A light breakfast of sandwiches or pastries, fresh tropical fruits and Vietnamese iced coffee (Ca phe sua da) is served, as your guide explains rural traditions and aspects of riverbank life. Visit a local lush fruit orchard, you’ll get a firsthand look at traditional fruit cultivation in the Mekong Delta and enjoy the rare treat of picking and tasting sun-ripened fruits straight from the trees.

Experience the charm of the Mekong Delta as you enjoy a short 10-minute ride in a traditional rowboat through the small canals, surrounded by coconut palms. Though brief, this peaceful activity provides a unique perspective on the region’s natural beauty.  You will visit a quaint Mekong village, and then a traditional farmhouse where you’ll sample coconuts and Mekong whisky. 

You’ll walk along the banks of the river to a traditional rural Vietnamese house where 3 generations live. You will visit a special pagoda.
