We didn't see the opening of the floating market because we would have to start about 4:30am and the floating market is mostly for buyers of large quantities. We went there later after being taken to the local morning street market in Can Tho where the local people go. It was much more colorful with live seafood, fruits, vegetables and flowers. We then went to the floating market, which was interesting but not a lot of activity (perhaps because we weren't there when they first open) other than other tourist boats and some smaller boats approaching to sell us their few fruits and drinks. Visiting the islands, Pagoda and seeing how some foods were made were interesting. It was an enjoyable 2 day trip overall.
