At 7.30 am, you will be picked up at the hotel and transferred to Cai Be. Our private cruise will start with the small but quaint Cai Be floating market. Then, an optional stop can be made at local workshops where you can see how rice paste, coconut candy and pop-rice, pop-corn are made. It is so interesting to visit the handicraft village, learning how they make some special products: making rice-net for spring-rolls, fish sauce and soya sauce, cooking salt, sewing coconut-leaves for cottage proof, etc...A delicious lunch will be served under the shade of orchards on An Binh Island.
After lunch, the rowing boat will take you deeper into the countryside on smaller canals and you can enjoy peaceful time during cruise. It is so interesting to see traditional houses made of wood and palm tree leaves and witness some activities of the local farmers. You can have opportunities to make contacts with them and see how they catch fish or get fruits by ancestral ways in Mekong Delta. One more stop can be made at the nursery garden where you can communicate with Mr. Tiger & his son, who are successful farmers in Vietnam agriculture. We will enjoy some fruits and home made rice wine while listening to the traditional music.
End of the day, our boat will take you to a floating village to see how people farm catfish under the houses. The cruise will end at around 3 or 4pm in Vinh Long where our waiting vehicle will drive us back to hotel in Saigon. End of the great trip!
