You will have a chance to get “off-the-beaten-path” by discovering and walking into the narrow alleys of Saigon, seeing Saigonese real life, and interacting with local people. Overnight in Saigon.

Depart from Saigon to the Mekong Delta, embark on a boat, and discover the lush beauty of the Mekong Delta as you wind your way down narrow canals on a sampan that glides along fruit orchards, paddy fields, and sleepy villages.

You will have a chance to take a leisurely bike ride on the island, wave your hands, and say “xin chao” to the children and people on the village roads.

Furthermore, admiring the local life along the banks and enjoying your cocktails at sunset will not be missed. Having dinner and overnight onboard.

Last early bird of the trip (at around 6.30 am) with a visit by boat to the famed Cairang floating market, where you can see a real hustle market, all in the water of Mekong, where the vendors display the delta’s bounty of fruits and vegetables on their boats.

However, while busy selling and buying, they will never forget to throw you happy smiles and wave at you. Disembark and then drive back to Saigon. Overnight in Saigon.
