Fresh coconut juice will be served, then check into your room. Take a rest for a while, then depart with a family member for an introduction to local fishing.
Return to the restaurant at the end of the afternoon and participate in a cooking class: “Bánh xèo” - Vietnamese pancake made from rice milk. Dinner is ready to serve with fresh dishes that include local vegetable, ingredients, and flavors cooked in local style, such as caramelized pork, fish soup, spring roll…

Day 2: River Cruise – Coconut Villages
After breakfast, you will cruise along the Ham Luong River, visiting small factories that provide an insight into how the local economy works. Stops include a coconut processing workshop where you can sample fresh coconut and see how every single part of this versatile nut is turned into food and other products, and a broom-making family, where brooms are made using coconut leaves – you can even have a go at weaving yourself!
Stop at a peaceful village for a short walk to see more of local life in the community before travelling by bicycle or xe loi, a design of cyclo used only in the Delta, before taking a rowing boat along narrow canals back to the main boat. Return to the Mekong Home, then have lunch.

Subject to availability, visit a workshop of baskets made of coconut stems and a coconut processing operation. You will have a chance to interact with the workshop owner on different braiding techniques.
Then return to the bicycles and cross a local Mekong River ferry to reach the island. From there, cycling on small paths dotted with small huts hidden in lush vegetation, while seeing the daily life of the inhabitants of the Mekong Delta, governed by artisanal and agricultural activities.
