Mekong Delta cycling and homestay 2 Days

Leave Ho Chi Minh City behind for 2 hour drive to the delta town of Cai Be, known for its floating markets.  During your car journey into the delta region, stop for a stretch and wander at a local Cao Dai Temple, home to a religion that blends Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and a bit of Christianity! Arriving in Cai Be, although the busiest time is from very early morning, where all vendors from different province in Mekong gathering here for trading, you might still spot locals tossing watermelons or pineapple between their boats. Embark a day cruise then continue cruising along the maze of narrow canals, leading to a local family producing rice paper. Using traditional methods, the family here can show you how they create their Vietnamese culinary’s key ingredient for signature dish – spring roll!

Continue the day with a leisurely cycle around the village, stopping to visit a family who use coconut leaves to thatch house roofs. Then take a sampan to enjoy the charming Mekong scenery before enjoying a late lunch in a local house. If time permits, you might have chance to watch a demonstration of how to make a favourite Vietnamese specialty - banh xeo, or a Vietnamese savoury pancake!

After lunch, head to Can Tho, capital city of Mekong Delta by car and arrive at your homestay two hours later with a warm welcome from Mr Muoi Cuong and his friendly family. After settling in, enjoy interaction with local family and preparing dinner with your hosts, learning how to make traditional Vietnamese cuisine.
