Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind, you head to the rustic countryside around the Mekong Delta. Upon arrival, board the private 'Song Xanh', a small but luxurious boat that takes you through the narrow canals and tributaries with ease. The cruise begins with a visit to some local home factories where you can see how rice paste, coconut candies and other local specialties are traditionally made. Lunch awaits at the home of Mr. Huynh Thuy Le, “The lover” of Marguerite Duras famous novel. Back on board, cruise down to Can Tho along a beautiful narrow canal and pass under wooden “monkey bridges” and tiny typically Vietnamese villages.
