A Can Tho Trip to the Fullest in 2-Day

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. Leave the crowds and tourist boats behind and enjoy a peaceful sampan ride through the hidden canals of Can Tho, Mekong Delta. Slow down and feel the calm of the Mekong as you drift past lush greenery and quiet waterways — a serene experience you will not find on the main river. 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. The sampan continues to an organic cacao farm, where your guide will share interesting stories about cacao, Mr. Cacao, and how to make chocolate, wine, and cosmetics. Enjoy a glass of cacao milk (included). Around 9:30 AM, get in the car in Can Tho and depart for Son islet to explore local life and unique community-based tourism. Upon arrival, take a short local boat ride across the Mekong River to Son Islet, a peaceful island known for its fruit gardens and authentic Mekong lifestyle. Visit a seasonal fruit garden, enjoy fresh tropical fruits, and learn about local farming traditions from the gardeners. Continue to the famous Flying Snakehead Fish show, where local farmers demonstrate the unique fish-jumping performance that has become a symbol of Son Islet. Visit a local family's garden to experience the island's famous duck massage and gain insight into daily life on this green Mekong island. Take the boat back to the mainland. + The authentic lunch is included on tour.
