Amazing views - slightly more touristy than expected but still worth it. We didn’t opt for a cruise but instead asked an old lady if she would take us for a fraction of the price. I would recommend that visitors ask locals for a tour as opposed to the big tour boats.

A great morning to know about the new things, new culture and wonderful moments! Love the breakfast with the special taste! Enjoy…

We were interested for the trip to this market. Actually, it is a wholesale market with many local merchants from villages coming to buy and sell their fruits like pineapple, watermelon, mango and vegetable. The best part of the market is to see how people live and trade their fruits at middle of river. Additionally, my mom really like to enjoy pineapple, mangosteen and delicious noodle soup (must try all). Finally, our family also visited chocolate factory, noodle village and fruits garden. All were awesome. I highly recommend our lovely guide, he has a wide range of knowledge and so charming (his whatsapp +84936427369)

We wake up so early to get the market by sampan boat. We cruised into floating market to see many vendor who sell vegetable and fruits like watermelon, pineapple. We do feel the market still really big with around 100 boats selling fruits but quite hard and boring for people staying and sleep on the boat. Our guide said they consider the boat like house so they always live on the boat. I sometimes saw some kids, chickens and televison on their boat, this is so impressing for us. Then, we also go to wild canal, rural villages and visit some factories. The trip is quite expensive but really worth each penny. We have a very small group only four of us, our guide was lovely and wide range of knowledge, he invited so much yummy fruits like jackfruits, mangosteen, pineapple.

Our family booked the trip to market via Then, he organised the fantastic trip for us with a lovely and knowledge tourguide. Firstly, Clare came to our hotel to pick up and bring us to a sampan boat, we spent only 2 minutes to get the market with many fruit boats. Our guide bought for us two pineapples, which are so delicious like someone put sugar inside. Then, we also got coffee and noodle souple for breakfast. This is the best breakfast I never have before. Afterthat, we cruised into small wild canals and villages. It is really beautiful with many water hyacinth and watee coconut surrounding. This is the best part of our trip as we met local people who picked up some delicous fruits from their garden for us. Highly recommended mangoateen and star apple for try. Finally, we stopped at cocoa factory and noodle factories. All are awesome. I highly recommened you take the trip with Then (her whatsapp is +83936427369, she is really lovely, knowledged and the trip is comepletely authentic.

We visited Cai Rang floating market when join our cruise from Caibe-Cantho by Mekong Eyes cruise. It's worth a visit though the market was not as crowded as expected!

The market is very interesting with many fruit boats and floating cafe and restaurant. We had the best coffee and noodle never had before. We also visited fruit garden, small rivers and lotus farm. All was just amazing. Highly recommend for anyone book the trip with Ten, he is 10/10 for make you have unique experiences (his number +84939480468)

Our guide picked up from our hotel and we got the floating market around 7 am. The market is just amazing with over 200 merchant boats. They sell many different tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple, rambutan etc. I advised you should come with a local guide to help you connect with local people, we are lucky with our great guide, he invited us with cafe sua da and noodle soup as well as bought alot of fruits for us. Then, we cruised into small canals and walking at local villages, we were offered with some fresh fruits on the garden by local people. After that, we stopped at local factory to make noodle to finish the perfect adventure. The trip is abit expensive but really worth each penny. Highly recommended You can contact with Ken via his whatsaap +84936427369 to book the trip

Mr Toan from Boutique Homestay took us in his own boat - gave us a good commentary on the Market dynamics . We also enjoyed a wonderful Vietnamese breakfast on the boat . Bought a few items from the wholesale Floating boats . The Cai Rang markets are dwindling in size as the Govt is encouraging other wholesale markets with better transport facilities . Early start at 5.30 am - and boating on the mighty Mekong Delta was a pleasant experience. Mr Toan thereafter takes us to the Land market where fish, & produce is sold. More interactive with bikes, scooters and Fresh crabs, squid, snake, fish, and even field rats on sale .

Cai Rang Floating Market is also a wholesale market specializing in buying and selling vegetables of the region. Group market from 2-3 am, busiest around 4-6 am, trading activities take place all day. Because it is a wholesale market, goods are concentrated here in relatively large quantities. Each item has been graded for uniformity in quality and size. The main means of transportation and cargo transportation are boats. Immersed in the bustling atmosphere of the market, visitors can observe and learn about the activities of many merchant families with many generations living on the boat. Each boat is a house on the river with flower pots, pets, full amenities such as color TV, CD player, sound system... including motorbikes parked on the boat. The form of buying and selling on the market is to hang a "butterfly" instead of a signboard. Usually, the selling boat will put up a pot of any plant to distinguish it from the buying boat

We were in Cai Be to view the floating market, but that one had dwindled to about 9 boats, so we decided to stay a night in Can Tho, get up early to visit the floating market there, but we're very disappointed. It was small with only around 25 boats, mainly selling fruit, with very little atmosphere. It very much felt like it was dying. There were more tourist boats than merchants, and the river was filthy with rubbish. Unless they find a way to cater to the tourists (like they have done in Thailand), it will die out. I would recommend giving it a miss.

The floating market is located on Can Tho River (part of Hau River), Cai Rang District – about 6 km away from the center of Can Tho City in the direction of Soc Trang, or around 45 minutes away from Ninh Kieu Quay by boat. In 2016, Cai Rang Floating Market was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. The market was also elected as one of the most impressive markets in the world by UK’s Rough Guide. Once you visit Mekong, floating market is a kind of things should not miss in your travel plan. To experience Cai Rang at its best, get up early and take a boat trip, it is really worth for your day visit.

Thank you Jimmy for being a good host for a small team to entertain. Great day out with a bit of variety of things happening and opportunities to cool down

Kelvin is THE BEST guide I've ever experienced!!! He is an absolute gem! Kelvin is extremely well suited to lead tours for families with children and grandparents. He is very sweet and thoughtful, lovely company and did everything possible to make our trip comfortable, Kelvin's language skills are brilliant and his local knowledge having lived in the area was priceless, We had an absolutely fantastic day and wouldn't hesitate recommending Kelvin to anyone!

Cai Rang is one of the few remaining floating markets. It has become pretty small with the years, around 30 boats now. Wake up early (be at the market at 6 am at the latest) to enjoy the best atmosphere of the place. This is defi Italy a place to visit when in the meopng delta, we did it on a 2 days trip.from Ho Chi Minh City.
