Nature Reservation and Largest Floating Market Experiences

Embark on a sampan and witness the vibrant trading activities of Cairang Floating Market, the largest floating market in Vietnam. Goods exchanged include fresh fruits and vegetables, such as pineapples and mangos.  Experience a unique breakfast, ordering from floating restaurants and cafes which offer delicious noodle soup and strong Vietnamese coffee—a perfect combination to start your day.

We will then cruise into the jungle through small, yet complex canal systems, which provide a serene home to diverse flora and fauna. Allow yourself time to relax and meditate on this tranquil part of the trip.  This landscape provides a glimpse into typical river life along the Mekong. We cruise into the meandering canals of Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve, which is surrounded by water hyacinth and water lettuce covering the surface. You will especially see wild honey bee hives in nature and learn about the vital role they play in local agriculture, while we glide through the wetlands and flooded forests. We will then climb to the observatory to contemplate how thousands of diverse birds fill the sky and listen to melodic songs such as herons, cormorants, stock, kingfishers, black coucals, swamphen, yellow bitterns. Lung Ngoc Hoang stands as a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife aficionados.
