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.

Chris had the rare ability to balance professionalism with heartfelt emotion. His love for Chau Doc was contagious. As we drifted on the sampan, he invited us to slow down, to really observe. The floating fish farm was fascinating, but it was the faces of the people—their smiles, their strength—that stayed with me. Chris translated a conversation with a fisherman, and even though we spoke different languages, I felt I understood. As the sky turned to gold and the water mirrored its beauty, Chris quietly said, “This is why I love my job.” I understand why. This was not tourism—it was immersion. Real, raw, and unforgettable
David was a joy from the beginning—funny, sincere, and full of stories. His gentle enthusiasm set the tone for what became a magical experience. I had expected a pretty sunset. I hadn’t expected to feel so moved by the lives along the river, or by the simplicity of it all. We floated past homes on stilts, children waving with such joy, and families who live in ways so different from ours in Europe, yet with such dignity. The fish farm was impressive, and David explained how important it is for the local economy. When the sunset came, we sat in silence. The water glowed. And I felt something shift inside. Peace, perhaps. Gratitude. I’m not sure. But I’ll never forget it.
