1 HO CHI MINH CITY - MY THO - CAN THO
Heading out of the town, we travel by roads to the Mekong Delta,
Vietnam's largest rice bowl. On arrival in My Tho we embark on a
boat navigating around the intricate small canals in the delta region,
which is a great way to observe the local lifestyle close-up and
catch a view dotted by many islands. The exciting excursion will
pass the lush green vegetation before arriving at the famous Unicorn
Island. Here we have opportunities to stroll around an orchard,
taste many seasonal fruits and enjoy wonderful traditional music.
The next stop of our trip is Ben Tre Province to visit some fascinating
local industries. We then meet up with our car for three hour drive
to Can Tho, the capital city of the Mekong Delta. O/N in Can Tho.

2 Can Tho – Cai Rang - Phong Dien – Ho Chi Minh
The watery world of the Mekong Delta is home to many bustling floating
markets. Today we take a boat trip exploring the vibrant floating
market of Cai Rang and Phong Dien, whose the trading way is unique;
each boat usually sells one particular item, whether it be pumpkins,
pineapples, sugar canes,…. and in order that the customer knows
where to shop, they hang that item from the highest part of the
boat. After an impressive boat trip we make our way back to Ho Chi
Minh with stop over at Vinh Trang Pagoda. The trip ends on arrival
in Ho Chi Minh.
