Why choose this Ho Chi Minh City tour ?
On this private guided tour, you will discover the Cai Rang floating market, a colourful, buzzing market with hundreds of boat vendors selling fruits, vegetables & hot food from sunrise to late morning. And you will have a chance to savour a locally styled breakfast, a bowl of noodle soup.
After the floating market we will take you to another city (My tho and Ben tre) for another boat tour. You will walk into the village, where you can visit a local fruit garden and enjoy the tropical fruit while listening to Southern Vietnamese folk music and join daily activities of the local people and take in the atmosphere of this beautiful natural countryside. During this second boat trip, you will visit the bee house, and take the picture of the pythons. Lunch will be served in the orchard garden.
Next, enjoy a rowing boat trip on the small canal, fully covered by the shadow of the water coconut’s trees before returning to Saigon.

What makes 1 Day Private Cai Rang Floating Market and My Tho Boat Tour a unique experience ?
At this bustling floating market, the cries of the sellers seem to be swallowed up by the immensity of the river and lost into the noise of the boat engines. The disadvantageous situation appears to favor the emergence of a unique advertising method: the sellers advertise their wares from the top of a long pole attached to their boats.
Every boat has a tall upright pole with samples of the goods for sale hung on it, so the sellers don’t have to cry out what they are selling and buyers can easily see the goods sold on that boat from a far distance. Just look up and one will know exactly which boat is providing the products they are looking for.
Your afternoon trip continues from here by motorized boat on the Tien River to the Lan ( Unicorn Islet).
You will visit a local fruit garden and enjoy the tropical fruit while listening to Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by islanders. Here you also can join daily activities of the local people. Visit the bee house, and take the picture of the pythons. Lunch will be served right in the heart of the orchard garden.
The boat cruise will lead you through Bao Dinh canal, entering Ben Tre province — “the land of coconuts.” Here you’ll see a typical agricultural model called “Garden – Pond – Cage,” before visiting the coconut candy-making shop.
Next, enjoy a rowing boat trip on the small canal, fully covered by the shadow of the water coconut’s trees. After your boat ride, take another boat ride back to the port before returning to the van. You will arrive back in Ho Chi Minh City at around 5:30 to 6:00 PM.
Vinh Trang Pagoda is located along Nguyen Trung Truc Street in My Tho City, Tien Giang Province, approximately 4 kilometers away from the city center and 90 kilometers away from Can Tho City.
