This 2-day
trip offers a glimpse into the agrarian life of the
vibrant southern Delta region as we wind our way through
the tributaries of the Mekong Delta. From our boats, we
are able to closely observe the daily rituals of river

activities as we buy our fruits from the floating
market. Along the way, we will visit an orchard farm,
handicraft village, and a land market with an abundance
of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables.
