What to expect

Your adventure begins at 08:00 AM with a pick-up from your hotel in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. As you leave behind the bustling streets and towering skyscrapers of Saigon, you'll embark on a 2-hour drive south to the lush, tranquil landscapes of the Mekong Delta—a place where time slows down and nature thrives.

On arrival in Ben Tre, board a local boat for your first glimpse of life along the Delta’s network of winding canals. Glide through the waterways as you witness the traditional floating fish farms and see how the local communities make their living from the river. It’s a fascinating look at the Mekong’s unique ecosystem and the rhythm of life that revolves around the water.

Visit a small local coconut craft factory, where artisans create beautiful, hand-made products from the abundant coconuts grown in the region. From coconut bowls to intricate sculptures, you’ll see how this versatile fruit is woven into daily life. Afterward, enjoy a charming traditional folklore performance, a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the culture of the Mekong Delta, all while savoring some of the freshest tropical fruits the region has to offer.

For a fun and unique twist, you have the option to hop onto a motor-tricycle—a vintage mode of transport that was once a common sight in southern Vietnam during the 1960s. Cruise through the riverside promenade and narrow lanes, exploring the beauty of lush gardens and tasting honey harvested locally by the residents. The honey here is renowned across Vietnam for its rich, natural flavor.

Experience the true spirit of the Mekong Delta as you hop onto a sampan boat, gently rowed through a secluded maze of palm-lined canals. This peaceful journey offers an intimate look at rural life, where every turn reveals something new and serene.

After your boat ride, sit down to a traditional Mekong Delta lunch, featuring fresh, local ingredients and the unique flavors of southern Vietnam. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy the region's cuisine while soaking in the sights and sounds of the Delta.

On your way back to Ho Chi Minh City, stop by the Vinh Trang Pagoda—a striking Buddhist temple that boasts impressive architecture, serene gardens, and an incredible collection of statues. The peaceful atmosphere here offers a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city.

After a day filled with new experiences and unforgettable memories, return to Ho Chi Minh City by late afternoon, enriched by your immersion into the heart of the Mekong Delta.
