After the excursion it is time to start the journey back to Saigon. From Cai Be we travel by road transfer back to Saigon.

Meals: breakfast, lunch
If you like to visit one of the floating markets in the Mekong Delta please inform us upon booking as this has to be reflected in the routing.
The floating markets in the Mekong Delta are no tourist markets but wholesale markets where produce of the Mekong Delta like fruits and vegetables are traded. For this reason the number of boats on the market fluctuates depending on harvesting seasons and market demand. Furthermore, modern wholesale markets are becoming more popular in Vietnam. This can result in decreasing numbers of boats being present on the markets.
