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 gave me something I didn’t even know I was missing. Lam’s gentle voice and thoughtful insights helped me tune out the noise of daily life. On the sampan, everything slowed down—the rush of emails and meetings faded. We saw children playing in the water, elders fishing with practiced ease, families laughing in floating homes. Lam explained the fish farm with such clarity and care, and I admired the balance these people have with their environment. When the sun began to set, painting everything in amber, I felt deeply present. For once, I wasn’t thinking of tomorrow. I was just… here. Thank you, Lam, for this peace.
I’ll never forget this afternoon with Hannah. She brought such warmth and grace to every part of the journey. The sampan ride was so peaceful—no noise, no rush, just the sound of water and distant voices. Hannah explained the significance of life on the water, not with facts, but with compassion. I found myself deeply moved by the resilience of the people we passed. Their lives are hard, yet there was joy everywhere. The floating fish farm amazed me—an ecosystem both fragile and strong. And then the sunset came. I had seen many sunsets before, but this one… this one wrapped itself around me like a hug. Thank you, Hannah. I came back to the hotel quieter, but fuller somehow.
