Itinerary
-
ItineraryPickup: At 8:30 AM (or 2 PM), our English-speaking tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Can Tho by car and transfer you to the pier for your Son Islet community-based tourism experience.
Upon arrival, take a short local boat ride of about 5 minutes across the Mekong River to Son Islet. This peaceful island is known for its lush orchards, friendly locals, and authentic Mekong lifestyle, offering a refreshing escape from the city.
Visit a seasonal fruit garden where you can stroll among tropical fruit trees and learn about local farming practices from the gardeners. Depending on the season, you may see longan, rambutan, pomelo, star apple, coconut, or other fruits grown on the island. Enjoy fresh tropical fruits right at the orchard while experiencing daily life in the garden.
Continue to another local house for the Flying Snakehead Fish show. On Son Islet, local farmers have trained snakehead fish to jump high out of the water simultaneously to catch food, creating a unique and entertaining spectacle that requires patience and years of practice.
Continue to a local family's garden to experience the famous duck massage, one of Son Islet's most unusual attractions. Meet local residents, learn about their daily activities, and gain insight into life on a green Mekong River island.
Take the boat trip from Son Islet back to the mainland.
End your fun and educational Son Islet experience. You will be transferred back to your hotel or meeting point by car/taxi around 12:30 Noon (or 6:00 PM, depending on your selected tour option)

Nowadays, there are more and more green and responsible tours which are meaningful and educational as well. This is why Can Tho noodle factory is getting popular for both Vietnamese and foreigners to come and explore the cuisine culture and the typical local life in Can Tho, Mekong Delta.
We had already booked a tour with VeMekong in 2024, back then with the outstanding tour guide Lâm. Since we liked it so much, we booked another tour with him this year: Son islet and fruit garden
On the half-day tour, we visited many wonderful people and places, all fascinating in their own way. Our tour guide always provided us with valuable information about all locations. Due to last-minute cancellations by other participants, we luckily and spontaneously had something like a private tour, which gave it a familial character. Also here, a shout-out to VeMekong for not canceling the tour because of fewer participants
The tour and the guide are highly recommended to get an authentic impression of the Mekong Delta.
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.
