Overview
A special departure on one date only – 10 October 2026, the day of the 2026 Bảy Núi Ox Racing Festival in An Giang. This is a genuine Khmer community festival rather than a commercial show, so you celebrate side by side with local people.
Leaving Cần Thơ at 03:00, you have breakfast in Châu Đốc, watch the ox races and visit the Bà Chúa Xứ Temple on Núi Sam, then cruise the Hậu River to Châu Phong Cham village for lunch and a xe lôi ride through traditional Cham workshops.
Late afternoon brings the Ngũ Sắc floating fish-farm village, followed by a grilled-beef dinner and the return to your Cần Thơ meeting point at around 20:00. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, entrance tickets, boat, xe lôi and an English-speaking guide are all included.
