Day 01: HCMC - Can Duoc - Cho Gao - My Tho - Cai Be (L, D) In the early morning we travel by our comfortable bus towards Can Duoc, where we come aboard of our boat to cruise to the Cho Gao floating market.
This sightseeing is extremely interesting as we participate in the life
of the local people. The market is a melting pot of colors, shapes,
sounds and smells. Rice, fresh fruit, fish, handicrafts, bonsais,
almost everything is for sale, a great opportunity to find some nice
souvenirs for the loved-ones at home! We continue our trip over the
Mekong Delta towards My Tho. On the way we make a stop to enter Thoi Son Island,
which is covered by tropical fruit orchards. We make a magnificent walk
through this big green garden where we enjoy fresh fruit gathered on
the spot. We leave Thoi Son to continue our way up to Cai Be. We moor
our little ship on the crossing point of 4 canals as we enjoy an
excellent local dinner. The beauty of the countryside will overwhelm
you as we watch the sun go down...The night is spend on board. Day 02: Cai Be - Long Xuyen (B, L, D) Noises of the surrounding boats will wake you up in the early morning. After enjoying a Vietnamese breakfast we exchange our boat into a little sampan to get closer to the Cai Be floating market. Immediately you will recognize the differences with the market we saw before. After our visit to the morning-market we continue our cruise with a visit to the impressing Khmer pagoda. We also participate in some home-run workshop in which we learn how to produce rice crape and how to dry longan (fruit). We return to our boat to cruise towards Long Xuyen via Sadec. Here we will spend the night and enjoy dinner. Day 03: Long Xuyen - Ho Chi Minh City (B, L) Today
we visit our last floating market, called Long Xuyen Market. After
breakfast we bring a visit to Cu Lao Ong Ho Island to make an
interesting promenade through authentic villages and magnificent green
gardens. Afterwards we explore local waterways by little sampan, which
offers you an interesting in-depth exploration of local life. Lunch is
served on board. You will have the time to evaluate your experiences as
we return to Ho Chi Minh City by bus. On the way we make a stop to
visit the Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh, the center of Caodaism in
Vietnam. Caodaism is a bizarre and unique sect in Vietnam, which
represents a mix of Taoism, Christianity and Confucianism. Saints who
are praised here are Jesus, Buddha and legendary people like Victor
Hugor, Churchill and Nguyen Binh Khiem! Their religious ceremony is
celebrated everyday and we will have the chance to get to know more
about this mysterious sect. Afterwards we transfer you to Ho Chi Minh
City and bring you to your hotel. End of our service. |
