Board a traditional Vietnamese bamboo basket boat and cruise through the waterways towards the mouth of the river, where it meets the Cua Dai Sea.

Learn how to paddle the unique basket boat and enjoy this fun and authentic local experience.

Explore the peaceful coconut-palm waterways, once a strategic area during the war, and hear stories about the extreme conditions endured by soldiers on both sides.

After the meal, we will cycle back to your hotel, and the trip will end.
