Itinerary
8:00 AM or 2:00 PM — Hotel pick-up
Your guide picks you up at your hotel in Can Tho and takes you to the boat station for the short transfer to Cồn Sơn Islet and its community-based tourism area.
Boat ride to Cồn Sơn
Cross the river by boat and arrive on the islet, where local households, gardens and floating fish farms are part of everyday life.
Visit a floating fish farm on the Hậu River
Begin with a boat trip around the local floating fish-farming community. See how families live and work on the river and learn about freshwater fish raised in the area.
Visit a Cồn Sơn fruit garden
Visit a local fruit garden and experience seasonal Mekong Delta fruit such as rambutan, guava and rose apple. Depending on the season, the fruit available may vary.
Flying snakehead fish show
Visit another local house for the flying snakehead fish show. The fish are trained to leap high from the water to catch bait, creating one of the more unusual experiences on the islet.
Make homemade traditional cakes
Join local families to make traditional cakes and spend time in a typical Can Tho home and garden. The experience is hands-on and centred around local food and everyday life.
12:00 PM or 6:00 PM — Return to the mainland
