TOUR MAP
ITINERARY BY DAY

+ 05:00 AM, our car and tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and transfer to the boat station for embarking the authentic sampan (small boat) for the morning river tour.

+ 05:45 AM, arriving at the Cai Rang floating market – the biggest one – a must see in Can Tho, Mekong Delta Vietnam. On the way, your boat driver will slow down for you to watch the sunrise on the Can Tho tributary of Mekong River.

+ At the market, you will have a breakfast (included, and vege-friendly) on the river which brings you a very unique experience and a better view about the local river life. Have pineapple dessert, cafe and more.

 + After a GOOD MORNING VIETNAM! GOOD MORNING MEKONG! Your sampan keeps reaching to the village where the friendly family’s traditional noodle house is. You’ll be impressed by the colorful noodles, and how fascinating the noodles are made by locals. The family will serve you the yummy noodle pizza made by the owner’s wife.

+ 07:00 AM, leave the crowds behind and enjoy an intimate peaceful sampan ride in the Phong Dien’s non-touristy canals – one of the most beautiful canals of Can Tho’s 1157km waterways. (U.S. visual media company Getty Images has listed the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho among 15 world’s most beautiful canal cities). Your sampan ride will spend more than an hour on the canals which are very long and peaceful. Your boat driver will stop driving, but paddling slowly so that you can feel the relaxation, airy and even more chilled thanks to the pleasant nature of evergreen Can Tho canals of nipa (napa) palm, freshwater mangrove, coconut and more.

+ Around 8:00 AM, get in the car in Can Tho and depart for Tra Su forest.

+ On the way, the tour includes three more wonderful stops: have a sugar palm juice with a Chau Doc countryside view at the sugar palm field. Visit and check-in one of the best rice fields (seasonal) in Mekong Delta. The unique peaceful Khmer pagoda is a must to see when you get to the Tra Su, Tinh Bien. 

+ Around noon, arrive at Tra Su forest (planted from the 80s). The tour guide then helps you with boat tickets (included) and get on board. After sitting on a motor boat around 20 minutes to contemplate the natural sights, you will take to the rowing sampan (about half hour) to watch birds and enjoy the most beautiful flooded forest in Vietnam as well as SEA. Afterwards, get back to the motorboat and reach inner the forest. Take 500-meter walking to get to the 25-meter observation post to enjoy the fascinating view over the mountain in the area, the expanses of cajeput forest and the white dots of flying storks. Take an amazing bamboo walking bridge in the forest in Vietnam which gives you much time to feel the beauty of nature.

+ About 3 hours in the forest included local lunch in the restaurant in the forest.
