Can Tho floating fish farmTo begin Con Son islet tour, nothing can be as great as taking a boat sightseeing Can Tho Floating fish farm on Hau river. The river reflects the ups and downs of the fish farming village which has long been famous in the area. The locals made their floating house in the river for both living and fishing. 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. Visitors can take leisure time to interact with the fisherman to learn about different interesting colorful freshwater fish and unlock the secrets of the river habitats on the Mekong river as well.

I didn’t think a short afternoon tour could leave such a big impression. Thomas was amazing—he explained the local traditions and lifestyles with so much heart. The floating fish farms were fascinating, and I had never imagined fish could be trained to “fly”! The orchard walk was peaceful, and I loved how the local farmers welcomed us. Vietnam keeps surprising me in the best ways.
Duy was an incredible guide—gentle, well-informed, and always attentive. I came expecting a calm boat ride and maybe a few trees. But what I got was so much more. Seeing how locals live and raise fish on the river, watching those hilarious flying snakehead fish leap for their treats, walking through fruit gardens and eating fresh mangoes off the tree… this was pure magic. Highly recommend for travelers who want something real.
