2 days
Ho Chi Minh, Cai Be, Vinh Long
.webp)
Leave Ho Chi Minh City for two days of river journeys, orchard paths and a welcoming homestay evening. Travel through Cai Be and Tan Phong Island, cross to An Binh Island and finish among the stalls of Vinh Long market. The best moments are often the simplest: a quiet canal, a fruit picked in season, a conversation with your guide and dinner you helped prepare with your hosts.
2 days · 1 night on An Binh Island · return to Ho Chi Minh City. This is a homestay and countryside journey, with boat trips and gentle walking or cycling. You stay in the Delta between the two days, with time to settle into village life instead of making a second return journey from the city.
Tell us your Ho Chi Minh City hotel, travel dates and onward plans. We will fit this overnight escape into your Vietnam holiday and match the activities and room comfort to your party. Plan my Mekong homestay with Vietpower Travel.
| Day 1 |

From Cai Be, follow the broad Tien River before slipping into smaller waterways. A hand-rowed boat brings you closer to shaded banks and the everyday rhythm of island life. On Tan Phong, explore quiet lanes on foot or by bicycle, stopping at orchards and homes where local crafts are still part of the working day.
Continue across the river to An Binh and arrive at your homestay with time to shower and unwind. Join your hosts in the kitchen, learn how a local dish comes together and enjoy dinner without rushing back to the city. The overnight stay makes room for the small exchanges that turn a sightseeing trip into a personal memory.
Your included room is a private fan-cooled room. Prefer air conditioning or a different comfort level? Tell us before booking so your sales consultant can include the right room option in your personalised quote. Photos show the countryside and homestay experience; your named accommodation and room facilities are confirmed with your booking.
On the second morning, meet the people behind rice paper, coconut sweets and puffed rice, then see the region’s brick and pottery traditions and river fish farming. Finish at Vinh Long’s land market, where fruit, vegetables and seafood bring the Delta’s daily trade into view. Your guide helps turn the sights into stories, before your private road transfer returns you to Ho Chi Minh City.
Cai Be’s historic floating market is no longer an operating stop on this programme. This tour focuses on island life and a homestay night. If an early-morning floating market is your priority, explore our Ben Tre–Can Tho two-day tour with Cai Rang; the overnight location and journey are different. We will help you choose the experience that fits your holiday.
