4 days
Ho Chi Minh, Mekong

Leave Saigon’s busy streets for palm-fringed canals, island gardens and a night in a local homestay. This four-day Mekong Delta journey follows Cai Be and Tan Phong to An Binh Island, then continues through Vinh Long to Can Tho and an early visit to Cai Rang floating market.
A hotel night in Ho Chi Minh City makes room for your arrival and welcome dinner. The next two nights bring a change of pace: cooking with your hosts on An Binh, then staying in Can Tho before the morning river excursion.
An island overnight gives you time beyond a brief river stop. Travel by boat from Cai Be, explore Tan Phong’s village paths on foot or by bicycle, and see the practical craft of weaving dried water hyacinth and making rice paper. Lunch is part of the day before the boat crossing to An Binh.
At the homestay, freshen up and join the family in the kitchen. Preparing dinner together is a relaxed way to learn about everyday cooking, then enjoy the meal before an unhurried island evening.
Village workshops introduce coconut candy and puffed rice before the journey passes brick kilns and fish-farming areas. Visit Vinh Long’s local market, where the produce and river catch offer another view of daily life, then continue by road to Can Tho.
The final morning starts early for Cai Rang. Watch the river trade from the boat, return for breakfast and travel towards Ho Chi Minh City with a stop at Vinh Trang Pagoda and an included lunch. The airport transfer is planned around your confirmed onward flight.
