Tour Plan

DAY 1

Transfer to Saigon’s central pier to board your speedboat. As you cruise along the lush green tributaries of the Mekong Delta, enjoy a light breakfast featuring pastries or sandwiches, tropical fruits, and refreshing Vietnamese iced coffee (cà phê sữa đá).

Your first stop is Cần Giuộc Market, a lively riverside market that offers a fascinating glimpse into daily life in the Delta—bursting with colors, aromas, and vibrant local activity. As the boat continues downstream, you’ll notice the scenery gradually shifting from bright water-palm landscapes to the dusky, atmospheric mangrove forests of Cần Giờ. At the Giant Bat Lagoon, a gentle rowing boat will take you deeper into the tranquil wetland, followed by a short trek into the mangrove jungle. Then continues at Vàm Sát Eco Park, where you can observe monkeys in their natural habitat, try your hand at crab fishing, and enjoy bird-watching opportunities for both local and migratory species. A second walk through the mangroves allows you to fully immerse yourself in this unique ecosystem.

After a trip surrounded by nature, your speedboat cruises back to Saigon. Conclude your tour with a delicious southern-style bowl of phở at Vị Phở restaurant, a flavorful and aromatic finish to your day.
