Below is the reference price for the route from Ninh Kieu Wharf to Cai Rang floating market:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Group price:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 100,000 &#8211; 140,000 VND per person.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Full boat rental price:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 500,000 &#8211; 700,000 VND per boat (for 10-25 people).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Half-day or 5-hour rental price: Approximately 950,000 &#8211; 1,650,000 VND per boat (for 10-25 people), which includes visits to the Cai Rang Floating Market and other locations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"Are_there_mosquitoes_on_the_Mekong_River\"><strong>Are there mosquitoes on the Mekong River?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are mosquitoes in the plains, but they are not very numerous because the water is usually not stagnant. However, visitors should still use mosquito repellent and keep their doors closed at night during the rainy season. Other insects, such as spiders and ants, are also common. Although they may be large in size, they are usually harmless.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_it_safe_to_swim_in_the_Mekong_River\"><strong>Is it safe to swim in the Mekong River?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is best to enjoy the Mekong River from the shore, as swimming is not advisable. Although the water surface may look calm, strong currents can sweep someone away and cause them to lose control. Additionally, the river water contains a lot of silt, which can cause allergies and sore eyes if you swim in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_one_day_enough_for_the_Mekong_Delta\"><strong>Is one day enough for the Mekong Delta?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is hard to cover everything in a one-day tour of the Mekong Delta. However, it is enough to provide a quick introduction to the region\u2019s highlights. These tours typically depart early in the morning from Ho Chi Minh City and return in the evening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a day trip, you can visit My Tho or Ben Tre, two of the Delta provinces closest to Ho Chi Minh City.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-planned trip is the key to an unforgettable experience.
