Your tour starts with a transfer from downtown Ho Chi Minh City to the Cai Be district in the morning. Arriving in Cai Be, you will be welcomed by your host and invited to enjoy some fresh fruits before embarking on a boat ride to Cai be floating market and traditional handicraft villages. Talk with the vendors on their boats, if you wish, and then head to your home stay on Tan Phong Island for check-in and lunch.
In the afternoon, your local host leads you to his orchards, where you can learn how to take care of the garden and pluck ripe fruit, just like your host does every day. Then visit the vegetable garden and gather veggies for your dinner, which you'll prepare for yourself with the help of your host.
