Mekong Delta Home Stay
2 days/1 night

Day 1: Saigon – Vinh Long
Tour to Mekong Delta home stay is the quickest way to understand the local people is to become a local. Today, travel southwest to the Mekong Delta for a home-stay experience. Embark on a 3-hour drive with ever-changing views – from the rapidly developing Saigon city to the peaceful delta. On arrival, board the charming Mekong Queen to visit the bustling Cai Be floating market, filled with a number of boats bursting with fruits, vegetables, and other products along the river banks. Traders have lived on the river in their boats for generations (Optional: Visit a house producing rice paper, although they tend to be touristy). A short, 20-minute cruise will take you to the lunch venue, a meal filled with Mekong Delta specialties in a beautiful, ancient house where you can interact with the family members. You can also take a stroll around the orchard after lunch to learn how it contributes to the family’s livelihood. Other interesting visits include a family that weaves bamboo baskets and a brick factory.  Then head to the traditional home where you will spend the night.  If the sky is still bright after freshening up, take a stroll to find out more about the neighborhood. Prepare dinner with your host family and guide, learning about their daily lives. After dinner, a local boat will bring you back to the Mekong River for a local custom – lowering flower garlands and colored lanterns down into the river while enjoying the tranquil surroundings and peaceful scenery. This local custom is usually conducted to pray for blessings, good weather or a fruitful crop. The Mekong Delta sleeps early, so you will be back in your bunk in no time. The bed may be not luxurious and the mosquito net may be uncomfortable at first, but this is a great way to get in tune with nature and surroundings, amidst the sounds of crickets, lizards, frogs doing their utmost to outdo each other. Home stay in Vinh Long (Lunch, Dinner)
