• By vehicle from Saigon to Can Tho with sightseeing in My Tho and a boat ride to Mekong River islands
From Saigon, transfer to My Tho, a bustling town in the rich agricultural region of the Mekong Delta and visit the Vinh Trang Pagoda, a beautiful temple and a sanctuary for orphans and other needy children. Afterwards board a local boat to explore the islands of the Mekong, stopping at a fruit orchard to enjoy fruit and tea while listening to local music. The trip also includes a brief sampan ride through the tiny waterways that thread the island. From My Tho, continue onwards through the Mekong Delta to Can Tho.
• Overnight in Can Tho.
• Excursion by boat to Cai Rang Floating Market
In the early morning, set out by boat to explore CAI RANG FLOATING MARKET, the biggest and most bustling of the Mekong Delta markets, which attracts fruit and vegetable vendors from all over the region. Buyers on smaller boats weave between the large barges selling wholesale produce. Each vendor advertises fresh samples of their wares on long poles that tower overhead above the colorful boats. Sail through the market, watching people haggle and trade, and possibly sample some of the fruit yourself. By 9 am, the activity has died down and it is time to return to the pier, after exploring some of the backwaters and canals.
• By vehicle from Can Tho to Chau Doc
• Excursion to Sam Mountain
SAM MOUNTAIN rises sharply from the surrounding rice paddies. Considered one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Vietnam, the mountain is dotted with pagodes and temples, many of them inside caves. Visit LADY CHUA XU PAGODA at the base and continue up shallow stairways along the mountain, visiting other pagodes as you ascend. At the mountain's peak, enjoy panoramic views over the surrounding countryside, stretching all the way to the Cambodian border.
• Overnight in Chau Doc.
• Excursion by boat to the floating villages
Explore bustling river life around Chau Doc, visiting the FLOATING VILLAGES, whose inhabitants live and work all their lives on the river.

Continue to the distinctive CHAM VILLAGE, on the other side of the river, with its thriving Muslim community. By vehicle from Chau Doc to Saigon
