Embark on a journey to Cai Be, traversing the Trung Luong Expressway by car/van. Upon reaching Cai Be, delight in a boat ride to the remnants of a once-thriving wholesale floating market on the Tien River. Witness the transformation of local trading practices in the face of modernization and technological advancements in agriculture.

Ramble in small villages, where you'll uncover the beauty of an ancient house and learn about the indigenous culture. Make a short visit to a small family business where the locals make coconut fudges and crispy rice popcorn. Savor delicious fresh fruit and feel the slow rhythms of Southern Vietnamese folk music – a kind of music entwined with the life and culture of the Mekong Delta people.

Paddle through small canals – an exciting experience since you can look around, unwind, and soak up the wonderful atmosphere of the Upper Mekong Delta. Additionally, after arrival on Tan Phong Island, immerse yourself in nature's tranquility. At lunchtime, you'll have a chance to learn how to prepare Vietnamese specialties. The meal is cooked on your own and served in the heart of the local garden.

Next cycle on the village path through orchards. Meet the local islanders to learn more about the local daily life. Visit Ba Kiệt’s ancient house. Conclude your journey with a boat ride back to Cai Be, bidding farewell to the Mekong Delta's beauty. Return to Ho Chi Minh City, marking the end of an unforgettable adventure.
