Escape the city and immerse yourself in the peaceful countryside of Lai Vung, Đồng Tháp, with an exclusive, non-touristy farm lifestyle experience. This full-day tour invites you to step into the daily life of a traditional southern Vietnamese farming family — not as a visitor, but as a friend.
After hotel pickup in Can Tho, enjoy a scenic drive past rice paddies, waterways, and quiet villages. Upon arrival at the family home, be welcomed with fresh fruit or local tea and introduced to the orchard and traditional farming lifestyle.
Walk through the family’s longan, plum, and seasonal fruit gardens. Learn how farmers manage the orchard, care for trees, and work with nature in different seasons. Help with tasks such as pruning, weeding, watering, or collecting fallen fruits (depending on season).
To ensure authenticity and comply with ethical standards, activities focus only on plant-based and agricultural tasks, such as preparing the soil for new crops, planting vegetables or herbs, learning about rice cultivation and participating in non-harmful tasks around rice fields, watering and caring for fruit trees or garden plants, harvesting seasonal produce (if available), and learning how rural families store, process, and use farm products.
These activities change naturally with the family’s farming schedule and the weather, ensuring your experience is real and meaningful.
Using ingredients from the garden and fresh local produce, join the family in preparing a traditional Vietnamese countryside meal. Learn cooking methods passed down through generations and enjoy your homemade lunch surrounded by nature.
After lunch, relax in a hammock, walk through the orchard, or chat with the host family about rural life, traditions, and culture. This peaceful moment gives you a deeper understanding of what makes the Mekong Delta unique.
At the end of the afternoon, say goodbye to the family before returning comfortably to Can Tho.
