Itinerary:

Start at about 0800AM, after around 3-hours-drive from busting Saigon, we stop at a local market, before boarding on a boat for visiting a local Coconut River Market. Take chances to observe lively activities of trading boats filled with coconut, coconut processing, and learn the difference between on-land and floating market. You then have a short walk on the narrow village lane to a local family. Chat with them about their daily routine, the local culture, custom and why don’t you let a local fortune-teller tell you what is supposed to happen in the future while enjoying the tropical fruit.

Following is a rowing boat through the crisscross canals; an easy cycling or motor-cart in peaceful rural road to visit a local workshop making brooms and producingcoconut fiber factory. Lunch with Mekong specialties is served at local riverside restaurant. After a short break, the boat will take you to the pier where the waiting driver will transfer you back to Saigon.
