Chau Doc River Sampan Boat and Floating fish farmStep aboard a traditional sampan (a small, authentic wooden boat) and drift into the heart of local life on this immersive Chau Doc River Sunset Tour. As you gently glide along the peaceful waters of the Mekong River, you’ll witness the vibrant river culture, meet friendly locals, and visit one of the region’s fascinating floating fish farms, where thousands of fish are raised beneath floating homes.
This intimate journey gives you a rare glimpse into the daily lives of families who live entirely on the river—where homes float, fish move, and culture flows with the current. Learn about traditional fishing practices, river-based livelihoods, and the deep connection between the people and the Mekong River in Mekong Delta. -
Chau Doc Sunset (weather-permitting)As the day winds down, your sampan positions you in the perfect spot to enjoy the stunning Chau Doc sunset—a breathtaking palette of colors reflected across the wide river. While nature’s show is never guaranteed, the calm, golden-hour atmosphere offers a serene and unforgettable ending to your journey.

Minh didn’t just show us the Mekong—he helped us feel it. From the first greeting, he made us feel welcome, as if we were old friends. As the sampan glided through the calm river, Minh shared his love for the people who live by the water. The visit to the fish farm wasn’t just informative—it was deeply human. He introduced us to the family running it, and even let us try feeding the fish. Laughter bubbled up from the boat. And then, as the sun began its descent, we sat in silence. The colors were almost unreal. Minh didn’t speak—but he didn’t need to. The river did. I left with a full heart and a quiet smile.
Duy’s empathy made this journey unforgettable. As we cruised along the river, he spoke of the challenges people face here—but not in a sorrowful way. Rather, he showed us the quiet strength, the deep-rooted pride, the joy in small things. I looked at the fish farm and didn’t just see an industry—I saw a legacy. As we drifted past floating homes, Duy waved to a boy who shouted his name. That simple interaction said everything. This was his community. And in those few hours, he made it feel like ours too. The sunset was almost too beautiful to believe. I felt tears sting my eyes. It was more than a tour. It was a lesson in humility and grace.
