Mekong Delta Floating Market Tour from Ho Chi Minh City: Cai RangA two-day tour from Ho Chi Minh City into the Mekong Delta that centers on Cai Rang Floating Market, the region's largest, where you ride through boats stacked with produce and watch the daily haggle of river commerce. You'll also visit Cai Be for handicraft makers, take a rowing boat through mangrove canals, stay overnight at an ecolodge on the river, and spend your second afternoon in a cooking class making Vietnamese pancakes. Groups stay under ten people, and a guide leads in English throughout.Is it for me?Choose the private tour if you want to set your own pace and have the guide's full attention; the Premier Group option works better if you're looking to meet other travelers and share the cost. Either way, the small group size means you're not competing with dozens of other visitors at the floating market, and the overnight stay on the river lets you experience the Mekong as locals do, not as a day-tripper passing through.
