Highlights
- Cai Be - You will be met at your arrival port by your English-speaking guide, with a name sign and smile, they will take you to the incredible Mekong Delta in your private, air-conditioned vehicle. Take in the countless scenes of the surrounding countryside and the agricultural way of life of the locals.

A private ‘sampan’ (traditional motorised boat) will be waiting for you as we arrive at Cai Be. Prepare to embark on an unforgettable exploration of a fascinating waterway.
-
Cai Be - Explore Tan Phong Island
Swap your sampan for rowing boats as we venture into the smaller, more secluded canals of the delta. The quieter canals are the perfect place to witness a slower pace of life as we pass under tropical canopies and paddle the serene water. We’ll make our way to dry land next as we explore the island of Tan Phong and enjoy distinctive South-West Vietnamese music with a live performance. Bikes will be provided if you wish to explore this beautiful island further! -
Cai Be - Enjoy a Traditional Lunch With a Local Family
Along the way, we will visit local families and learn how they use the land to craft everything from delicate rice paper to the sturdy roofs of their homes. The families will treat us to Mekong delicacies for lunch which include freshly made spring rolls, fried pumpkin flower, and beautifully braised pork soaked in coconut juice. Before we make our way back to port we’ll visit Cao Dai Temple, uncovering native religious beliefs and having a chance to admire the art on the walls of the temple. Your guide will then take you back to port in plenty of time for your cruise departure!

Amazing and perfect day - What an absolutely amazing day! Nghia (Rohan) was wonderful! We had THE MOST engaging conversations all day and feel like we have a new family member. The delta trip was awesome. Well planned with room for flexibility. Be aware the floating market is no longer functioning and more like a museum market but that tiny canal is not too be missed. We thoroughly enjoyed get day. The second boat you get into can be awkward depending on your mobility. I am not small and have triple knee C replacements and was able to do IT, but barely. SO so glad we booked this tour privately instead of a hide group thing!!!!!
