This tour provides excellent insight into the culture and life of Vietnamese people. Visit the local corners of Nha Trang and the picturesque countryside dotted with palm trees and fruit orchards where locals go about their daily lives.

Depart from your hotel and start the day with a visit to the spectacular Po Nagar Temple Tower dating from the 8th century.  This unique architecture is a symbol of Hindu Champa culture and remains a worship place for all religions. 

Wander through a small local alleyway to a boat builder’s house and board a riverboat.  Float past lush countryside, a boatyard that makes fishing boats and by a photogenic fishing fleet at a fishing village.

Time on the boat down the river is a real highlight of the journey. Disembark and visit a family who makes traditional clay stoves and another family that weaves rush mats for a living. Visit a colourful local market and a local school (closed on Sunday and public holidays).    

Head to lunch, stopping en-route amongst the rice fields to watch and photograph the farmers and buffaloes at work (season dependent). Enjoy lunch at a fabulous restaurant set in an “ancient house” on the banks of a tranquil and spectacular lotus pond.

After lunch drive back to your hotel.
