Ho Chi Minh city: Cai Rang Floating Market & Local Island Craft

Named one of the world's most impressive markets by the UK's Rough Guide, Cai Rang Floating Market is the largest and most famous floating market in Can Tho, heart of the Mekong Delta. Can Tho may look like a busy city, with trade flowing down the Hau River — but stay a while on its leafy banks, taste sun-ripened fruit and fresh river fish, glide through quiet canals by sampan, and you'll discover there's more to it. Misty sunrises, lazy hammock afternoons, and warm evenings filled with insect song — under the Mekong Delta's bright blue sky, Can Tho leaves a lasting impression. Highlights: - Wake up to the floating market experience - Cruise the Mekong river and meet locals to learn about the "River of the Nine Dragons" - Enjoy breakfast right on the floating market - Try your hand at making rice vermicelli - Sample fresh tropical fruits - Visit a floating fish farm and try the fish foot massage - Watch the flying snakehead fish performance - Join locals in making traditional cakes
