Tour itinerary
Upon arrival in Ho Chi Minh City, your guide and private car will meet you and transfer you to your hotel for check-in. This afternoon is free at leisure. A range of activities can be arranged for your family such as city tours, cooking classes, museum visits and so on.
Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City
This morning, leave bustling Ho Chi Minh for the 2.5-hour drive to the delta town of Cai Be.
The brilliant colors and bustling markets of the Mekong Delta will delight kids as well as adults.
Arrive in Cai Be at noon, then board the Bassac. A welcome drink will be given on arrival followed by an introduction to the ship and crew. Depart towards Cho Lach on the Tien Giang River and enjoy lunch on the upper deck while en route. Rest on the deck while the ship branches into the Cho Lach Canal for 30 minutes through the traffic of sand and rice barges, past fruit drying facilities and around wooden ship building yards.
Visit a village on the banks of river Mang Thít, where you can appreciate the way of life here in the Delta. Visit the orchard or rice fields nearby. Back on board the Bassac a complimentary drink will be served, so why not sit back and enjoy the sunset overlooking the Mekong’s magical waterways.
Dinner will be served whilst the Bassac cruises the Mang Thit River towards the Bassac’s anchorage for the night, downstream from the little market of Tra On.
Overnight aboard the Bassac Boat
A delicious breakfast will be served from 0630 whilst the boat cruises past Tra On towards Can Tho. Upon arrival in Can Tho area check out of your cabin and transfer onto a smaller local boat to visit the Cai Rang floating market.
Cruise through the floating market with wholesalers on big boats. Here, during the early morning market hours, larger sized boats anchor and create lanes that smaller boats weave in and out of. The main items sold here are fruit and vegetables and every boat has a long upright pole at its bow from which samples of the goods for sale are hung. The waterway becomes a maze of boats packed with produce depending on the season - mango, bananas, papaya, pineapple, and even floating pho vendors.
Return to land and have lunch in Can Tho.
This afternoon, spend time cycling around the quiet lanes and dirt paths of Can Tho. Biking is the perfect way to discover the countryside with your family. The roads are flat and the sites are amazing: cottage industries, small farms harvesting or planting rice, hidden temples and lots of friendly locals who will come out to greet you.
Then, transfer to a small hotel in Can Tho. This cozy modern hotel is a comfortable place to stay after a long day.
Overnight in Can Tho
After your breakfast, the morning is free at lesiure to further explore Can Tho at your own pace, or to relax and enjoy the swimming pool and facilities at your charming riverfront resort.
Early afternoon it’s time to drive back to Ho Chi Minh City. The journey takes around 4-hours.
Upon reaching Ho Chi Minh City you will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight or to a hotel in the city (accommodation tonight is not included – at own arrangements).
Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho (180km): 4 hours
