☕ Breakfast on the River
Instead of sitting in a conventional restaurant, enjoy breakfast right on the boat while drifting along the river. Sample local favorites such as “shaken noodles” & aromatic Vietnamese braised coffee while taking in the sights & sounds of the bustling waterways

It is a wonderful opportunity to experience the Mekong not simply as a visitor, but through the rhythms of everyday local life

Traditional Hu Tieu Workshop
Continue to a traditional workshop & discover how Hu Tieu, one of southern Vietnam's favorite noodle dishes, is produced

Fruit Gardens, Monkey Bridge & Local Activities
Stroll through the village & explore its lush gardens, where seasonal tropical fruits grow in abundance. Pick fresh fruit when available, meet local residents & cross the traditional monkey bridge for a fun Mekong-style experience

12:00 PM – The Unique “Flying Menu” Lunch
