About the activity

Begin your journey on the river as the Cái Răng market awakens with its morning activities. Enjoy breakfast from a passing boat, featuring steaming noodle soup and strong Vietnamese coffee, while observing the quiet flow of river trade. Venture away from the main channel into narrow canals, passing by lush tropical gardens and homes situated close to the water's edge, offering a glimpse into daily life. Visit a family-run workshop where traditional rice noodles are still crafted by hand. Continue through the trees to a historic cacao garden, established in the 1960s.

a fabulous experience
707leoniem, October 2026
Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our floating market experience with Vy and Khang. Vy ensured every individuals needs were met, was extremely knowledgeable, answered questions, offered interesting insights and perspectives. She has a lovely genuine and warm nature generously sharing aspects of her life and culture to add depth to the experience and a lightness to the group dynamics. The combination of market, life on a house boat, traditional noodle making and organic cacao farm was well paced, fascinating and included delicious food and drinks. A special mention to our captain Khang who helped ensure everyone felt safe, assisted getting on and off boat, and provided everything we needed for comfort and shade. Vy also took great photos which she shared with us at end. We loved it and thoroughly recommend.
