    05:30 – Pick up from your homestay

    Transfer to the boat station and board a traditional wooden sampan.

    As the boat glides through the river at dawn, you’ll witness the breathtaking sunrise casting golden light over the water — a magical moment not to be missed. Soon after, you’ll arrive at Cai Rang Floating Market, the largest and liveliest market in the Mekong Delta. Your guide will explain the fascinating history of this unique river-based trading hub and its importance to local life.

    Enjoy a delicious Vietnamese breakfast on the boat — choose between a steaming bowl of noodle soup, a warm Bánh Mì, or soft Bánh Bao, just like the locals.
