Real experiences from real travelers
Doing the 2-day tour was the best decision. The 1-day trip would have been too rushed. Waking up in Can Tho to see the floating market at 5:30 AM was magical. Our guide Tuan was hilarious and knowledgeable.
We chose the homestay option and loved it. The family cooked us an amazing dinner and we learned how to make spring rolls. The bike ride through the village was a highlight. Highly recommend bringing mosquito repellent!
The floating market is a must-see, but be prepared for an early wake-up call! The boat ride through the small canals was peaceful. The hotel in Can Tho was comfortable and clean.
I was worried about it being too touristy, but the small canal sampan ride felt very peaceful. The bee farm was interesting (try the honey tea!). Good value for money considering meals and transport are included.
The scenery is very different from Saigon. I liked the fruit tasting. The bus ride from Ho Chi Minh is about 3-4 hours, which is long, but the guide made it entertaining.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, absolutely. A 2-day tour allows you to stay overnight in Can Tho, which means you can reach the Cai Rang Floating Market early in the morning (around 6 AM) when it is most active. 1-day tours from HCMC usually arrive too late to see the market at its peak.
Pack lightly: a small backpack with a change of clothes, comfortable walking shoes, sun hat, sunscreen, strong insect repellent, and a light rain jacket. Bring cash (VND) for small purchases.
Accommodation depends on your booking choice. You can choose a standard hotel in Can Tho city (3-4 stars) for comfort, or a local homestay for a more cultural experience. All partnered accommodations are vetted for cleanliness and safety.
Yes, meals provided on the tour are prepared at hygienic local restaurants or homestays accustomed to serving international guests. Avoid drinking tap water; stick to bottled water.
The market is busiest between 5:30 AM and 7:00 AM. This is why the overnight 2-day tour is superior, as you are already nearby.
Yes, most travelers leave their large suitcases at their hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and just bring a small overnight bag. Most hotels in District 1 are happy to store luggage for returning guests.
Yes, the Delta is a tropical wetland. Mosquitoes are present, especially at dusk and dawn. We strongly recommend bringing and applying high-quality insect repellent.
Yes, children generally enjoy the boat rides and fruit tasting. However, parents should be mindful of the heat and ensure children wear life jackets (provided) on boats.
Yes, our tour partners can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary restrictions. Please notify us at the time of booking.
