As our boat navigates through the crowded waterways, you'll see vendors on larger boats selling goods to smaller boats filled with local shoppers. Boats display their goods on poles (like bananas, pineapples, and watermelon ..) so buyers know what’s for sale. Enjoying the boat ride, we will have our breakfast on the boat by buying some breakfast from the smaller boats which offer hot meals like pho, sticky rice, and Vietnamese coffee. These floating eateries add to the bustling, colorful atmosphere and are a great way to enjoy an authentic breakfast right on the river. After breakfast, we will walk down the boat to the local market to visit the colorful activities in the morning and visit the rice paper-making, and noodle workshops. These add-ons give you a broader view of life in the Mekong Delta and local production.

Then, the next destination is the Tra Su forest. A small boat will take you deep into the Tra Su Melaleuca forest. The green landscape of melaleuca, duckweed, and lotus has never failed to leave an unforgettable impression on anyone who visits Tra Su. The allure of Vietnam's nature has always been the nation's pride.
