We had an amzazing day with our guide Huong! She really kept it fun and joyful. It is a very full day of many activities like boat rides, kajaking, cycling, listening to traditional music, seeing how coconut products are prepared and a little bit of cooking (better book a full cooking class if that is your focus) we really liked it and would do it again!

Full description

Get a feel for the local way of life on the Mekong Delta on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Cai Be. Enjoy a boat ride and a cooking class before lunch. After, either paddle a kayak or ride a bike to explore the area further.

Around 8:00AM, start with pickup at your central hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and drive to Cai Be. Upon arrival, take some time to explore the town on foot and then board a motorized boat to cruise along the Mekong river to admire the serene scenery.

Continue on a small sampan boat to paddle along the small canals and see the locals going about their day. The boat ride offers a unique perspective of the area, and you will see firsthand how locals live and work on the river.

The boat takes you to the region’s fruit orchards where you can try some fresh fruits and enjoy the local music performed by the villagers. Next, arrive at a local restaurant and attend a cooking class to prepare some traditional dishes using fresh ingredients sourced from the region for lunch.

After lunch, take a rest and relax before hitting the water by using kayaks for a leisurely paddle down the Mekong river. Take your time and soak up the peaceful surroundings.

Alternatively, if you don't want to go kayaking, hop on a bike and explore the countryside on two wheels. The bike ride is a great way to get up close and personal with the area’s rural way of life.

Once you have kayaked or biked, travel back to Ho Chi Minh City with your memories of this charming town in the Mekong Delta. Arrive approximately at 6:00PM
