Lively Mekong

Cai Be floating market is not the biggest floating market, but it is good to understand the life of the river, one of the tourist magnets of the Mekong Delta
Mekong Delta, the fertile land with friendly smiles and lush tranquil gardens is waiting to embrace any visitor coming to it. Just after a 2-hour drive southwest from Saigon, you already have a chance to discover the Mekong Delta’s unique market and, also the symbol of the region, Cai Be floating market. This is not the biggest floating market, but it is good to understand the life of the river, one of the tourist magnets of the Mekong Delta. Relax on our wooden charming boat, the Mekong Queen and explore the bustling floating market while enjoying the tropical fresh fruits on board is really a wonderful experience that you will never forget. You will find floating vendors lining up their boats in the middle of the stream with their agricultural products hung on bamboo poles.
Leave the boat for a while to visit the local business where you can interact with the local people to learn more about their daily life. Have fun with a leisure sampan ride through canals before boarding the boat for a short cruise to visit a local family who make handicraft products from water hyacinth. Then have your taste pleased by mouth-watering specialties of the Mekong Delta from a home hosted lunch at an ancient local home. A two-hour drive back to Saigon will end your lovely excursion exploring the countryside of Vietnam and offering you remarkable experiences in the journey of discovering Mekong Delta.
