Breakfast at the hotel, then we take a boat trip to visit a floating fish farm as well as a Cham weaving village. Then we continue to Tra Su cajuput forest. This is the highlight of the trip to the Mekong delta which is renowned for not only its almost-untouched natural beauty. But also its sanctuary of floras and faunas. What could be more memorable to take a boat trip into the forest? You will immediately feel like you are harmonizing with nature because of all of the impressive pictures of the cajuputs. Especially standing from the observation post, where you can overlook the forest with an area of nearly 900 ha, home to many birds and animals, including some rare ones.

Having lunch in the forest is a great experience for all-natural lovers. Take a nap on a hammock or enjoy some coffee before we return to Ho Chi Minh city. Tour ends at your hotel by late afternoon.
