You will take part in an excursion to the Mekong Delta focused on the Cai Rang Floating Market, artisanal life, and cocoa, combining navigation, cultural visits, and a complete gastronomic experience. Throughout the day, you will travel from Ho Chi Minh City into the heart of the delta to discover its daily rhythm, traditional trades, and most characteristic flavors, with breakfast and lunch included.
The experience will begin with the transfer to the Mekong area and boarding a boat to sail to the Cai Rang Floating Market. There, you will experience the atmosphere of the market from the water and enjoy a floating breakfast, observing how commercial activity unfolds on the boats and how this system continues to be part of local life.
