The boat then travels through quiet small canals lined with water palms, coconut trees, and fruit orchards, offering a chance to see local nature and fruits. A short walk in My Khanh village allows guests to observe traditional homes and daily life. The tour continues with a 30-minute visit to the Muoi Cuong cocoa farm, where the only chocolate maker in Vietnam using his own method and recipe demonstrates the chocolate-making process.
