Cai Rang Floating Market

Board the Victoria hotel’s 'junk' for a luxurious breakfast cruising down the Mekong to the Cai Rang floating market where a mass of boats converge to trade.

Afterwards, you board a smaller boat which will enable you to weave among the boats and see the buying and selling process close up and even allowing you to join in if you wish!

You then leave the main river to explore a family run noodle factory which is located down one of the many canals that criss-cross the area.

You return to the main quay in Can Tho by small boat at around 10am. This trip begins at approximately 6.15am to catch the market in full swing.
