Ninh Kieu Wharf
On the Private Mekong Delta Tour, you have 2 options meeting up with the guide at 5 am or 7 am. If you choose 5am, then you can have breakfast after coming back to your hotel from the floating market. If you choose 7am, you should have breakfast before meeting the guide. For the clear information, even though Cai Rang Floating Market is opened all day but the perfect time to catch real lively scenery is around 6 am. And the most colorful time is absolutely during the time of 1 or 3 weeks before the Lunar New Year. It takes about 30’ for cruising along Hau river from Ninh Kieu wharf, you surely have freedom to try any tropical fruits, drinks or even hot rice noodle soup which is called “hu tieu” as your light breakfast, just as the way “Master Chef “ Gordon Ramsay highly recommended.
