Mekong Delta Discovery Tagestour - Mein Tho - Ben Tre

We can easily imagine a very hard life on these boats both floating shop and place to live. This floating market sells, buys, barters only yam pineapple fruits and vegetables dragon fruits and passion milk apple. Besides, it is planned that you stop to eat it In this tour you will discover a rice noodle factory, I was invited to participate They then dry outside. It is one of Vietnam s largest floating markets. The choice between tradition and modernity

We took a 3h excursion at sunrise with Hung! We were lucky enough to be alone on the boat and were able to watch the sunrise! Hung was great with us, he explained how the floating market works and introduced us to the shops we had breakfast in (delicious noodles and hot coffee) and pineapples with chilli salt! A delight! We highly recommend this visit with Hung:) his phone on WhatsApp is: ‪+84 76 490 5534€!

Really nice early boat tour in Can tho, we had the chance to visit Cai Rang floating market, get nice noodle soup, see a beautiful sunrise, visit a noodle factory, a garden and eat fresh fruits. The tour guide was really nice 😉 I do recommend this experience !

My family and I went on this tour while staying with Susan Bui for one night during our trip around Vietnam and Cambodia and it was a highlight of our holiday. We would give Susan 6 stars if we could; we cannot recommend her enough. If you’re thinking of doing the Mekong Delta tour, Susan’s homestay would definitely be worth your while. Even though Susan’s home is only a short drive (arranged by our host) from Can Tho, it feels entirely different. It’s a great break from the busyness of cities like Ho Chi Minh. Susan’s brother Nick brought us on a (very easy) bike tour of the area, including a stop at the market to buy ingredients for dinner, and it felt like we were seeing the real lives of the locals. The accommodation itself is great - a very peaceful area, and the rooms were lovely (the mosquito nets were especially appreciated). Preparing and eating dinner together was absolutely enjoyed by all. Susan’s boat tour down the Hau River in the morning involves an early start (5.30am) but it’s well worth it to see the floating markets at their busiest and to enjoy breakfast on the river. The other stops on the tour were just as interesting, and Susan is a fantastic guide - very informative and engaging. Easily the best aspect of our experience, however, was Susan’s accommodation of my severe peanut allergy. Travelling in Vietnam can be difficult, because peanuts and peanut oil are so common, so there’s a cultural as well as a language barrier to overcome. The early leg of our trip involved a lot of McDonald’s. Not only did Susan take my allergy into account when providing us with lunch and when we got to make dinner with her, but she also ensured that the restaurant we visited for lunch after the boat trip cooked my meal in a substitute oil. We would recommend Susan’s homestay for everyone, but especially people with food allergies or intolerances. It was great to be able to try Vietnamese cooking without any stress or fear. Last of all, after we had parted ways with Susan, our bus to HCMC broke down before leaving Can Tho. We got in touch with Susan and she arranged a replacement bus on short notice (on NYE) and had us on the road within 40 minutes of us calling her. She really went above and beyond, and we couldn’t thank her enough. Tl;dr: if you are interested in doing the Mekong Delta Discovery Tour would highly recommend staying with Susan, especially for those with food allergies.

Arrived by 7:30 am to catch the sellers on their boats before they leave for other areas. Fresh fruits , vegetables and noodles. Ate a breakfast of pho which was hot and flavorful. Also ate freshly trimmed pineapple which was sweet. Road the boat to a fruit farm and sampled more fruits. Also stopped at a family run noodle factory which made rice and tapioca flour sheets for fresh rolls.
