PHONG DIEN FLOATING MARKET USED TO BE VERY NICE BUT NOWADAYS, IT IS A VERY SMALL FLOATING MARKET, JUST AROUND 10 BOATS, NO NEED TO VISIT IT
From Ninh Kieu park, at 5:30 am, we take the small boat to Cai Rang Floating Market – the biggest wholesale floating market in the Mekong Delta. The Cai Rang Floating Market is well known for its variety of fresh fruits and other local products. Hundreds of boats still gather there to buy and sell every morning. We will have breakfast and coffee at the market, enjoy fresh pineapple on the local’s boat. This is a unique opportunity to experience everyday life on the Mekong.
Afterwards, we visit a local house to see how the locals make rice noodle “hu tieu”. On the way back we can visit Cocoa garden to see first-hand how the locals make fresh chocolate and get to taste some (entrance fee is NOT included). Following this, we will get back onborard the boat and journey into a very beautiful canal with lots of water coconut on both sides of river. If you are intersted in rowing the boat, there will be an opportunity here to learn (depends on the tide, we can go through the canal or just a short distance). The tour comes to an end here, our guide will drop you back at your hotel.
