Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 30-minute drive of the lodge:

• Vinh Long Floating Market: One of the most authentic floating markets in the Mekong Delta, this bustling waterway hub lets you watch local vendors sell fresh tropical fruit, handmade crafts, and hot street food from their wooden boats. Take a small rowing tour to sample ripe mangoes and coconut candy straight from the source.
• Cái Bè Fruit Orchards: Wander sprawling shaded orchards growing dozens of varieties of delta fruit, from durian and mangosteen to rambutan and pomelo. Many orchards offer free samples and host home-cooked Mekong-style lunches for visitors.
• Bình Minh Ancient Pagoda: A 19th-century Buddhist temple tucked between coconut groves, this peaceful site features intricate traditional Vietnamese wood carvings and quiet courtyards, offering a glimpse into local spiritual life.

Travel Tips

Since the lodge offers no on-site parking, most travelers book the lodge’s paid airport transfer from Can Tho International Airport, roughly an hour’s drive away, or arrange a boat transfer if you’re arriving via delta river cruise. Bring lightweight, breathable clothing and insect repellent for outdoor activities and bike rides. Book your cooking class and cultural tour in advance through the front desk to secure a spot, and don’t leave without trying the lodge’s homemade Mekong coconut caramel for a sweet souvenir.
