Discover Mekong Delta Full Day Tour

Understanding the desire of many tourists to visit tranquil villages by the Mekong River – we highly recommend this package to Ben Tre town. This is different from the other Mekong tours. You won’t see many tourists around, and you are not in a rush to follow an itinerary. Instead, you will enjoy every moment of touching on real life by easy cycling along green fields, riding in a hand-rowed sampan cooled by gentle southern breezes, or having tasty coconut juice under the sunlight of this tropical land.

Highlights

• Cruise along the Mekong River by motorboat.
• Enjoy hand-rowed sampan under the shady water-coconut trees.
• Visit a traditional workshop where they produce coconut candies, rice paper, or rice wine…
• Cycle on shady roads, and pass by green fields and vegetable plantations.
• Experience the authentic Mekong lifestyle!

Itinerary

Our guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel, and drive you two hours to Ben Tre Town (~ 90km). We will stop along the way for refreshments and a toilet.

Upon arrival, we board a motorboat and cruise along a vast network of canals and channels to enjoy wonderful views of life along the Mekong River.

Stop at a brick kiln, where the locals work among clusters of beehive-shaped structures that churn out millions of bricks each year in handy traditional style. They offer a fascinating glimpse into a local industry.

Crossing the River to the other side, we will stop at a traditional workshop to witness a step-by-step process on how to make coconut candy while trying some yourself.

Visit a local family to see where they make traditional mats and enjoy some fruits and tea. It is a chance to interact with local people to know more about rural life.

Lunch will be served at a riverside restaurant with a Vietnamese 5-course set menu. Please request in advance if you have a food allergy, you are a vegetarian, or you observe Halal.

Enjoy what local people offer by hand-rowing a sampan along the shady, breezy canal.

Take a motor cart or cycle ride on shady roads, pass by green fields and vegetable plantations, and find out about tropical culture from the villagers.

We drive another two hours back to Ho Chi Minh City and complete the tour excursion by taking you back to the pickup point.
