over rustic bridges to admire stilt houses lining the small canals — an iconic image of the Mekong Delta from the past. End of the biking tour. You will be transferred back to your hotel or meeting point by car/taxi around 11:30 AM (depending on your selected tour option).
