Itinerary

Day1

Welcome to the Mekong — Transfer & Village Intro

Meet your private driver at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City). Transfer by air-conditioned vehicle to the Mekong Delta (approx. 2–3 hours), passing lush rice paddies and river canals. Arrive at your comfortable riverside homestay near Cai Be/Ben Tre. Settle into family rooms, enjoy a welcome drink, and join a short orientation walk to meet hosts and children from the village. Evening family dinner with fresh, local specialties.

Important: Light luggage recommended for easier boat transfers.

Day2

Full River Village Immersion

Start the day with a traditional Vietnamese breakfast. Board a private boat to explore small canals and floating fruit farms. Visit a riverside workshop to see coconut candy and rice-paper making — families can try simple steps under supervision. Afternoon free time to play with local children, relax in hammocks, or participate in a short orchard fruit tasting.

Tip: Carry sun protection and a reusable water bottle for boat outings.

Day3

Market Visit, Bicycle Village Tour & Family Cooking Class

After an early boat ride to a nearby market to see daily trade, return for a gentle bicycle ride through shaded village roads (children’s seats or small bikes provided). Midday, join a family-friendly cooking class at the homestay: learn to make simple Vietnamese dishes and child-friendly versions of local favorites. Evening storytelling with your hosts about Mekong traditions.

Note: Bicycles and helmets available for children and adults.

Day4

Fishing, Bamboo Boat Ride & Cultural Exchange

Learn traditional casting net fishing with local fishermen — safe, hands-on experience for older kids with life jackets provided. Explore narrow creeks on a bamboo boat (small sampan) and visit a nearby school or artisan home for a cultural exchange. Afternoon craft session: make simple lanterns or river-themed souvenirs.

Important: Children must wear life jackets during all water activities.

Day5

Village Relaxation, River Sunset & Farewell Homestay Party

A relaxed morning to cycle or walk the village, visit a fruit orchard for picking, and enjoy river-side games. Late afternoon sunset cruise with juice and snacks — perfect for family photos. Evening farewell dinner with a small performance of local music and dancing hosted by the family.

Tip: Request a family photo package if you’d like professional photos during the cruise.

Day6

Transfer to Can Tho & Evening Market Stroll

After breakfast, transfer by road to Can Tho (approx. 2 hours). Check in to a family-friendly hotel near the river. Afternoon visit to Ninh Kieu Wharf for a leisurely walk and riverside parks. Explore a local night market for snacks and souvenirs — try small bites like local pancakes and river prawn skewers.

Note: Hotel rooms reserved with family amenities — baby cots or extra beds available on request.

Day7

Cai Rang Floating Market & Local Life

Early-morning visit to the famous Cai Rang Floating Market by private boat to see produce barges, fruit sellers, and lively trading — a highlight for family photographers. Visit a rice noodle workshop and enjoy a riverside brunch. Afternoon free time for rest or optional cyclo tour through Can Tho neighborhoods. Evening cultural performance or free family time at the hotel.

Important: The floating market is busiest early; plan for an early start (approx. 5:00–7:30 AM).

Day8

Return to Ho Chi Minh City & Departure

After breakfast, transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City. Depending on flight times, make a brief stop at a local coffee house or souvenir shop.
