Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City – Mekong Delta: Cai Be Town & Countryside Journey (L, D)

Picked up at the hotel at around 7.30 AM, we will drive to Cai Be, Mekong Delta. On the arrival, we will be warmly welcomed by the local guide and enjoy some fresh, exotic tropical fruits, and then we will embark on a boat to explore Mekong Delta waterways, Cai Be town and traditional handicrafts villages. The boatman will take us to the home-stay on Tan Phong Island to check in and have lunch.

In the afternoon, the local host family will take us to their orchards where we can learn about different plants and gardening. You can enjoy the interesting experience of using bare hands to pluck the ripe fruits from the trees if you wish. Then, we will visit their vegetable garden and do some more gardening such as planting or watering the vegetables. We can also help the host family to pick up some vegetables for dinner. After that, we will be back to the homestay to shower, help with preparing in the kitchen, and finally enjoy the meal in friendly and pleasant surroundings.

There is a variety of activities in the free evening: night frog-catching (weather permits), teaching English to local children. We will spend a whole night in the homestay.

Day 2: Mekong Delta - Tan Phong Island & Villages Tour – Ho Chi Minh City (B)

Waking up early in the morning is a great thing to do. Enjoy the fresh air. Hear the roosters' crow, listen to the early birds' song and other sounds which only countryside areas have, stroll around the village to see their morning life with busy farmers starting their work.

Back to the homestay, have breakfast and then we will cycle around Tan Phong Island to see the beautiful sceneries and to visit some handicraft workshops of handbags, rice papers, and wooden handmade things. After that, we come back to the homestay, check out, and say goodbye to the hospitable host. Back on a boat, we go back to the mainland. There we will have our car waiting. The driver will drive us to Ho Chi Minh City. Tour ends. Wish you have exciting and memorable experiences with the Vietnam tour!
