Includes a sampan ride, cycling, and a traditional lunch. Perfect for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the vibrant life of the Mekong Delta.
Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (District 1). From there, we'll head to My Tho, a town on the left side of the Mekong River.
Upon arrival, we'll visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, which dates back to the late 19th century. Then, we'll board a sampan and cruise down the river around the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands.
We'll stop at Unicorn Island to walk along the country lanes, visit orchards, enjoy tropical fruits, and listen to folk songs performed by local people. We'll also visit a fruit plantation.
Next, we'll ride a hand-rowed sampan through Thoi Son Canal to experience the beauty of the countryside. We'll visit a family business, a honey-bee farm, and enjoy honey tea and a coconut candy workshop.
We'll have lunch at a local restaurant, followed by a break. In the afternoon, we'll cycle around Tan Thach Village, meeting local villagers to experience daily life in the Mekong Delta. For those who prefer not to cycle, there will be time to relax in a hammock and enjoy the cool breeze.
Finally, we'll return to Saigon, and you'll be dropped off at your hotel around 5:30 PM, concluding the trip.
