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.

This tour was something I didn’t realize I needed. Duy, with his kind smile and deep knowledge, guided us gently into the heart of Chau Doc’s river life. Watching families cook, play, and work on floating homes felt like peeking into a sacred rhythm of life that hasn’t changed for generations. The floating fish farm fascinated me—the ingenuity, the resilience. Duy explained everything with a tone of respect and admiration, which made me admire it even more. The sunset over the Mekong felt like time slowed to a crawl. I remember Duy whispering, “This is the best part,” and it truly was. An unforgettable journey for the heart and soul.
From the moment Lam picked us up at our hotel, I felt like we were in good hands. His warmth and quiet confidence made the whole experience feel personal. Gliding down the Mekong on the little sampan was like slipping into another world—quiet, humble, and rich with unseen beauty. Lam told us stories of the river, of the people who live their whole lives afloat, and it touched something deep in me. Seeing the floating fish farm and waving to the children on the riverbanks made me feel more than a visitor—I felt connected. And that sunset… it was like the river exhaled and paused just for us. The golds and pinks on the water mirrored everything I was feeling. Thank you, Lam, for reminding us how beautiful simple life can be.
