Take a boat trip and go along the river, you see how the floating life happens and how the locals take care of their fish farm.

Thomas was engaging and full of good stories. I loved the simplicity of the floating fish farms—how people make a life from the river. Then boom! Flying fish, laughter, clapping. It felt so alive. The walk through the fruit garden was super relaxing. Tried fruit I’ve never seen before in my life. Con Son islet is a peaceful corner of the world, and I’m grateful to have seen it with this crew.
From start to finish, this tour gave me so many emotions. Minh was an angel—knowledgeable and kind. The fish farmers were so open to sharing, and I felt so welcome. Seeing the snakehead fish fly was hilarious and thrilling. But the calm in the orchard was my favorite moment. Just me, the guide, and a jackfruit bigger than my head. This is the kind of tourism I want to support.
