Mekong Delta River Life
2 days/1 night

Day 1: Saigon – My Tho - Can Tho
Mekong river tour with river life, after breakfast, set out on an excursion to My Tho, a charming city in the Mekong Delta close to Saigon. A 2-hour drive brings you through urbanized areas until you reach the river tributaries of the Mekong Delta. Stop over at Vinh Trang pagoda, an ancient southern architectural gem. Built in 1849, the structure is a mixture of Asian and European architecture including elements from the Renaissance period, Romanesque style, French decorative flowers and Japanese enameled tile. On arrival in My Tho, board a private but rustic local motorized boat to cruise along the upper Mekong and observe the abundant agricultural life. Visit a fish-rearing village before entering Vam Xep canal and its beautiful water palm scenery. Disembark and stroll around Quoi An fruit orchard, visiting fruit-drying kilns and a workshop for coconut craftwares. Take a short horse-drawn cart ride along the village road. Upon arrival at Ben Truc – Phong Phu garden, sample delicious fruits from the Mekong delta and enjoy traditional local music. This is also an opportunity to interact with local people who make their livelihoods on the river. End your journey with a rowing boat trip to explore the water palm canals. After the main boat has transferred you to My Tho, enjoy your lunch at Ngoc Gia Trang restaurant - a simple eatery offering tasty Mekong specialties. Another 2-hour drive and a local ferry will bring you to Can Tho (You may encounter large crowds and a long queue at the ferry station, especially on the weekends)
Overnight in Can Tho. (Lunch)

Day 2: Can Tho - Saigon
If you are an early riser (about 0530am), you can catch the bustling atmosphere of the unique floating market of Mekong Delta and then back to you hotel for a leisurely breakfast later on. Otherwise, get on a local boat around 8:00 a.m. to explore the colorful Cai Rang floating market, where a number of boats laden with fruit, vegetables and fish jostle for trade. Sellers advertise their wares by crying out across the waters or tie their goods to a tall pole so that buyers can see from a distance. Cruise back to your hotel to freshen up and check-out. Return to Saigon with a lunch stop at Mekong Rest Stop restaurant.
