I’m still amazed by how much we did in just one morning! Chris met us with a warm smile at 5AM and the adventure started right away. The floating market at sunrise was a dream – boats filled with fruits, coffee vendors weaving through, and the most delicious noodle soup I’ve ever tasted.
But the highlight for me was the peaceful sampan ride through the hidden canals. The sounds of nature, the slow paddle… it was a meditative moment.
Then we jumped on bikes and cycled through the countryside – banana trees, papaya, children waving hello. The cacao farm was a surprise hit, and I never knew fresh cacao milk could be so tasty.
If you want something real, raw, and full of heart – this tour is it.
Our guide Chris made this early morning tour truly special. Witnessing the Cai Rang floating market at dawn was a rare and beautiful experience, enhanced by Chris’s insightful stories about the market’s history and the challenges it faces today. The fresh pineapple and noodle soup served on the boat were delicious and authentic. The family-run rice noodle factory amazed me with its colorful creations and the fascinating noodle-making process. The peaceful sampan ride through Can Tho’s canals was a perfect moment to connect with nature. Biking through quiet villages and orchards was a highlight, especially visiting the organic cacao farm where we enjoyed fresh cacao milk and learned about local chocolate-making traditions. The fruit garden walk rounded off an immersive and educational experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to discover the Mekong’s heart and soul.
