What makes this experience unique?
This experience opens up a "slow Saigon" on the Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe Canal, where the bustling city seems to fade into the background. On the calm water, you not only admire the scenery but also feel the gentler pace of life – through the breeze, the sunset, and rare moments of tranquility in the heart of the city.
What you'll get to experience with us
Experience a 1-hour journey on the Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe canal, a waterway connecting the Saigon River and passing through the central districts of Ho Chi Minh City. You can relax in the peaceful space amidst the urban area, enjoy the cool breeze in the morning, or admire the romantic sunset in the evening. In the morning, you can feed the fish; in the evening, experience releasing lanterns with the meaning of relaxation and wishing for peace - a very different perspective of Saigon.
