Highlights
- Cai Be Floating Market - Cai Be is a delightful little town, conveniently located just about two hours’ drive from Saigon. The area is adorned with vibrant orchards and gardens, and is home to traditional handicrafts.\n\nEmbark on a journey to the local wet market, then set sail to a floating market \- a genuine marketplace established by the locals to meet their own needs rather than for touristic display, and officially opened by the government.\n\nSubsequently, venture to Tan Phong islet, often referred to as the lush ‘green pearl’ nestled in the Tien river, to visit various traditional workshops. Here, you’ll discover the process of making coconut candy, puffed rice popcorn, rice paper, and visit a honey bee farm. Stroll through the fruit-laden orchards to a quaint lotus tea house to experience authentic South West regional music.\n\nAfterwards, unwind on a leisurely rowboat ride through the serene apple mangrove canal, capturing the quintessential tranquility of the Mekong Delta and engaging with the amiable boat rowers to gain insight into the local way of life.\n\nCai Be’s network of petite canals is perfect for exploration via sampan, allowing for intimate tours along the narrow pathways flanked by minor waterways. The dense foliage often conceals these tributaries, creating the illusion of seclusion, but the journey continues beyond the verdant twists and turns.\n\nThis quaint town is a popular destination for day visitors from Saigon.
