About an hour drive from Can Tho city, the 2,800-hectare wetland conservation is one of Can Tho hidden gems for anyone who loves to see a real Mekong Delta beside Can Tho floating market.
Exploring and weaving in the untouched wetland of the Mekong delta by boat gives the best experience about the wildlife and nature. Wonderful natural green canals and feeling like nowhere in Vietnam. Then, get to the 25-meter observation tower to enjoy the fascinating view over the wetland forest and the stunning seasonal rice fields. (About one and a half hours in the forest, more or less, depend on your speed and birdwatching time). Take an amazing light trekking about 1,2km (or boat again, transfer back to the station if you do not want the easy trekking with the flat path) in nature for watching native birds.

A Perfect Blend of Culture and Nature
Our second day in Can Tho with guide Lam was a delightful blend of culture, nature, and genuine local life. Visiting the rice noodle “factory” was fascinating—Lam explained with great enthusiasm how rice noodles are made differently from rice paper, and the colorful noodles were a feast for the eyes. I loved learning how this small family-run business has kept traditional methods alive without turning into a tourist trap. Walking through the tropical fruit garden was another highlight—tasting fresh fruits I’d never seen before and hearing stories about the plants made me feel truly immersed in the Mekong Delta’s rich biodiversity. The peaceful sampan ride through the small, quiet canals was a welcome contrast to the busy floating market, letting me absorb the beauty and tranquility of the rural countryside. The optional bike ride was fun and refreshing, offering another way to see the simple yet charming local life. Lam’s warmth, patience, and deep knowledge made this day feel like a personal discovery, not just a tour. It was a heartfelt journey that showed me the Mekong Delta’s real soul beyond the usual tourist routes.

Sunrise and Authenticity Like No Other
I’ve done many tours, but waking up before dawn to visit the Cai Rang floating market was unlike anything else. Our guide, Duy, met us with enthusiasm and deep knowledge about the market’s history, culture, and the urgent need to experience it before it fades away. Watching the sunrise over the river, surrounded by boats loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables, was simply magical. Duy made the whole experience so personal—he shared stories about the floating market’s origins, its changes, and why it’s such a vital part of local life. I also appreciated how he took care of everyone’s needs, including offering a delicious vegetarian breakfast on the boat. The peaceful sampan ride through smaller canals afterward felt like a secret, hidden world, so quiet and intimate. The bike ride through the village was a refreshing way to connect with the slower rhythm of rural life. Duy’s friendly personality and passion made the whole day feel like a genuine journey into the heart of the Mekong Delta. I can’t recommend this tour enough for those who want to feel the soul of Vietnam.
