CRUISE
PROGRAMME
Upon
embarkation, clients are welcomed with fresh rolled
cotton towels.
The program will start with the visit of Cai Be colorful
floating market cruising among local barges full of
fruits and vegetables.
Further, a visit will be done at an ancient Mandarin
house dating from the 19th century where you will be
greeted by the family.
We will proceed to Phu An, an untouched remote area
reflecting some of the best sights the Mekong Delta can
offer. On the way, an optional stop can be made at local
home factories where you can see how rice paste and rice
popcorn are made.
A delicious lunch will be served at Le Longanier, a
superb Indochinese villa located in a lush tropical
plantation, by the river.
(*) Set menu lunch: Vegetable Soup, Le Longanier Fried
Spring rolls, Fried Mekong Elephant Ear Fish, Fried
Mixed Vegetables with Pork, Caramelized Pork in Clay
Pot, Seasonal Fresh Fruits. (For other menus, please
contact us.)
After lunch, your sampan will cruise deeper into the
country side on smaller canals and arroyos passing under
several small traditional bridges made by wood and
bamboos. Stops can be made during the cruise to visit
some fruit markets and plantations on the banks
(bananas, water melon, and longans), an opportunity to
make contacts with local inhabitants. Along the river,
local houses are still traditionally made of wood and
palm tree leaves. On the river banks, you will observe
some very large rice fields while cruising between
numerous suspended fishing nets, an ancestral way of
fishing in the Mekong Delta.
The cruise will end at around 3pm at Phu Nhuan Bridge
near Cai Lay.
(*)
An optional bicycle tour can be arranged on the banks,
through the country side.
