Enter the dynamic city of Cai Rang and be taken into the heart of Can Tho Mekong Boat Tours. With its interesting floating market, Cai Rang opens a window to real life and culture in the Mekong Delta. Here, the river becomes a marketplace wherein the locals sell fresh fruits and vegetables, household items, and a range of unique regional goods, turning the atmosphere into color and vibrancy- something that no Mekong tour would miss. Besides this, the tour programs allow guests to join in with the life of the delta-think cycling through green canals, communicating with friendly locals, or experiencing the region’s rich traditions. A visit to Cai Rang exposes one to the heart of the river culture of Vietnam. Join us for the most unforgettable Mekong Tour and let magic unfold in the delta!
Among the Can Tho Mekong Boat Tours highlights not to be missed, one finds the Cai Rang Floating Market. Just imagine how beautiful it would be to get there at sunrise when the river would gradually fill up with boats carrying colorful displays of tropical fruits, vegetables, and household items. Vendors eagerly display their goods, using often the traditional “cây bẹo," a bamboo pole that supports what’s on sale, maybe fresh pineapples or watermelons you can see at one glance what’s on offer. Morning markets are an explosion of color sound and life that captures the heart of delta culture and makes it a central feature of Mekong Tours.
Beyond the vibrancy of this trading in the market, the Can Tho Mekong Boat Tours can indeed provide a truly immersive cultural experience. You will witness the daily life of the Mekong Delta while passing by riverside houses and busy boats. You could even possibly participate in this custom of “trading on the river," where you taste the freshness from off the boats and watch the interaction going on between buyer and seller in such a dynamic manner. This will provide a very good opportunity to be with the locals and understand their way of life, hence making the tour culture rich.
Cai Rang Floating Market
One of the highs of the Can Tho Mekong Boat Tours is the interaction with the natives. The fresh produce can be tasted right there from the boats, and one can interact with the buying and selling of the vendors and the culture in general that persists there on the river. People from Cai Rang are warm and open to tell stories and show their wares.
It would not be a complete tour if one did not take in some of the Mekong Delta’s Natural Beauty. As one travels further along, the landscape opens up with lush greenery, narrow canals lined with coconut palms, and an assortment of birdlife-a nature lover’s paradise. The waterways of the Mekong Delta form part of a unique ecosystem that keeps this vibrant way of life going, and it is a wonder to see from the perspective of the boat. Every Mekong Tour reveals something new about this fascinating region, making every moment an adventure.

About to join our Can Tho Mekong Boat Tours? Well, here is what you need to know to make the most of this incredible adventure!
The best time to visit Mekong Tours is from December to April because during this period, the weather is perfect, and the humidity is not so high. Additionally, the river conditions are just right for fantastic boat cruises through the colorful Cai Rang Floating Market. For the most lively market experience, the early mornings, especially starting at 6:00 AM up until 9:00 AM, are filled with busy boats and the freshest produce found anywhere.
Dress in light and comfortable clothes, as the Mekong Delta can get quite warm and humid. We recommend light, breathable attire, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses. One should not forget sunscreen, insect repellent, and a refillable water bottle. Since you will be out on the water, the camera needs waterproof protection to take beautiful sights while on your tour in the Can Tho Mekong Boat Tours.
Our Can Tho Mekong Boat Tours give ample opportunity for this contact, which means attitude and respect are key. While communicating with the vendors around the floating market, remember that a smile does wonders. Always ask for permission before taking shots of people, and be patient because locals love taking things slow. Respect towards local customs will enhance your experience further and make acquaintance with the friendly inhabitants of the Mekong Delta.

All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
