This morning, sampans will take you through a channel lined with mangroves. We will experience one of the most popular local modes of transport, the “xe lam” (three-wheeler), as we visit a local coconut candy maker.

After a fresh fruit tasting, we will continue to a pier where we board small, local boats for a journey through narrow creeks lined with Nipah palms, before returning to the ship.
