    Itinerary

    Pick up

    Your Son Islet Tour starts when your guide meets you at your Can Tho hotel at 9:00 AM or 2:00 PM. Enjoy a scenic drive through peaceful riverside landscapes as you head toward authentic Mekong Delta experiences.

    Binh Thuy Ancient Temple

    Visit this 19th-century architectural gem dedicated to Binh Hung village's guardian spirit. Admire the intricate woodcarvings and Vietnamese-Chinese design while your guide shares stories of local traditions and spiritual heritage in the incense-scented courtyard.

    Uncle Bay Bon's Floating Fish Farm

    From Co Bac ferry terminal, board a traditional boat for a captivating journey to Uncle Bay Bon's Fish Farm floating on the Hau River. This extraordinary experience provides an intimate look at the innovative aquaculture methods used by local farmers to raise native Mekong species. As your boat gently approaches the floating homesteads, welcoming fishermen will share their deep knowledge of river life and sustainable farming practices. Cap off this unique visit with an optional Koi fish foot massage – a delightfully ticklish and therapeutic experience as tiny fish naturally exfoliate your feet.

    Tropical Fruit Garden Experience

    Return to shore and meander along peaceful village pathways to a lush tropical fruit orchard. Here, you'll taste an array of seasonal treasures – perhaps sweet rambutans, crisp rose apples, or other exotic varieties – harvested at perfect ripeness. Your hospitable host will invite you to pick and sample fruit directly from the trees, delivering pure, sun-drenched flavors that embody the essence of the Mekong Delta.

    Vietnamese Traditional Cakes

    Continue your culinary journey by learning the time-honored art of Vietnamese cake preparation alongside skilled local artisans. Under patient guidance, you'll craft and taste cherished Mekong specialties, gaining hands-on appreciation for the region's rich gastronomic heritage.

    Pop Rice Creation Workshop

    Visit another welcoming local home to discover the captivating process of making traditional "pop rice." Watch as ordinary rice grains transform through heating in authentic clay ovens, creating delightfully crunchy, aromatic puffed rice. Savor the freshly made pop rice while experiencing the simple pleasures that bring families and neighbors together.

    Flying Snakehead Fish Performance

    Conclude your tour with the spectacular flying snakehead fish demonstration, an extraordinary tradition unique to Son Islet. Watch in wonder as skilled local performers encourage these remarkable fish to leap dramatically from the water in pursuit of food. This mesmerizing display represents both entertainment and the profound relationship between the Mekong people and their river home. Following this unforgettable performance, board your return boat to complete your Con Son islet adventure and journey back to Can Tho.

        What a surprisingly fun day trip – it was nice being back out on the river, but also get a chance to see how the locals live in the Mekong Delta and also support local families with your tourism dollars. The fish farm was great fun and the lunch was the best tour meal we’ve had in all of our travels through Vietnam.
