🚤 Can Tho Floating Market Tour – Authentic Half-Day Experience (2025)

Start your morning with the most iconic experience in Southern Vietnam: the Can Tho Floating Market Tour.

At 5:45 AM, our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Can Tho and transfer you to the pier to board a traditional boat.

🌅 Sunrise on the Mekong River

As you cruise along, witness a beautiful sunrise over the Mekong River – a magical moment to start your day.

🛶 Cai Rang Floating Market

Arrive at Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the most famous floating markets in Vietnam. Here, you’ll enjoy a traditional Vietnamese breakfast right on the boat: rice noodle soup, Bánh Mì, or Bánh Bao – just like the locals!

Your guide will share stories about the market’s history and how it became a vital part of daily life in Can Tho.

🍍 Taste Fresh Pineapple & Visit a Rice Noodle Factory

Stop by a boat vendor to taste the freshest pineapple you’ll ever eat. Then, visit a traditional rice noodle workshop, where you’ll see how noodles are made from scratch — cooking, drying, cutting, and packing.

🌴 Small Canals & Countryside Walk

Cruise through peaceful small canals lined with coconut palms and mangroves. Enjoy a walk through a quiet village to see the real daily life of the Mekong people — friendly locals, traditional wooden homes, and green gardens.

🍫 Organic Cacao Farm Experience

The final stop is a local cacao farm. Learn how Can Tho farmers grow cacao and turn it into chocolate, wine, and beauty products. Don’t miss the chance to taste fresh cacao milk and try cacao wine.

⏰ Tour ends around 11:30 AM (depending on the tides).
