About this tour
The crew will welcome you with a cold towel as the Kaibe Princess sampan departs for a leisurely cruise along the lively waterways.
Board a small rowboat on Tan Phong Island and explore the mangrove forest along the canal.
Return to the sampan and enjoy a cup of tea and seasonal fruit while admiring the local life and stunning riverside scenery from the comfort of the sampan.
After visiting a 19th-century traditional house, learning how to make coconut candy, rice paper, and rice puffs (a local version of popcorn), and seeing products that support the lives of people living in the Mekong Delta, the cruise ends at Le Longanier restaurant.
Enjoy lunch in the lush tropical garden of a stylish colonial-style villa.
A waitress wearing an Ao Dai will carefully serve each dish.
Located by the river and surrounded by fruit trees, our lunch restaurant will transport you back to Indochinese times.
After lunch, take a short walk along a small canal towards Bourbon Bridge before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City.
