Full description

Get a feel for the local way of life on the Mekong Delta on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Cai Be. Enjoy a boat ride and a cooking class before lunch. After, either paddle a kayak or ride a bike to explore the area further.

After pickup at your hotel, depart Ho Chi Minh and drive to Cai Be. Upon arrival, take some time to explore the town on foot and then board a motorized boat to cruise along the Mekong river to admire the serene scenery.

Continue on a small sampan boat to paddle along the small canals and see the locals going about their day. The boat ride offers a unique perspective of the area, and you will see firsthand how locals live and work on the river.

The boat takes you to the region’s fruit orchards where you can try some fresh fruits and enjoy the local music performed by the villagers. Next, arrive at a local restaurant and attend a cooking class to prepare some traditional dishes using fresh ingredients sourced from the region for lunch.

After lunch, take a rest and relax before hitting the water by using kayaks for a leisurely paddle down the Mekong river. Take your time and soak up the peaceful surroundings. Alternatively, if you don't want to go kayaking, hop on a bike and explore the countryside on two wheels. The bike ride is a great way to get up close and personal with the area’s rural way of life. Once you have kayaked or biked, travel back to Ho Chi Minh City with your memories of this charming town in the Mekong Delta.

We had an amzazing day with our guide Huong! She really kept it fun and joyful. It is a very full day of many activities like boat rides, kajaking, cycling, listening to traditional music, seeing how coconut products are prepared and a little bit of cooking (better book a full cooking class if that is your focus) we really liked it and would do it again!

This day tour around the Mekong delta is well worth doing to get an impression of this huge waterway system and to see how the local people live in this part of the world. The trip was well organized and includes many various activities. I was a bit skeptical about the visit to the sweet making place, but it was actually really interesting and there was no pressure to buy anything. Lunch was delicious and the cooking class beforehand to make fresh spring rolls and crispy pancakes was great fun. The bike ride after lunch was the lowlight of the day. Very dodgy bikes and narrow paths with scooters and motorbikes constantly wanting to pass. Plus it was extremely hot. The kayaking on the river was the one reason I booked this particular tour and we had 20 minutes. Disappointing. Nevertheless, it was a great day on the water and we had a wonderful guide with a wicked sense of humour. Thankyou Beo.

The tour was very interesting, beautiful and away from the city noise. The tour guide was very informative and nice, pickup and drop-off both on time, everything was very smooth! I do not recommend this tour if you are traveling around 8-9pm ish, as traffic can get quite bad going back to the city. Don’t forget the sunblock!
