We traveled with two young kids (5 and 8), and I was worried they’d get bored – but they LOVED it. Duy, our guide, made everything engaging and fun for them. He let them touch coconuts, try weaving mats, and even “help” row the sampan.
The xe lôi ride was their highlight – bumpy and full of laughs. The coconut candy workshop gave them a sugar boost, and they kept asking for more samples 😄.
Lunch was lovely, with room for them to run around in the garden. Reaching Can Tho by early evening, we were tired but happy. A perfect day for families!
As someone who loves coconuts, this tour was heaven. I never realized just how many things you can do with a coconut until Danh explained everything at the local workshop – from candy to mats to oil. So cool!
The sampan ride was peaceful, a nice break from city chaos. Also enjoyed the bumpy ride on the xe lôi — the wind in your face and all that green, it’s unforgettable.
Lunch was well-portioned and authentic, especially the fried elephant ear fish. We ended in Can Tho around sunset, which was a perfect photo moment. Loved every bit!
